--load: ramp-up and stepped load to find a server's knee #2841

Which client?

All / shared core

The problem

A fixed concurrency or rate shows how a server behaves at one load level. Finding where latency or errors start climbing (the knee) means many separate runs and stitching their summaries together by hand.

Solution you have in mind (optional)

--load-ramp <from>:<to>:<duration> (concurrency or rate) and/or --load-steps 10,25,50,100 --load-step-duration 30, with one summary row per step, and optionally stop at the first step that breaches a threshold.

Alternatives or workarounds you have tried

A shell loop over --load-concurrency values, parsing each JSON summary with jq.
