Jmeter test workload on kubernetes deployed via helm charts – Please [✩Star] if you're using it ;)
kubernetes-jmeter
Jmeter test workload inside kubernetes. Jmeter chart bootstraps an Jmeter stack on a Kubernetes cluster using the Helm package manager.
Currently jmeter helm chart deploy:
- Jmeter master
- Jmeter slaves
- InfluxDB instance with graphite interface as a jmeter backend
- Grafana instance
Installation
Using helm repo:
helm repo add k8s-jmeter https://kaarolch.github.io/kubernetes-jmeter/charts/
Old way: Using local copy of git repository:
git clone [email protected]:kaarolch/kubernetes-jmeter.git
cd kubernetes-jmeter/charts/jmeter
helm install -n test ./
When jmeter chart is installed from local folder k8s-jmeter/jmeter should be replace with ./.
If you would like to provide custom values.yaml you can add -f flag.
helm install -n test k8s-jmeter/jmeter -f my_values.yaml
The command deploys Jmeter on the Kubernetes cluster in the default configuration. The configuration section lists the parameters that can be configured during installation.
Tip: List all releases using
helm list
If you change deployment name (-n test) please update grafana datasource influx url inside your custom values.yaml files.
If you already own grafan and influx stack, kuberentes-jmeter could be deployed without those two dependencies.
helm install -n test k8s-jmeter/jmeter --set grafana.enabled=false,influxdb.enabled=false
Run sample test
Manual run
Copy example test
kubectl cp examples/simple_test.jmx $(kubectl get pod -l "app=jmeter-master" -o jsonpath='{.items[0].metadata.name}'):/test/
Run tests
kubectl exec -it $(kubectl get pod -l "app=jmeter-master" -o jsonpath='{.items[0].metadata.name}') -- sh -c 'ONE_SHOT=true; /run-test.sh'
Run test via configmap
Upload test as configmap:
kubectl create configmap one-test --from-file=./examples/simple_test.jmx
Deploy test with auto run, if the config.master.oneShotTest would be skipped the test need to be trigger as in manual run step.
cd ./charts/jmeter
helm install -n test k8s-jmeter/jmeter --set config.master.testsConfigMap=one-test,config.master.oneShotTest=true
Logs could be displayed via kubectl logs or visualize via grafana:
kubectl logs $(kubectl get pod -l "app=jmeter-master" -o jsonpath='{.items[0].metadata.name}')

... end of run
Test could be restarted via pod restart:
kubectl delete pods $(kubectl get pod -l "app=jmeter-master" -o jsonpath='{.items[0].metadata.name}')
Remove stack
helm delete YOUR_RELEASE_NAME --purge
The command removes all the Kubernetes components associated with the chart and deletes the release.

Grafana tips
File grafana.md would cover all extra tips for config/access grafana charts.
Project status
Currently kubernetes-jmeter project is able to run some test on distributed slaves but there still is a lot to do. In few days there should be some documentation added to this repo.
To Do
Everything ;)
- Visualization stack (Grafana + influxdb)
- Add default dashboard after deployment
- Helm charts - 80% of base chart
- (Hold) Auto update influxdb datasource base on release name currently there is fixed test-influx host added.
- Resource limitation
- Jmeter test get from maven (0%)
- Jmeter test get from git (20%) - still not push to master
- SSL between Jmeter nodes
- Documentation (55%)
