LoadMonger runs as a Java application from the command line. It reads a (JSON) configuration script which you develop to describe the test scenario. Certain items in the configuration script such as header values, and URLs may employ value templates. Value templates allow you to pass parameters to the configuration script on the command line and have them substituted in when the script is executed.
When LoadMonger loads up a script it determines how many clients will be created, and then starts a worker thread per client. An additional thread is created to harvest metric data from the Client worker threads on a periodic cycle (currently 5 seconds). This MetricHarvester thread will output the summary metrics to stdout. You can use re-direction to have this output go to a file.
