Benchmarking Suite v2.2.1

Release date: 2017-10-20

This patch release fixes some minor bugs found in the code:

  • fixed creation of new sessions if the provider configuration is in json format
  • fixed default error handling in the REST server (now the full exception message - and not only “Internal Server Error” is sent back to the caller)
  • fixed parsing of “network” and “security_group” parameters: now they can be either the id or the name of the object
  • fixed crash of some Filebench workloads on Amazon EC2 using the micro instances
