The following example demonstrates testing directory performance by using the modrate command to write random 16-character description values to all entries in a sample file. $ grep ^uid: /path/to/Example.ldif | sed -e "s/uid: //" > names.txt $ modrate -p 1389 -D "cn=Directory Manager" -w password -A -F -c 4 -t 4 \ -b "uid=%s,ou=people,dc=example,dc=com" -g "rand(names.txt)" \ -g "randstr(16)" 'description:%2$s' -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Throughput Response Time (ops/second) (milliseconds) recent average recent average 99.9% 99.99% 99.999% err/sec req/res -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1085.9 1088.5 993.849 993.849 2135.220 2510.361 2510.361 0.0 2.3 2086.7 1648.8 1963.980 1683.038 3015.025 3078.628 3215.050 0.0 1.0 3097.3 2092.6 1332.930 1524.278 2940.131 3024.811 3215.050 0.0 1.0 3848.3 2501.4 1045.000 1352.583 2902.235 3015.863 3215.050 0.0 1.0 3641.2 2717.4 1106.157 1290.003 2901.379 3015.597 3215.050 0.0 1.0 3759.4 2883.0 1065.732 1243.534 2900.400 3015.501 3215.050 0.0 1.0 ^C
