Crankier & Alone

Broken out fork of the ASP.NET Core's SignalR load testing tool 'Crankier' that's able to build and run stand-alone (i.e., without the rest of the ASP.NET Core build environment).

Original tool repository: https://github.com/dotnet/aspnetcore/tree/master/src/SignalR/perf/benchmarkapps/Crankier

Commands

server

The server command runs a web host exposing a single SignalR Hub endpoint on /echo. After the first client connection, the server will periodically write concurrent connection information to the console.

> dotnet run -- help server

Usage:  server [options]

Options:
  --log <LOG_LEVEL>                                     The LogLevel to use.
  --azure-signalr-connectionstring <CONNECTION_STRING>  Azure SignalR Connection string to use

Notes:

  • LOG_LEVEL switches internal logging only, not concurrent connection information, and defaults to LogLevel.None. Use this option to control Kestrel / SignalR Warnings & Errors being logged to console.

local

The local command launches a set of local worker clients to establish connections to your SignalR server.

> dotnet run -- help local

Usage:  local [options]

Options:
  --target-url <TARGET_URL>                   The URL to run the test against.
  --workers <WORKER_COUNT>                    The number of workers to use.
  --connections <CONNECTION_COUNT>            The number of connections per worker to use.
  --send-duration <SEND_DURATION_IN_SECONDS>  The send duration to use.
  --transport <TRANSPORT>                     The transport to use (defaults to WebSockets).
  --worker-debug                              Provide this switch to have the worker wait for the debugger.

Notes:

  • TARGET_URL needs to be the route to your hub exposed by UseSignalr in your application.
  • CONNECTION_COUNT defaults to 10,000.
  • SEND_DURATION_IN_SECONDS defaults to 300
  • WORKER_COUNT defaults to 1

Examples

Run the server:

dotnet run -- server

Run the server using Azure SignalR:

dotnet run -- server --azure-signalr-connectionstring Endpoint=https://your-url.service.signalr.net;AccessKey=yourAccessKey;Version=1.0;

Attempt to make 10,000 connections to the server using WebSockets and 10 workers:

dotnet run -- local --target-url https://localhost:5001/echo --workers 10

Attempt to make 5,000 connections to the server using Long Polling

dotnet run -- local --target-url https://localhost:5001/echo --connections 5000 --transport LongPolling
