-If you like VictoriaMetrics and want to contribute, then we need the following:
-
-- Filing issues and feature requests [here](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues).
-- Spreading a word about VictoriaMetrics: conference talks, articles, comments, experience sharing with colleagues.
-- Updating documentation.
-
-We are open to third-party pull requests provided they follow [KISS design principle](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KISS_principle):
-
-- Prefer simple code and architecture.
-- Avoid complex abstractions.
-- Avoid magic code and fancy algorithms.
-- Avoid [big external dependencies](https://medium.com/@valyala/stripping-dependency-bloat-in-victoriametrics-docker-image-983fb5912b0d).
-- Minimize the number of moving parts in the distributed system.
-- Avoid automated decisions, which may hurt cluster availability, consistency or performance.
-
-Adhering `KISS` principle simplifies the resulting code and architecture, so it can be reviewed, understood and verified by many people.

+# vlogsgenerator
+
+Logs generator for [VictoriaLogs](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/victorialogs/).
+
+## How to build vlogsgenerator?
+
+Run `make vlogsgenerator` from the repository root. This builds `bin/vlogsgenerator` binary.
+
+## How run vlogsgenerator?
+
+`vlogsgenerator` generates logs in [JSON line format](https://jsonlines.org/) suitable for the ingestion
+via [`/insert/jsonline` endpoint at VictoriaLogs](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/victorialogs/data-ingestion/#json-stream-api).
+
+By default it writes the generated logs into `stdout`. For example, the following command writes generated logs to `stdout`:
+
+```
+bin/vlogsgenerator
+```
+
+It is possible to redirect the generated logs to file. For example, the following command writes the generated logs to `logs.json` file:
+
+```
+bin/vlogsgenerator > logs.json
+```
+
+The generated logs at `logs.json` file can be inspected with the following command:
+
+```
+head logs.json | jq .
+```
+
+Below is an example output:
+
+```json
+{
+  "_time": "2024-05-08T14:34:00.854Z",
+  "_msg": "message for the stream 8 and worker 0; ip=185.69.136.129; uuid=b4fe8f1a-c93c-dea3-ba11-5b9f0509291e; u64=8996587920687045253",

+}
+```
+
+The `run_id` field uniquely identifies every `vlogsgenerator` invocation.
+
+### How to write logs to VictoriaLogs?
+
+The generated logs can be written directly to VictoriaLogs by passing the address of [`/insert/jsonline` endpoint](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/victorialogs/data-ingestion/#json-stream-api)
+to `-addr` command-line flag. For example, the following command writes the generated logs to VictoriaLogs running at `localhost`:
+
+```
+bin/vlogsgenerator -addr=http://localhost:9428/insert/jsonline
+```
+
+### Configuration
+
+`vlogsgenerator` accepts various command-line flags, which can be used for configuring the number and the shape of the generated logs.
+These flags can be inspected by running `vlogsgenerator -help`. Below are the most interesting flags:
+
+* `-start` - starting timestamp for generating logs. Logs are evenly generated on the [`-start` ... `-end`] interval.
+* `-end` - ending timestamp for generating logs. Logs are evenly generated on the [`-start` ... `-end`] interval.
+* `-activeStreams` - the number of active [log streams](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/victorialogs/keyconcepts/#stream-fields) to generate.
+* `-logsPerStream` - the number of log entries to generate per each log stream. Log entries are evenly distributed on the [`-start` ... `-end`] interval.
+
+The total number of generated logs can be calculated as `-activeStreams` * `-logsPerStream`.
+
+For example, the following command generates `1_000_000` log entries on the time range `[2024-01-01 - 2024-02-01]` across `100`
+[log streams](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/victorialogs/keyconcepts/#stream-fields), where every logs stream contains `10_000` log entries,
+and writes them to `http://localhost:9428/insert/jsonline`:
+
+```
+bin/vlogsgenerator \
+  -start=2024-01-01 -end=2024-02-01 \
+  -activeStreams=100 \
+  -logsPerStream=10_000 \
+  -addr=http://localhost:9428/insert/jsonline
+```
+
+### Churn rate
+
+It is possible to generate churn rate for active [log streams](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/victorialogs/keyconcepts/#stream-fields)
+by specifying `-totalStreams` command-line flag bigger than `-activeStreams`. For example, the following command generates
+logs for `1000` total streams, while the number of active streams equals to `100`. This means that at every time there are logs for `100` streams,
+but these streams change over the given [`-start` ... `-end`] time range, so the total number of streams on the given time range becomes `1000`:
+
+```
+bin/vlogsgenerator \
+  -start=2024-01-01 -end=2024-02-01 \
+  -activeStreams=100 \
+  -totalStreams=1_000 \
+  -logsPerStream=10_000 \
+  -addr=http://localhost:9428/insert/jsonline
+```
+
+In this case the total number of generated logs equals to `-totalStreams` * `-logsPerStream` = `10_000_000`.
+
+### Benchmark tuning
+
+By default `vlogsgenerator` generates and writes logs by a single worker. This may limit the maximum data ingestion rate during benchmarks.
+The number of workers can be changed via `-workers` command-line flag. For example, the following command generates and writes logs with `16` workers:
+
+```
+bin/vlogsgenerator \
+  -start=2024-01-01 -end=2024-02-01 \
+  -activeStreams=100 \
+  -logsPerStream=10_000 \
+  -addr=http://localhost:9428/insert/jsonline \
+  -workers=16
+```
+
+### Output statistics
+
+Every 10 seconds `vlogsgenerator` writes statistics about the generated logs into `stderr`. The frequency of the generated statistics can be adjusted via `-statInterval` command-line flag.
+For example, the following command writes statistics every 2 seconds:
+
+```
+bin/vlogsgenerator \
+  -start=2024-01-01 -end=2024-02-01 \
+  -activeStreams=100 \
+  -logsPerStream=10_000 \
+  -addr=http://localhost:9428/insert/jsonline \
+  -statInterval=2s
+```
