README
Websocket stress testing made beautiful
#### Hello!
This repository holds WSStat, a websocket monitoring and visualization tool written in Python 3.3+, using the great AsyncIO, Websocket, and Urwid libraries 😎 .
It aims to make diagnosing problems and understanding your websocket infrastructure easy and beautiful.
There are still a few edges and whatnot since it's fairly new, and some functionality doesn't exist (yet), but that's where I'm hoping the community can help.
#### I'm actively looking for feedback
The core of WSStat was written to be modular with extensibility in mind. Want a web API to gather statistics while it runs? How about a websocket server that pushes statistics from multiple workers to one place? Threshold based alerting? Slack integration? File a ticket and we'll kick it around!
It should go without saying, but pull requests are *absolutely* welcome!
#### Now, a demo
When you pass the `--demo` flag to WSStat, it will spin up an asynchronous websocket server on port `65432` point the websocket monitors to that server, allowing you to see functionality with a real websocket server.
#### Installation
Install from pip - `pip install wsstat`
**Note:** if you have python 2 and 3 installed on the same system, you have to use `pip3 install wsstat`!
The installation should be 100% straight forward and work fine. If that's not the case, please file a ticket!
Please note: WSStat currently only works on Python >= 3.3, and won't install on python 2.7, which is a known limitation.
#### Usage
Using wsstat is pretty straight forward, and it only has a few knobs (for now). If you want to try wsstat out and don't have a websocket infrastructure handy, you can just pass in `--demo` to have wsstat set up a server for you!
Other than that, you can adjust the total number of connected clients with `-n`, the number of simultaneous sockets trying to connect at once with `-c`, or pass in an arbitrary header (for things like authentication) with `-H`.
```
$ wsstat -h
usage: wsstat [-h] [-n TOTAL_CONNECTIONS] [-c MAX_CONNECTING_SOCKETS]
[-H HEADER] [--demo] [-i]
[websocket_url]
positional arguments:
websocket_url The websocket URL to hit
optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
-n TOTAL_CONNECTIONS, --num-clients TOTAL_CONNECTIONS
Number of clients to connect - default 250
-c MAX_CONNECTING_SOCKETS, --max-connects MAX_CONNECTING_SOCKETS
Number of connections attempted simultaneously -
default 15
-H HEADER, --header HEADER
Pass a custom header with each websocket connection
--demo Start a demo websocket server and point wsstat at it
-i, --insecure Don't validate SSL certificates on websocket servers
```
