Fortio (Φορτίο) started as, and is, Istio's load testing tool and later (2018) graduated to be its own project.
Fortio is also used by, among others, Meshery.
Fortio runs at a specified query per second (qps) and records a histogram of execution time and calculates percentiles (e.g., p99 i.e., the response time such as 99% of the requests take less than that number (in seconds, SI unit)). It can run for a set duration, for a fixed number of calls, or until interrupted (at a constant target QPS, or max speed/load per connection/thread).
The name fortio comes from Greek φορτίο which means load/burden.
Fortio is a fast, small (4Mb Docker image, minimal dependencies), reusable, embeddable go library as well as a command line tool and server process, the server includes a simple web UI and REST API to trigger run and see graphical representation of the results (both a single latency graph and a multiple results comparative min, max, avg, qps and percentiles graphs).
Fortio also includes a set of server side features (similar to httpbin) to help debugging and testing: request echo back including headers, adding latency or error codes with a probability distribution, TCP echoing, TCP proxying, HTTP fan out/scatter and gather proxy server, gRPC echo/health in addition to HTTP, etc...
Fortio is quite mature and very stable with no known major bugs (lots of possible improvements if you want to contribute though!), and when bugs are found they are fixed quickly, so after 1 year of development and 42 incremental releases, we reached 1.0 in June 2018.
Fortio components can be used a library even for unrelated projects, for instance the stats, or fhttp utilities both client and server.
A recent addition is the new jrpc JSON Remote Procedure Calls library package (docs).
We also have moved some of the library to their own toplevel package, like:
- Dynamic flags: fortio.org/dflag
- Logger: fortio.org/log - now using structured JSON logs for servers (vs text for CLIs) since fortio 1.55 / log 1.4. In color since fortio 1.57 / log 1.6.
- Version helper: fortio.org/version
- CLI helpers integrating the above to reduce toil making new tools fortio.org/cli and servers fortio.org/scli for arguments, flags, usage, dynamic config, etc...
If you want to connect to fortio using HTTPS and fortio to provide real TLS certificates, or to multiplex gRPC and regular HTTP behind a single port, check out Fortio Proxy.
If you want fortio to generate detailed Open Telemetry traces use Fortiotel.
We publish a multi architecture Docker image (linux/amd64, linux/arm64, linux/ppc64le, linux/s390x) fortio/fortio.
For instance:
docker run -p 8080:8080 -p 8079:8079 fortio/fortio server & # For the server
docker run fortio/fortio load -logger-force-color http://www.google.com/ # For a test run, forcing color instead of JSON log outputYou can install from source:
- Install go (golang 1.18 or later)
go install fortio.org/fortio@latest- you can now run
fortio(from your gopath bin/ directory, usually~/go/bin)
The releases page has binaries for many OS/architecture combinations (see assets):
curl -L https://github.com/fortio/fortio/releases/download/v1.67.1/fortio-linux_amd64-1.67.1.tgz \
| sudo tar -C / -xvzpf -
# or the debian package
wget https://github.com/fortio/fortio/releases/download/v1.67.1/fortio_1.67.1_amd64.deb
dpkg -i fortio_1.67.1_amd64.deb
# or the rpm
rpm -i https://github.com/fortio/fortio/releases/download/v1.67.1/fortio-1.67.1-1.x86_64.rpm
# and more, see assets in release pageOn macOS you can also install Fortio using Homebrew:
brew install fortioOn Windows, download https://github.com/fortio/fortio/releases/download/v1.67.1/fortio_win_1.67.1.zip and extract fortio.exe to any location, then using the Windows Command Prompt:
fortio.exe server
(at the prompt, allow the Windows firewall to let connections in)
Once fortio server is running, you can visit its web UI at http://localhost:8080/fortio/
You can get a preview of the reporting/graphing UI at https://demo.fortio.org
Fortio can be a HTTP or gRPC load generator, gathering statistics using the load subcommand,
or start simple HTTP and gRPC ping servers, as well as a basic web UI, result graphing, TCP/UDP echo, proxies, https redirector,
with the server command or issue gRPC ping messages using the grpcping command.
It can also fetch a single URL's for debugging when using the curl command (or the -curl flag to the load command).
Likewise you can establish a single TCP (or Unix domain or UDP (use udp:// prefix)) connection using the nc command (like the standalone netcat package).
You can run just the redirector with redirect or just the TCP echo with tcp-echo.
If you saved JSON results (using the web UI or directly from the command line), you can browse and graph those results using the report command.
The version command will print the short print version. fortio buildinfo will print the full
build information.
Lastly, you can learn which flags are available using help command.
Most important flags for HTTP load generation:
| Flag | Description, example |
|---|---|
-qps rate |
Total Queries Per Seconds across all connections/threads or 0 for no wait/max qps |
-nocatchup |
Do not try to reach the target qps by going faster when the service falls behind and then recovers. Makes QPS an absolute ceiling even if the service has some spikes in latency, fortio will not compensate (but also won't stress the target more than the set qps). Recommended to use jointly with -uniform. |
-c connections |
Number of parallel simultaneous connections (and matching go routine) |
-t duration |
How long to run the test (for instance -t 30m for 30 minutes) or 0 to run until ^C, example (default 5s) |
-n numcalls |
Run for exactly this number of calls instead of duration. Default (0) is to use duration (-t). |
-payload str or -payload-file fname |
Switch to using POST with the given payload (see also -payload-size for random payload) |
-uniform |
Spread the calls in time across threads for a more uniform call distribution. Works even better in conjunction with -nocatchup. |
-r resolution |
Resolution of the histogram lowest buckets in seconds (default 0.001 i.e, 1ms), use 1/10th of your expected typical latency |
-H "header: value" |
Can be specified multiple times to add headers (including Host:) |
-a |
Automatically save JSON result with filename based on labels and timestamp |
-json filename |
Filename or - for stdout to output JSON result (relative to -data-dir by default, should end with .json if you want fortio report to show them; using -a is typically a better option) |
-labels "l1 l2 ..." |
Additional config data/labels to add to the resulting JSON, defaults to target URL and hostname |
-h2 |
Client calls will attempt to negotiate HTTP/2 instead of HTTP/1.1, implies -stdclient |
-X method |
Change HTTP method to the one specified instead of automatic HTTP GET or POST based on -payload-* or -content-type |
-logger-force-color |
For interactive runs for color instead of JSON output |
-logger-no-color |
Force JSON output even when run from terminal |
Changing the HTTP options like the TLS options -cert, -key, -cacert when launching an echo/UI/rapi server will make these options the default for runs initiated from that server (or fetches/proxies etc.).

See also the FAQ entry about fortio flags for best results.
Fortio server has the following feature for the HTTP listening on 8080 (all paths and ports are configurable through flags above):
-
A simple echo server which will echo back posted data (for any path not mentioned below).
For instance
curl -d abcdef http://localhost:8080/returnsabcdefback. It supports the following optional query argument parameters:
| Parameter | Usage, example |
|---|---|
| delay | duration to delay the response by. Can be a single value or a comma separated list of probabilities, e.g, delay=150us:10,2ms:5,0.5s:1 for 10% of chance of a 150 us delay, 5% of a 2ms delay and 1% of a 1/2 second delay |
| status | HTTP status to return instead of 200. Can be a single value or a comma separated list of probabilities, e.g, status=404:10,503:5,429:1 for 10% of chance of a 404 status, 5% of a 503 status and 1% of a 429 status |
| size | size of the payload to reply instead of echoing input. Also works as probabilities list. size=1024:10,512:5 10% of response will be 1k and 5% will be 512 bytes payload and the REST defaults to echoing back. |
| close | close the socket after answering e.g, close=true to close after all requests or close=5.3 to close after approximately 5.3% of requests |
| header | header(s) to add to the reply e.g., &header=Foo:Bar&header=X:Y |
| gzip | If Accept-Encoding: gzip is passed in headers by the caller/client; and gzip=true is in the query args, all response will be gzipped; or if gzip=42.7 is passed, approximately 42.7% will |
delay, close and header query arguments are also supported for the debug endpoint which echoes back the request (gzip is always done if Accept-Encoding: gzip is present, status is always 200, and the payload is the echo back debug information).
You can set a default value for all these by passing -echo-server-default-params to the server command line, for instance:
fortio server -echo-server-default-params="delay=0.5s:50,1s:40&status=418" will make the server respond with HTTP 418 and a delay of either 0.5s half of the time, 1s 40% and no delay in 10% of the calls; unless any ? query args is passed by the client. Note that the quotes (") are for the shell to escape the ampersand (&) but should not be put in a YAML nor the dynamic flag URL for instance.
-
/debugwill echo back the request in plain text for human debugging. -
/fortio/A UI to- Run/Trigger tests and graph the results.
- A UI to browse saved results and single graph or multi graph them (comparative graph of min, avg, median, p75, p99, p99.9 and max).
- Proxy/fetch other URLs.
/fortio/data/index.tsva tab separated value file conforming to Google cloud storage URL list data transfer format so you can export/backup local results to the cloud.- Download/sync peer to peer JSON results files from other Fortio servers (using their
index.tsvURLs). - Download/sync from an Amazon S3 or Google Cloud compatible bucket listings XML URLs.
-
API to trigger and cancel runs from the running server (like the form UI, but more directly and with
async=onoption)/fortio/rest/runstarts a run; the arguments are either from the command line or from POSTed JSON;jsonPathcan be provided to look for in a subset of the JSON object, for instancejsonPath=metadataallows using the flagger webhook metadata for fortio run parameters (see Remote Triggered load test section below)./fortio/rest/stopstops all current run or by run ID (passingrunid=query argument)./fortio/rest/statuslists the current runs (or the options of a single one ifrunidis passed).
-
DNS API for troubleshooting latency based records / view of the DNS where fortio server is running.
/fortio/rest/dns?name=xresolves all the IPs forx.
The report mode is a read-only subset of the above directly on /.
There is also the gRPC health and ping servers, as well as the HTTP->HTTPS redirector.
Note that recent versions of fortio, when run on the console, have colorized output (and JSON when ran in server environment). What's below is plain text from older versions.

For testing use make certs to generate self signed test certificates.
- First, start Fortio server with the
-certand-keyflags:
/path/to/fortio/server.crt and /path/to/fortio/server.key are paths to the TLS certificate and key that
you must provide:
$ fortio server -cert /path/to/fortio/server.crt -key /path/to/fortio/server.key

Using server key /path/to/fortio/server.key to construct TLS credentials- Next, use
grpcpingwith the-cacertflag:
/path/to/fortio/ca.crt is the path to the CA certificate

- plus
asyncquery arg or JSON value"on"will make the run asynchronous (returns just the runid of the run instead of waiting for the result); - plus read all the run configuration from either query args or JSONPath POSTed info;
- compatible with flagger and other webhooks;
- New in 1.22: use
headersJSON array to send headers (or multiple&H=query args).
Examples:
$ curl -v -d '{"metadata": {"url":"localhost:8080", "c":"1", "n":"1", "async":"on", "save":"on"}}' \
"localhost:8080/fortio/rest/run?jsonPath=.metadata"
{"started": 3}makes a 1 connection 1 query run for localhost:8080 URL asynchronously and saves results
or minimally:
curl -s -d '{"url":"localhost:8080"}' "localhost:8080/fortio/rest/run" | jqMore complete example:
With sample.json (all values must be strings, even the numbers):
{
"metadata": {
"url": "localhost:8080",
"payload": "foo",
"qps": "40",
"c": "2",
"t": "0.1s",
"headers": [
"Foo:Bar",
"X-Blah: Something else"
],
"save": "on"

}You can run:
$ fortio curl -stdclient -payload-file sample.json "http://localhost:8080/fortio/rest/run?jsonPath=.metadata" > result.jsonwhich makes requests like this:

a testThere are 2 flags to further control the behavior of the multi-server proxies:
- pass
-mirrorOriginFlag=falseto not mirror all headers and request type to targets. - pass
-multi-serial-modeto stream request response serially instead of fetching in parallel and writing combined data after completion.
Also remember you can pass multiple -M.
Example: open 2 additional listening ports and forward all requests received on 8888 and 8889 (IPv6) to 8080 (regular HTTP server)
$ fortio server -P "8888 [::1]:8080" -P "[::1]:8889 [::1]:8080"

Fortio X.Y.Z proxy for [::1]:8080 server listening on [::]:8888
Fortio X.Y.Z proxy for [::1]:8080 server listening on [::1]:8889Fortio is written in the Go language and includes a scalable semi log histogram in stats.go and a periodic runner engine in periodic.go with specializations for HTTP and gRPC. The fhttp/ package includes a very high performance specialized HTTP 1.1 client. You may find fortio's logger useful as well.
You can run the histogram code standalone as a command line in histogram/, a basic echo HTTP server in echosrv/, or both the HTTP echo and gRPC ping server through fortio server, the fortio command line interface lives in this top level directory fortio_main.go
There is also fcurl/ which is the fortio curl part of the code (if you need a light HTTP client without gRPC or server side).
A matching tiny (2Mb compressed) Docker image is fortio/fortio.fcurl.
You can get the data on the console, for instance, with 5k qps: (includes envoy and mixer in the calls)
