SLAMD 2.0.0-20090227 Release Notes
The following changes have been integrated into SLAMD since the SLAMD 2.0.0-20090227 release:
-
The process used to load classes has been updated so that it will re-try failed class
loads after replacing "com.sun.slamd" with just "com.slamd". This will make it
possible to view statistics collected from jobs with older versions of SLAMD before
the Java package hierarchy was renamed.
-
A new LDAP File-Based SearchRate job has been added, which can be used to perform
searches with filters read from a file. A new LDAP File-Based ModRate job has been
added which can be used to perform modifications with target entry DNs read from a
file. The file may be specified using a URL, so it can be read from the local
filesystem (using a URL of file:///path) or from a remote system over HTTP or FTP.
-
Updated the UnboundID LDAP SDK for Java library used to be the latest version, and
updated LDAP jobs which use this library to use the new synchronous mode. This will
make them significantly more efficient, and clients systems should be able to drive
higher levels of load against directory servers.
-
A number of shell scripts used to launch SLAMD tools have been updated to fix
problems that could prevent them from working properly. They should now work
properly on client and client manager installations, and they will work better in
paths which may contain spaces.
-
A number of jobs have been updated to support rate limiting. It is now possible to
specify the desired maximum number of operations per second per client, and they will
attempt to maintain that rate.
-
The completed jobs page has been updated so that when viewing information about a
completed job, it will be less likely to require horizontal scrolling to view the
content.
-
The LDAP mixed load job has been updated so that it will report the number of entries
returned for search operations.
-
All of the jobs which use value patterns have been updated so that the value patterns
will be validated at the time the jobs are scheduled. This will ensure that an
invalid value pattern is detected when a job is detected rather than after the job
has been sent to clients.
-
A new resource monitor has been added that can use the "zpool iostat" command to
monitor disk throughput for ZFS pools, including the number of I/O operations per
second and the amount of data read and written.
-
The LDAPDecoder tool has been updated to provide basic support for intermediate
response messages.
