Although it was written for the -purpose of testing Qpid, it can be used to test the performance of any JMS -provider with minimal configuration changes. - -This document explains how to use the framework. - - -How it works ------------- - -First, you need to run a message broker. This can be Qpid, ActiveMQ etc. All -messages are sent using the JMS API. - -Then run a Perf Test Controller, providing the details of the test in either or -a JSON or Javascript file. This specifies details about the messages to send, -how many connections and sessions to use etc. There are a lot of options -available - see the .js and .json files under this folder for examples. - -Now run one or more Perf Test Client processes. These will be responsible for -sending/receiving the messages once the test starts. For convenience, you can -instead configure the Controller to start clients in-process. The clients and -the controller communicate using queues on the message broker. - -The test results are written to CSV files. - -You can use the qpid-perftests-visualisation tool to create charts from the CSV files. - -Example usage -------------- - -The etc/ folder contains shell scripts that can be used to run the performance -tests and visualise the results. It also contains sub-folders for test config -and chart definitions. - -Instructions ------------- - -1. Extract the archive - -2. cd into the etc/ folder - -3. Start your JMS broker - -4. To run the Controller and clients in a single process, run the following -command: - -java -cp ".:../lib/*:/path/to/your-jms-client-jars/*" \ - -Dqpid.dest_syntax=BURL \ - org.apache.qpid.disttest.ControllerRunner \ - jndi-config=perftests-jndi.properties \ - test-config=/path/to/test-config.json \ - distributed=false - -Note that the test-config parameter can point at either a JSON or Javascript -file, or at a directory (in which case all the .json and .js files in the -directory are used. - -When the test is complete, the CSV files containing the results are written to -the current directory. - - -Running the clients in a separate process ------------------------------------------ - -When using a large number of clients, you may get more representative -performance results if the clients are distributed among multiple processes, -potentially on multiple machines. To do this: - -1. Run the Controller, providing distributed=true. - -2. Run your clients (assuming you want to launch 10 logical clients in this -process): - -java -cp ".:../lib/*:/path/to/your-jms-client-jars/*" \ - -Dqpid.dest_syntax=BURL \ - org.apache.qpid.disttest.ClientRunner \ - jndi-config=perftests-jndi.properties \ - number-of-clients=10 - - -Caveats for non-Qpid JMS providers ----------------------------------- - -If you are not using the Qpid broker, you must create one or more queues before -running the test. This is necessary because you can't use Qpid's API to create -queues on the broker. The queues are: - -– The controller queue. You can specify the physical name of this in -etc/perftests-jndi.properties. This queue is used by the clients to register -with the Controller and to send results to it. -– the queue(s) used by your JSON test configuration (unless you have configured -a vendor-specific queue creator). - -You must also override the Controller's default queue creator using the system -property qpid.disttest.queue.creator.class. Provide the class name of an -implementation of org.apache.qpid.disttest.jms.QueueCreator, or -org.apache.qpid.disttest.jms.NoOpQueueCreator if you are going to create and -delete the queues manually. - -You can also omit the qpid.dest_syntax system property if your JMS provider is -not Qpid. |
