Template

Template is a YAML input file which defines all the requests and other metadata for a template.

id string

ID is the unique id for the template.

Good IDs

A good ID uniquely identifies what the requests in the template are doing. Let's say you have a template that identifies a git-config file on the webservers, a good name would be git-config-exposure. Another example name is azure-apps-nxdomain-takeover.

Threads specifies number of threads to use sending requests. This enables Connection Pooling.

Connection: Close attribute must not be used in request while using threads flag, otherwise pooling will fail and engine will continue to close connections after requests.

Examples:

# Send requests using 10 concurrent threads
threads: 10

inputs []network.Input
