Set up

1. Install collectd on app - db server

• Copy files install-colectd.sh and collectd.conf from project to destination server.
• Edit collectd config in collectd.conf then execute file install-collectd.sh

2. Create a server for reporting and data visualization
3. Start docker containers for InfluxDB - Grafana - WebPageTest Server docker-compose up -d on reporting server

do not for got allow firewall for ports 8086, 25826, 3000  ( Or you could change the port in docker-compose.yml)

4. In Jmeter, add a backend listener to send metric to influxdb http://localhost:8086/write?db=jmeter

Developing script

Backend load testing :

• Using Jmeter Https Recorder | BlazeMetter Chrome exetension for generating scripts, then modify them
• Config number of VUs in thread then execute ( from GUI / Non GUI)

Frontend load testing :

• Modify sitespeed/pre.js script for fit with app
• Modify url.txt,contains all urls use for load testing
• Execute bash file run-sitespeed.sh with 3 parameters : url - args - config
  • url : Invidual url for load test, for e.g : https://google.com | Or url.txt file which contains list of urls
  • args : pre script if needed ( pre.js)
  • config : path to config file (config.json)
  • For e.g : ./run-sitespeed.sh ./url.txt pre.js kite-config.json

Reporting

• Access grafana dashboard then check the report
• If you don't like default report, https://grafana.com/dashboards there where you can search then download report which suite for you
