[Opensim-users] Load Testing OpenSim

[Dirk Krause]

yes, one can do that. 

 

But I thought we were speaking more about a load testing a particular server architecture (like ReactionGrid).

We also need a pre defined region with  textures, objects (physical/non) and scripts running (just like a normal scenario), a 'default' oar will work I think

yes, this absolutely is one way to go.

we successfully experimented with
- ec2 linux instances sporting the hippo viewer
- streaming the hippo window output as a .flv source
- emulating keystrokes to the hippo viewer to move the avatar

all in all this makes a fully qualified client that hits the OpenSimulator as hard as a real client does, still it is scriptable in a limited way. and it would be perfectly scalable via the cloud.

I haven't much dug into that, but it seems to me that a scalable cloud
infra should be perfect for what you describe : large numbers of
clients for a limited time, *real* different ips,...
1 loader script piloting 'on the fly' created ec2/whaterver client
instances, only for the time they're needed. Even for large load
tests, the overall cost should noy go beyond a few dollars.

> Testing the load of a large number of clients requires a lot of infrastructure -- multiple client systems and a lot of networking. That makes stress testing difficult to set up and to create a portable, automated stress tester.
