Load Testing Conjur

The load test of the Conjur server is done using the Python script loadtest.py. The script uses the requests library to make HTTP requests to the Conjur server. The script is designed to simulate a large number of clients making requests to the Conjur server at the same time. The script can be used to test the performance of the Conjur server under load.

Installation

The script requires Python 3.9 or later. Run the following command to install the required Python packages:

pip install -r requirements.txt

Usage

Usage of the Python loadtest.py (or run python loadtest.py –help):

Example:

python loadtest.py --concurrency=250 --base-url=https://conjur.url --user-name=test --secret-id=test-path --account=organizationxyz [–-api-key=abc123]

Or with short options:

python loadtest.py -c 250 -b https://conjur.url -u test -s test-path -a organizationxyz [-k abc123]

Example output:

Finished 250 requests. Average response time: 0.9126874418258667
Finished 250 requests. Average response time: 0.974892149925232

Important notes:

  • #1: We highly recommend creating a test branch with a test user, host, and secrets to test the load on your Conjur environment.
  • #2: Ensure you rotate the API key after testing.
  • #3: This load test generates a significant amount of logging. Make sure your Conjur logging settings are properly configured.
