# Gatling-Kafka ![](https://github.com/mnogu/gatling-kafka/workflows/Scala%20CI/badge.svg)

An unofficial [Gatling](http://gatling.io/) 3.3.1 stress test plugin
for [Apache Kafka](http://kafka.apache.org/) 2.4.0 protocol.

This plugin supports the Kafka producer API only
and doesn't support the Kafka consumer API.

## Usage

### Cloning this repository

$ git clone https://github.com/mnogu/gatling-kafka.git
$ cd gatling-kafka

### Creating a jar file

Install [sbt](http://www.scala-sbt.org/) 0.13 if you don't have.
And create a jar file:

$ sbt assembly

If you want to change the version of Gatling used to create a jar file,
change the following line in [`build.sbt`](build.sbt):

```scala
"io.gatling" % "gatling-core" % "3.3.1" % "provided",
```

and run `sbt assembly`.

If you don't want to include kafka-clients library to the jar file,
change a line on kafka-clients in [`build.sbt`](build.sbt) from

```scala
("org.apache.kafka" % "kafka-clients" % "2.4.0")
```

to

```scala
("org.apache.kafka" % "kafka-clients" % "2.4.0" % "provided")
```

and run `sbt assembly`.

### Putting the jar file to lib directory

Put the jar file to `lib` directory in Gatling:

$ cp target/scala-2.12/gatling-kafka-assembly-*.jar /path/to/gatling-charts-highcharts-bundle-3.3.1.*/lib

If you edited `build.sbt` in order not to include kafka-clients library
to the jar file, you also need to copy kafka-clients library to `lib` directory:

$ cp /path/to/kafka-clients-*.jar /path/to/gatling-charts-highcharts-bundle-3.3.1.*/lib

### Creating a simulation file

$ cd /path/to/gatling-charts-highcharts-bundle-3.3.1.*
$ vi user-files/simulations/KafkaSimulation.scala

You can find sample simulation files in the [test directory](src/test/scala/com/github/mnogu/gatling/kafka/test).
Among these files, [BasicSimulation.scala](src/test/scala/com/github/mnogu/gatling/kafka/test/BasicSimulation.scala) would be a good start point.
Make sure that you replace `BasicSimulation` with `KafkaSimulation` in `BasicSimulation.scala`
if your simulation filename is `KafkaSimulation.scala`.

Note that gatling-kafka 0.1.x isn't compatible with 0.0.x.
See the [README.md in the 0.0.6 release](https://github.com/mnogu/gatling-kafka/blob/0.0.6/README.md)
if you are using 0.0.x.

### Running a stress test

After starting an Apache Kafka server, run a stress test:

$ bin/gatling.sh
