Hi All, I have a feature request. One of the things that is missing (in my opinion) from the json output is the actual fio job configuration. In the current state it outputs a json file with all the output from the jobs run. One addition that would make it very helpful for parsing and comparing data (especially historical data or data run by another engineer) is to have the actual job file as a key inside the json output. This could be something as simple as just putting the parsed command line argument in fio --ioengine=libaio --buffered=0 --norandommap --log_avg_msec=10000 -- direct=1 --ba=4k --ramp_time=0 --runtime=1800 --time_based -- filename=/dev/sdg --name=8K_RR_QD1 --name=8K_RR_QD1 --bs=8k -- rw=randread --iodepth=1 --write_iops_log=./8K_RR_qd1_ Or even better would be a dictionary inside the json with every configuration parameter verbosely printed (like the below "jobinfo") { "fio version" : "fio-2.1.10", "jobs" : [ { "jobname" : "8K_Random_Read", "jobinfo" :{ "ioengine" : "libaio" "buffered" : 0 "norandommap" : 1 "log_avg_msec" : 10000 "direct" : 1 "ba" : 4k "ramp_time" : 0 "runtime" :1800 "time_based" : 1 "filename" : "/dev/sdc" "name" : "8K_Random_Read" "bs" : "8K" "rw" : "randread" "iodepth" : 1 } "groupid" : 0, "error" : 0, "read" : { I understand it would add size to the output but I think it would really help.
That would be very useful, you're not the first to bring it up. I'll be happy to take patches to add this feature.
