In order to run load testing on services you will need tsung installed, its config for the needed service and, probably, modified service to simplify testing procedure. For example, uptime tracker on /update endpoints requires authorization which can't be achieved with tsung, so we need to remove it for testing.
To install tsung run the following commands:
$ apt update
$ apt install erlang
$ apt install gnuplot-nox libtemplate-perl libhtml-template-perl libhtml-template-expr-perl
$ wget http://tsung.erlang-projects.org/dist/tsung-1.7.0.tar.gz
$ tar -zxvf tsung-1.7.0 .tar.gz
$ cd ./tsung-1.7.0
$ ./configure && make && make install
$ mkdir $HOME/.tsung tsung is now installed on 172.105.122.153.
Uptime tracker is now ready for load testing. To enable it, you should pass --enable-load-testing flag to the binary.
To deploy services for load testing, run:
$ make docker-push-test
$ make deploy-load-testingThen you should run tsung from the suitable machine. 172.105.122.153 may be used for this purposes. It's run this way:
$ tsung -f PATH_TO_CONFIG startConfig files are located in skywire-services/load-testing/.
The tests logically consist of two phases which are executed in parallel. First, tsung creates clients and then generates requests from these clients. Anytime test can be interrupted with Ctrl-C to save the results.
After test is aborted, cd into the directory where tsung put logs for this test. This directory is outputted at the beginning of the test. From there run:
$ /usr/lib/tsung/bin/tsung_stats.plAfter that you may zip this folder, download it to your machine, unpack and open graph.html to views the results.
