Scripted Client Admin

The Scripted Client Admin extends the functionality of the Interactive Client Admin by enabling automation through scripts. This client is ideal for executing repetitive or predefined tasks without manual intervention.

Key Features​

  • Accepts a list of arguments or script files to perform operations.
  • Automates the creation, acquisition, and management of Chronicles, Stories, and Events.
  • Suitable for running synthetic workloads or batch processing tasks.

Example Script​

Here is an example of a script file (scripted_workload.sh) to automate operations:

# Create a Chronicle and a Story, write events, and clean up
client_admin -c my_chronicle
client_admin -a -s my_chronicle my_story
client_admin -w "Event 1"
client_admin -w "Event 2"
client_admin -q -s my_chronicle my_story
client_admin -d -s my_chronicle my_story
client_admin -d -c my_chronicle

Running the Script​

Execute the script using the -f flag:

client_admin -f scripted_workload.sh

This example demonstrates how to automate the lifecycle of Chronicles and Stories, making the tool ideal for integration into continuous workflows or stress-testing scenarios.

Additional Features​

  • Performance Testing: Use the --perf flag to collect performance metrics for operations.
  • Shared Stories: Use the --shared_story flag to test collaborative access scenarios.
