Tutorial on building a JMeter+Grafana+influxdb visual performance monitoring platform in docker environment

I deployed it on Ubuntu.

1. Install Docker

Since the docker version in the apt official library may be older, uninstall the possible old version first:

sudo apt-get remove docker docker-engine docker-ce docker.io

Update the apt package index:

sudo apt-get update

Install the following packages to enable apt to use the repository over HTTPS:

sudo apt-get install -y apt-transport-https ca-certificates curl software-properties-common

Add the official Docker GPG key:

curl -fsSL https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu/gpg | sudo apt-key add -

Use the following command to set up the stable repository:

sudo add-apt-repository "deb [arch=amd64] https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu $(lsb_release -cs) stable"

Update the apt package index again:

sudo apt-get update

Install the latest version of Docker CE:

sudo apt-get install -y docker-ce

Check whether Docker is installed:

docker --version

When the docker version is prompted, it means that docker has been installed successfully.

2. Install and configure influxDB

2.1 Install influxDB under Docker View and pull the image

##View the image docker search influx 
 
## Pull the image according to the image name docker pull tutum/influxdb

Run the image and generate a container

## -d runs the service in the background. The command exits but the program continues to run. docker run -d --name jmeter-influx -p 8086:8086 tutum/influxdb

--name jmeter-influx: specifies the name of the generated container as jmeter-influx. You can name it according to your own needs.

-p 8086:8086: specifies port mapping, host port: container port

tutum/influxdb: image name, you can name it according to your own situation

Check whether the container is generated successfully

## Check if the image is successfully installed docker images 
 
## Check whether the container is started successfully docker ps 
 
## View all started containers, including successful and failed docker ps -a 

The browser can access the address: http://xxx.x.xxx.xxx:8086/, the address is the server ip + mapped address

The page prompts 404, but it is not inaccessible.

2.2 Create a database

##Enter the Docker container of Influxdb docker exec -it container id /bin/bash 
 
##Open Influx 
influx 
 
##View the database and create the jmeter database show databases; 
create database jmeter; 
show databases; 
use jmeter; 
select * from jmeter; 
exit; 

3. Grafana installation and configuration

3.1 Install grafana in docker View and pull the image

##View the image docker search grafana 
 
## Pull the image according to the image name docker pull grafana/grafana

Run the image and generate a container

## Run the image and generate a container run -d --name my_grafana -p 3000:3000 grafana/grafana

3.2 Configuring influxDB in Grafana

The browser accesses the URL http://ip:port, and the login username and password are both admin

After successfully logging in, add a data source. Here we choose influxDB. I have successfully created a data source named influxDB_demo

Configure the jmeter database information of the influxDB we created earlier and test whether the connection is successful

At this point, the data source configuration is successful. I already have one, so I deleted this one.

3.3 Grafana creates a dashboard using a template

After configuring the influxdb data source, you can get the test data. Now you need to display the acquired data, which is also the role of grafana graphics.

Download the dashboard template corresponding to jmeter from the official website

Download address: https://grafana.com/grafana/dashboards

Select influxDB from the left and right Data Sources, then search for jmeter by name to see the required plugin.

Import template in grafana

+ sign --> import --> upload JSON file --> select the downloaded jmeter plug-in and configure the relevant information

name: The name of the dashboard, you can define it yourself

Folder: Folder directory, that is, the directory where this dashboard is saved; the default is OK

DB name: the influxdb data source configured earlier

Measurement name: influxDB database name

Backend send interval: interval time

After configuring the information, click [import] to see the dashboard page.

4. Jmeter configuration and stress testing an interface

Configure a backend listener in an interface of a jmeter test

Configure this listener

Backend Listener implementation: The backend listener implementation selects the one with influxdb

influxdbUrl: Change the IP, port, and database name to the IP and port of influxdb, as well as the name of the corresponding database.

After running this interface in jmeter, check the data in the corresponding dashboard in grafana
