Sea Monkey

Sea Monkey is a simple but awesome tool to help populate an Octopus instance with a lot of test data.

WARNING: Only use this tool against test/development Octopus instances where you need to simulate load

To populate a bunch of test data, perform the following:

• Open the solution and build the solution.
• Launch your favourite console app/command prompt and navigate to the project's bin/debug/netcoreapp... folder.
• Execute .\SeaMonkey.exe --server=http://localhost:8065 --apiKey=API-1234 at a Windows command prompt, replacing the server and apiKey with your own values, and your choice of monkey runners:
  • --runSetupMonkey
  • --runTenantMonkey
  • --runDeployMonkey
  • --runConfigurationMonkey
  • --runInfrastructureMonkey
  • --runLibraryMonkey
  • --runVariablesMonkey

E.g. Running the library monkey:

PS Z:\development\SeaMonkey\Console\bin\Debug\netcoreapp3.1> .\SeaMonkey.exe --server=http://localhost:8065 --apiKey=API-1234 --runLibraryMonkey

E.g. Deploying packages on an empty database:

PS Z:\development\SeaMonkey\Console\bin\Debug\netcoreapp3.1> .\SeaMonkey.exe --server=http://localhost:8065 --apiKey=API-1234 --runSetupMonkey --runInfrastructureMonkey --runDeployMonkey

NOTE: You'll likely need to update the Octopus.Client NuGet package dependency.
