k6-kibana-benchmarking

Space time benchmarking project with k6 tool

Adding new tests

• The test code is located in src folder
• The entry points for the tests need to have "test" word in the name to distinguish them from auxiliary files.

Running tests

Prerequisites

• Make sure Kibana is running and eCommerce sample data is loaded

Directly with k6

• Install dependencies and transpile typescript code into JS and bundle the project: make build
• Run your test:
  • using kibana.json in assets folder: k6 run -e USE_KIBANA_JSON=1 dist/login_test.js
  • by passing values directly: k6 run -e KIBANA_USERNAME=elastic -e KIBANA_PASSWORD=changeme -e KIBANA_URL="http://localhost:5620" -e KIBANA_VERSION=8.3.0 dist/login_test.js

Running tests directly with k6

• Ensure that Vault is properly setup
• Ensure that Go 1.17 or better is installed and GOPATH is on your path (add export PATH=$PATH:$(go env GOPATH)/bin to ~/.profile or ~/.zprofile).
• Run your test:
  • Running all load tests: ./k6.sh
  • Running only a specific test: ./k6.sh login_test. Note that the test name must be passed without any file extension (i.e. pass login_test but not login_test.ts).

The file assets/kibana.json defines the connection parameters to Kibana.
