Performance Test Suite for JMX Performance

This is a simple Webapplication which exposes a Jolokia agent under context root /jolokia/ and registers an MBean for performing performance measurements on the JMX subsystem

Available Test

All test are realized as operations on the MBean jolokia:type=Performance,name=PerformanceTest":

• testReadAllAttributes() : Query all MBean and read all their attributes (the same way as jmx_exporter does it currently). This will export the following metrics via these MBeans:

  • metrics:name=jmx.attributes.time.mbean Time stats for reading all attributes of a specific MBean
  • metrics:name=jmx.attributes.time.query Time stats for querying all MBeans
  • metrics:name=jmx.attributes.time.read Time stats for reading all attributes of all MBeans
  • metrics:name=jmx.attributes.time.total Total time stats

You can access these MBeans easily wither with jconsole or with an Jolokia client like hawtio or j4psh.

Testing it with Wildfly 8.2.0 Final

In order to easily run the test with a real world server, a setup with the official Wildfly Docker image has been provided. To start up the docker container:

mvn -Pwildfly install docker:build docker:start -Ddocker.follow

You need Docker installed and the environment variable Docker Host must be set. This command will start a container which exposes port 8080 on the Docker host (localhost or, if using boot2docker or so, the IP of the boot2docker VM)
