# Sonda

Sonda is a synthetic telemetry generator written in Rust. It produces metrics and logs shaped like the real signals that break observability pipelines — gaps, micro-bursts, cardinality spikes, value sequences — for testing ingest paths, alert rules, and dashboards.

## Install

```bash
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/davidban77/sonda/main/install.sh | sh
```

Or with Cargo: `cargo install sonda`.

## Quick start

```yaml title="hello.yaml"
version: 2
kind: runnable
defaults:
  rate: 1
  duration: 3s
  encoder: { type: prometheus_text }
  sink: { type: stdout }
scenarios:
  - id: cpu_usage
    signal_type: metrics
    name: cpu_usage
    generator: { type: sine, amplitude: 50.0, offset: 50.0, period_secs: 10 }
    labels: { host: web-01 }
```

```bash
sonda run hello.yaml
```

```text
cpu_usage{host="web-01"} 50 1779724001981
cpu_usage{host="web-01"} 79.38926261462366 1779724001982
cpu_usage{host="web-01"} 97.55282581475768 1779724002984
```

## Documentation

Full documentation — concepts, configuration, deployment, and guides — lives at **<https://davidban77.github.io/sonda/>**.

## Library usage

The generation engine ships as a separate crate: [`sonda-core`](https://crates.io/crates/sonda-core). Heavy dependencies (HTTP, Kafka, OTLP, remote-write) are gated behind Cargo feature flags.
