The BNG Blaster controller provides a REST API to start and stop multiple test instances. It exposes the BNG Blaster JSON RPC API as REST API and provides endpoints to download logs and reports.
The controller comes with good defaults, just starting the controller will give you an instance that:
- runs on port
8001 - assumes bngblaster is installed at
/usr/sbin/bngblaster - uses
/var/bngblasteras storage directory
The blaster instance needs at least the permissions required to run
the bngblaster itself.
$ ./bngblasterctrl -h
