Perf Kit +2. Soak Kit +3. Perf Test use cases +4. Soak Test use cases +5. Running the sample perf test report +6. Running the sample soak test report + +1.0 Perf Kit +------------ +1.1 The perf kit can be packaged as an RPM or a tar file and deploy on a target environment and run the perf report. +Or else a perf report can be automated to run every day or so an record numbers to catch perf regressions. + +1.2 It calculates the following results in msg/sec. + + System throuhgput : no_of_msgs / (time_last_msg_rcvd - time_first_msg_send) + + Producer rate : no_of_msgs / (time_after_sending - time_before_sending) + + Producer rate : no_of_msgs / (time_last_msg_rcvd - time_first_msg_rcvd) + + Latency : time_msg_rcvd - time_msg_sent + +The test will print min, max and avg latency. + +1.3 The test assume that both producer and consumer are run on the same machine or different machines that are time synced. + +1.4 You can also use run_sub.sh and run_pub.sh to run different use cases with several options. + Please look at TestParams.java for all the configurable options. + +1.5 You can also use the test kit to benchmark against any vendor. + + +2.0 Soak tests +-------------- +2.0 This includes a set of soak tests that can be run for a longer duration. + +2.1 A typical test will send x-1 messages and the xth message will contain an "End" marker. + The producer will print the timestamp as soon as it sends the xth message. + The consumer will reply with an empty message to the replyTo destination given in the xth message. + The consumer prints the throuhgput for the iteration and the latency for the xth message. + A typical value for x is 100k + +2.2 The feedback loop prevents the producer from overrunning the consumer. + And the printout for every xth message will let you know how many iterations been completed at any given time. + (Ex a simple cat log | wc -l will give you the how many iterations have been completed so far). + +2.2 The following results can be calculated for these tests. + + Memory, CPU for each producer/consumer - look at testkit/bin/run_soak_client.sh for an example + + You can find the Avg, Min & Max for throughput, latency, CPU and memory for the entire test run. + (look at testkit/bin/soak_report.sh) for an example). + + You could also graph throughput, latency, CPU and memory using the comma separated log files. + +2.2 If you use different machines for producer and consumer the machines have to be time synced to have meaningful latency samples. + +3.0 Perf Test report use cases +------------------------------- +3.1 Please check testkit/bin/perf_report.sh for more details + +3.2 A typical test run will send 1000 msgs during warmup and 200k msgs for result calculation. + +Test 1 Trans Queue + +Test 2 Dura Queue + +Test 3 Dura Queue Sync + +Test 4 Topic + +Test 5 Durable Topic + +Test 6 Fanout + +Test 7 Small TX (about 2 msgs per tx) + +Test 8 Large TX (about 1000 msgs per tx) + + +4.0 Soak tests use cases +------------------------- +4.1 Following are the current tests available in the test kit. + +4.2 Please refer to the source to see the javadoc and options + + +1. SimpleProducer/Consumer sends X messages at a time and will wait for confirmation from producer before proceeding with the next iteration. A no of options can be configured. + +2. MultiThreadedProducer/Consumer does the same thing as above but runs each session in a separate thread. + It can also send messages transactionally. Again a no of options can be configured. + +3. ResourceLeakTest will setup consumer/producers sends x messages and then teard down everything and continue again. + + +5.0 Running the sample perf test report +--------------------------------------- +The testkit/bin contains perf_report.sh. +It runs the above 8 use cases against a broker and print the results in a tabular format. + +For example +================================================================================================ +|Test |System throuput|Producer rate|Consumer Rate|Avg Latency|Min Latency|Max Latency| +------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ +|Trans_Queue | xxxxx.xx| xxxxx.xx| xxxxx.xx| xx.xx| x| xx| + + +5.1 running perf_report.sh + +5.1.1 set JAVA_HOME to point to Java 1.5 and above +5.1.2 set QPID_TEST_HOME to point to the testkit dir +5.1.3 set VENDOR_LIB to point to the Qpid (or other JMS providers) jar files. +5.1.4 start a broker +5.1.5 update the testkit/etc/jndi.properties to point to the correct broker +5.1.6 execute perf_report.sh + + +6.0 Running the sample soak test report +--------------------------------------- +The testkit/bin contains soak_report.sh +It runs MultiThreadedProducer/Consumer for the duration specified and prints a report for the following stats. +Avg, Min and Max for System Throughput, letency, CPU and memory. + +6.1 running soak_report.sh + +5.1.1 set JAVA_HOME to point to Java 1.5 and above +5.1.2 set QPID_TEST_HOME to point to the testkit dir +5.1.3 set JAR_PATH to point to the Qpid jars +5.1.4 start a broker +5.1.5 execute soak_report.sh with correct params. + Ex sh soak_report.sh 1 36000 will run for 10 hours colllecting CPU, memory every second. + +5.1.6 Please note the total duration for the test is log_freq * log_iterations + So if you want to run the test for 10 hours and collect 10 second samples then do the following + sh soak_report.sh 10 3600 + |
