ior-parser 0.1.1

IOR benchmark log file parser for performance analysis and comparison

ior-parser

A Python package for parsing IOR (Interleaved Or Random) benchmark log files. Extracts performance metrics, test configuration, and filesystem information for analysis, reporting, and automation.

Features

• Parse IOR log files from command line or Python API
• Extracts test setup, timing, options, and results sections
• Converts sizes to bytes and timestamps to Unix time
• Outputs structured JSON for further analysis
• CLI and Python API usage
• Supports IOR logs from multiple versions and verbosity levels

Installation

pip install ior-parser

Or for development:

git clone https://github.com/izzet/ior-parser.git
cd ior-parser
pip install -e .

Usage

Command Line

ior_parser tests/logs/write_only.log --json --pretty

Python API

from ior_parser import parse_ior_log
result = parse_ior_log("path/to/ior.log")
print(result.to_dict())

Output Structure

• test_setup: IOR version, command line, machine, path, filesystem info
• test_times: began, finished, elapsed (as Unix timestamps)
• options: parsed IOR options (API, block size, transfer size, etc.)
• results: read/write operation metrics (bandwidth, IOPS, time)

Development

• Lint: ruff check .
• Format: ruff format .
• Test: pytest
• Pre-commit: pre-commit run --all-files
