For more information about what comprises a workload, see [Anatomy of a workload](({{site.url}}{{site.baseurl}}/benchmark/understanding-workloads/anatomy-of-a-workload/).
If you want to try certain workloads before creating your own, use the following examples.
### Running unthrottled
In the following example, OpenSearch Benchmark runs an unthrottled bulk index operation for 1 hour against the `movies` index:
```json
{
"description": "Tutorial benchmark for OpenSearch Benchmark",
"indices": [
{
"name": "movies",
"body": "index.json"
}
],
"corpora": [
{
"name": "movies",
"documents": [
{
"source-file": "movies-documents.json",
"document-count": 11658903, # Fetch document count from command line
"uncompressed-bytes": 1544799789 # Fetch uncompressed bytes from command line
}
]
}
],
"schedule": [
{
"operation": "bulk",
"warmup-time-period": 120,
"time-period": 3600,
"clients": 8
}
]
}
```
### Workload with a single task
The following workload runs a benchmark with a single task: a `match_all` query. Because no `clients` are indicated, only one client is used. According to the `schedule`, the workload runs the `match_all` query at 10 operations per second with 1 client, uses 100 iterations to warm up, and uses the next 100 iterations to measure the benchmark:
```json
{
"description": "Tutorial benchmark for OpenSearch Benchmark",
"indices": [
{
"name": "movies",
"body": "index.json"
}
],
"corpora": [
{
"name": "movies",
"documents": [
{
"source-file": "movies-documents.json",
"document-count": 11658903, # Fetch document count from command line
"uncompressed-bytes": 1544799789 # Fetch uncompressed bytes from command line
}
]
}
],
{
"schedule": [
{
"operation": {
"operation-type": "search",
"index": "_all",
"body": {
"query": {
"match_all": {}
}
}
},
"warmup-iterations": 100,
"iterations": 100,
"target-throughput": 10
}
]
}
}
```
