Edge Delta Benchmarks

Edge Delta uses the Vector Test Harness tool for benchmark results.

2 minute read

Overview

Edge Delta uses the Vector Test Harness to obtain benchmark results. This tool was developed by Timberio. It is open source, located in the https://github.com/timberio/vector-test-harness public code repository.

Test Cases

TCP to Blackhole

In this test case, the flow starts with messages from producers and then terminates with the agent when the messages are ingested to itself.

TCP to TCP

In this test case, the agent ingests messages from TCP producers and then pushes the processed messages to a TCP consumer.

TCP to HTTP

In this test case, the agent ingests messages from TCP producers and then pushes the processed messages to an HTTP consumer.

File to TCP

In this test case, the agent ingests messages from files and then pushes the processed messages to a TCP consumer.

Regex Parsing

In this test case, the agent ingests messages from a TCP, then applies an Apache common regex processor, and then pushes the processed messages to a TCP consumer.

Results

Edge Delta retains the results obtained by Vector and adds results for the Edge Delta agent:
