# This file is used to configure the load test for non-ephemeral chains.
# It is intended to target a remote environment, such as a devnet or testnet.
is_ephemeral_chain: false

# testnet_node is the URL of the node that the load test will use to query the
# chain and submit transactions.

# The service ID to request relays from.
service_id: "anvil"

# The address of the account that will be used to fund the application accounts
# so that they can stake on the network.

# TODO_TECHDEBT(@bryanchriswhite, #512): Replace with faucet address.

Run the test

Observe the results

You can see the performance of the requests on the Grafana dashboards:

The DevNets have LoadBalancers which allow for more metrics about network load and latency. When looking at the NGINX Ingress controller Dashboard, make sure to change the namespace to match the DevNet name.
