Clobbermonster is a cli load testing tool for persistent AMQP (RabbitMQ) queues written in Golang.
This app is designed mostly to enable users to test/load test a queue consumer, some form of worker processes intended to read the data sent to the RabbitMQ AMQP queue, and perform additional processing on the data.
You can clone this repository and use it in a development capacity as you would any other Golang project, or you can download a prebuilt binary from the releases page, and run it that way. All that is required to use the binary is Golang v1.2.1 or later.
-f="~": Path of the directory containig the JSON messages to send to the queue
-i=1: The number of seconds to wait before sending messages per interval
-m=100: The number of messages to send per interval
-n="queue": The name of the persistent queue
-t=100000: The total number of messages to send to the queue
-u="amqp://guest:guest@localhost:5672/": AMQP Connection String
-P="guest": STOMP password
-T="test": STOMP topic (/topic/your_topic)
-U="guest": STOMP username
-p="amqp": use amqp or stomp protocol
-s="localhost": STOMP host
-v=0: log level for V logs
-vmodule=: comma-separated list of pattern=N settings for file-filtered logging
-alsologtostderr=false: log to standard error as well as files
-stderrthreshold=0: logs at or above this threshold go to stderr
-log_backtrace_at=:0: when logging hits line file:N, emit a stack trace
-log_dir="": If non-empty, write log files in this directory
-logtostderr=false: log to standard error instead of files
So, for example, the following:
clobbermonster -p amqp -u amqp://guest:guest@localhost:5672/ -n test_clobbermonster -t 5000 -m 20 -i 1 -f /home/user/my-json-files
will connect to an AMQP server on localhost, and then proceed to send 20 randomly selected messages from the directory /home/user/my-json-files (any number of files ending in .json) every 1 second to a queue named test_clobbermonster until 5000 messages have been sent.
And,
clobbermonster -p stomp -s localhost:61613 -U guest -P guest -T /topic/test_topic -n test_clobbermonster -t 5000 -m 20 -i 1 -f /home/user/my-json-files
does the same thing, but over STOMP instead of AMQP.
