Benchy - Server Benchmarking Script

Benchy is a fork of MasonR's Yet Another Bench Script (YABS), some of Benchy code used same technique as YABS do— I have rewritten some of snippets to optimize the process. Benchy is known to work across several shells.

Usage

Normal

Via wget.

wget -qO- benchy.pw | sh

Via curl.

curl -Ls benchy.pw | sh

Alias

Add following command to your .bashrc or .bash_aliases.

wget.

  benchy() { wget -qO- benchy.pw | sh -s -- "$@"; }

curl.

  benchy() { curl -Ls benchy.pw | sh -s -- "$@"; }

Source the file then (e.g. . ~/.bashrc or . ~/.bash_aliases).
You can now painlessly perform benchmark without typing long command. Be sure to check available option on Supported Flag

	$ benchy -v
	Version  : v2.4
	Revision : 24 Nov 2022

Environment Variable

If you find yourself perform benchmark alot, you may find this feature useful. By default benchy will find if .benchy_opt exist on home directory, and will pick variable defined there.

Download the template.

wget -qO- benchy.pw | sh -s -- -e

wget -O $HOME/.benchy_opt benchy.pw/env

Uncomment any function that you wish to enable.
Run benchy with option -u or --use-env.
```
wget -qO- benchy.pw | sh -s -- -u
```
You will see Found predefined option ! message in your screen.

Supported flag

Usage: benchy [options]
Options:
  -o, --output            Store benchy result to file in given directory (default: Current directory)
  -c, --color=yes|no      Enable or disable colored output (default: Enabled)
  -e, --grab-env          Pull benchy environmental file
  -u, --use-env           Use environmental file in place of regular option
  -k, --keep-file         Keep benchy related files after successful run (default: Remove)
  -4, --geekbench4        Utilize ONLY geekbench 4 instead of 5
  -q, --geekbench         Utilize both geekbench 4 and 5
  -j, --json              Store benchy result as json
  -m, --region            Enable region based network test, otherwise will use mixed source
  -n, --skip-network      Skip network measurement test
  -d, --skip-disk         Skip fio disk benchmark test
  -g, --skip-gb           Skip geekbench 5 test
  -r, --region=ARG        Specify region to bench network (Valid ARG: as, af, eu, na, sa, oc, mix)
  -s, --speedtest         Prefer speedtest in place of iperf3
  -i, --show-ip           Display server public IP address
  -p, --parse-only        Only parse basic information (equal to -ndg)
  -h, --help              Display this help section
  -v, --version           Display version

Feature

Basic server information, this include but not limited to:
- Operating System
- CPU Model
- CPU Core Count
- Virtualization used
- Disk (Count and Usage)
- Memory (Count and Usage)
- Swap size
IPv4 Check
IPv6 Check
Server Geolocation
Server Uptime
Fallback to wget if curl is not installed (this applied to Debian based system, where curl is not installed by default)
POSIX compliant, meaning in theory it should work on all platform that enforce POSIX. _{See Portability}
Bench multiple disk at one time
Ability to pick iperf region
JSON Output

Portability

As of fca1b99, I have removed all bashism from Benchy code and replace them with their POSIX counterpart. This of course to ensure portability between different kind of shells.

Benchy should work on all POSIX shells (e.g. dash, ksh, zsh, mksh, ash). Though I only have tested and confirm working on dash and ksh.
