KLoadGen is a Kafka load generator plugin for JMeter designed to work with AVRO and JSON schemas. It allows to send Kafka messages with a structure defined as an AVRO schema or a JSON schema. It connects to the Schema Registry server, retrieves the subject to send, and generates a random message every time.
You can learn more details on our wiki.
KLoadGen is a plugin based on Java that needs a JMeter machine running JRE 8 or higher.
