rbillon59/jmeter repository overview

⁠JMeter dockerized template repository

⁠How to use it

Be sure to have Docker up and ready on your host and docker-compose installed

Create a repository from this template then clone it with :

git clone <REPO> 

1. Write your JMeter scenario and put in the scenario folder : You can open the JMeter GUI with :

sh apache-jmeter-5.2.1/bin/jmeter

1. Put the needed csv to the data folder (in JMeter just put the filename in the path) : Be sure your filename have a .csv suffix (in lowercase)
2. Run your scenario with

source .env && JMX=my-scenario.jmx sudo docker-compose -p jmeter up --scale jmeter-slave=${nbInjector} -d

• Sourcing the .env will give you the ability to use $nbInjector in the docker-compose command line.
• Passing the JMX as param and not in the .env can give you flexibility to run the test of your choice by command line without editing the env file (optional)
• The -p jmeter is mandatory to prefix the docker-compose created networks and containers to work together (Tips : For every docker-compose command, use -p jmeter)
• The scale command is used to create the necessary amount of slaves injectors

1. You can visualize your performance test on host:30000 with the grafana attached. (login: admin password: admin)
2. At the end of the test, JMeter will create a report in the report directory
3. When you are done you can do

docker-compose -p jmeter down

to shutdown influxdb, grafana

Tips :

• Your influxdb datas are persisted in the influx-grafana folder, so you can relaunch a test with your historical datas on it.
• If you need to update your JVM configuration, you can update the environment variables in the docker compose file
• If you specified hosts / ports / protocol etc.. directly in jour jmx, the environment variable will NOT override them.
• You can run a multi injector test by changing your .env file with nbInjector=X with the number of injectors you will need
• The number of threads defined in the .env file is Per Injectors

⁠Options

Options can be set in the .env file or docker-compose.yml file directly

JMX required : Your jmx filename
XMX optional : Set the java heap (default 1g)
XMS optional : Set the java heap (default 1g)
host optional : Set the default request hostname on which perform the test (default jsonplaceholder.typicode.com)
port optional : Set the default request port on which perform the test (default 443)
protocol optional : Set the default request protocol (default https)
threads optional : Set the number of virtual users to create (default 10)
duration optional : Set the duration of the test in seconds (default 600)
rampup optional : Set the time needed to create the total threads number (dafault 60)
nbInjector optional : Set the number of injectors needed to run the test (default 1) SLAVE=1 required on slave : As it's the same docker images for controller and slaves, it's used to distinguish both
