Distbench Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Proxy issue

Distbench will attempt to honour the proxy environment variables (grpc_proxy, https_proxy, http_proxy, no_grpc_proxy, no_proxy). In most cases, you probably want to run the benchmark without using a proxy. For this, unset the proxy variables to run:

http_proxy="" https_proxy="" command

Running on WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux)

Running on WSL, you will probably run into the following issue:

socket_utils_common_posix.cc:224] check for SO_REUSEPORT: {...}

There is currently no known workaround.

If you get a Bazel dependency issue on standard include file (such as stdint.h, stdarg.h...):

by 'absl/base/internal/unscaledcycleclock.cc':
  '/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/11/include/stdint.h'
  ...

Try cleaning the cache with:
