MQTT Stresser

Load testing tool to stress MQTT message broker

Build

You need at least golang version 1.12 to build the binaries.

$ mkdir -p ${GOPATH}/src/github.com/inovex/
$ git clone https://github.com/inovex/mqtt-stresser.git ${GOPATH}/src/github.com/inovex/mqtt-stresser/
$ cd ${GOPATH}/src/github.com/inovex/mqtt-stresser/
$ make

This will build the mqtt stresser for all target platforms and write them to the build/ directory. Binaries are provided on Github, see https://github.com/inovex/mqtt-stresser.

If you want to build your own Docker image, simply type make container or see Makefile for further docker build details.

Install

Place the binary somewhere in a $PATH directory and make it executable (chmod +x mqtt-stresser).

Configure

See mqtt-stresser -h for a list of available arguments.

Run

Simple hello-world test using the public broker.mqttdashboard.com broker: (please don't DDoS them :))
