+Overview
+--------
+
+This scripts is designed to automate the submission of data to a specified URL endpoint, leveraging JMeter for stress testing. The script modifies a JSON template, generates multiple submissions, and runs a JMeter test to simulate these submissions.
+
+Usage
+-----
+
+    ./jmeter_stress_test.sh <auth_code> <number_of_submissions> <ramp_up_period> [unique_name]
+
+*   `<auth_code>`: Authorization code for the API.
+*   `<number_of_submissions>`: Number of submissions to be generated.
+*   `<ramp_up_period>`: Time (in seconds) to ramp up the test.
+*   `[unique_name]` (optional): A unique name for this test run. If not provided, a random name will be generated.
+
+Prerequisites
+-------------
+
+*   `jq` installed for JSON processing.
+*   Docker installed and running.
+*   A JSON template file named `household_submission.json` in the script's directory.
+*   JMeter test plan file named `rtmis_stress_test.jmx` in the script's directory.
+
+Example Command
+---------------
+
+    ./jmeter_stress_test.sh my_auth_code 100 60 my_unique_test
+
+This command will:
+
+*   Use `my_auth_code` as the authorization code.
+*   Generate 100 submissions.
+*   Ramp up the test over 60 seconds.
+*   Use `my_unique_test` as the unique name for the test run.
+
+If you omit the unique name:
+
+    ./jmeter_stress_test.sh my_auth_code 100 60
+
+A random unique name will be generated automatically.
+
+Output
+------
+
+*   Modified JSON files stored in `./tmp/<current_date>/`.
+*   CSV metadata: `jmeter_data.csv`
+*   JMeter results:
+    *   JMeter log: `logs`
+    *   JMeter report: `report.jtl`
+    *   HTML report: `html-report`
