A JMeter Docker Container for Master/Slave load testing

Using the Container

Configuring the Containers

Environment Variables:

• JMETER_MODE - master or worker
• JMETER_PROPERTIES - path in the container to the JMeter properties file
• JMETER_LOG - path in the container to the JMeter log
• JMETER_LOADTEST - path in the container to the JMX test file (master)
• JMETER_RESULTS - path in the container for the test results file (master), usually with a '.jtl' extension

Volumes:

You'll need to setup one or more volume mounts to cover the locations of the following files from the host running the master instance

• the properties file
• the log file
• the test .jmx file
• the rest .jtl results file

Properties:

You can override or supply any values in the properties file required to run your test. The only requirement is that you set the hosts value to the list of IPS used by the worker container instances. The format is a comma separated list of IPs.

Running with Kubernetes

Kubernetes can simplify the process of running load tests without requiring the creation of new hosts to run your tests. A Kubernetes cluster can take a specification for the containers you want to run and spread it across a cluster and even scale new cluster node instances if necessary.

The Loadtest Framework with Kubernetes Helm

Helm provides a template approach to Kubernetes deployments. This project provides a Helm Chart that will deploy a JMeter master and a number of workers with a test that is loaded from a git repository.
