<![CDATA[Test tools, know any good ones?]]>Don't know if this is the right forum, but here is a couple of the tools I use when testing monitoring.
(Mind that I 99.9% of the time use different flavors of Windows, so this is tools for Windows).

I often find it useful to test monitoring without touching the settings/tresholds in NetXMS, but rather putting load on the monitored systems.

CPU:
CPUSTRES.EXE
This is an old as sin (from 1999) test tool from Sysinternals. While it hardly is able stress my main PC with its i7-3930K 6-core CPU its perfect for an anemic Acer Revo 70 with an AMD E-450 or virtual machines.

Hyper PI
This is a Super PI front-end well suited for multi-core systems.

Memory:
TestLimit
Also a tool from Sysinternals, 32- and 64-bit. I call it "the RAM eater", perfect for my use, ranging from VM's with 512MB to my main PC with 32GB RAM.
f.ex testlimit64 -d -c nbrInMB, ie testlimit64 -d -c 4096
 "eats" the RAM amount specified.

This is what I use, but I have still to find simple, easy to use tools for simulating disk load and network load.
Any recommendations anyone?

TIA
