compare

The compare command helps you analyze the difference between two benchmark tests. This can help you analyze the performance impact of changes made from a previous test based on a specific Git revision.

Usage

You can compare two different workload tests using their TestExecution IDs. To find a list of tests run from a specific workload, use opensearch-benchmark list test_executions. You should receive an output similar to the following:

   ____                  _____                      __       ____                  __                         __

Then, use compare to call a --baseline test and a --contender test for comparison.

opensearch-benchmark compare --baseline=417ed42-6671-9i79-11a1-e367636068ce --contender=beb154e4-0a05-4f45-ad9f-e34f9a9e51f7

You should receive the following response comparing the final benchmark metrics for both tests:

Options

You can use the following options to customize the results of your test comparison:

  • --baseline: The baseline TestExecution ID used to compare the contender TestExecution.
  • --contender: The TestExecution ID for the contender being compared to the baseline.
  • --results-format: Defines the output format for the command line results, either markdown or csv. Default is markdown.
  • --results-number-align: Defines the column number alignment for when the compare command outputs results. Default is right.
  • --results-file: When provided a file path, writes the compare results to the file indicated in the path.
  • --show-in-results: Determines whether or not to include the comparison in the results file.
