Synopsis
Jmeter is a load generation tool. This salt formula can be used to install it and execute a jmx test file on jmeter.
Usage Example
There are 2 states:
Use the jmeter.install state to install Java, Jmeter, and the Mysql JDBC driver required into the jmeter/lib directory (to be expanded to generic plugins in the future).
salt minion state.apply jmeter.install
This will pick up the file specified as part of the pillar at "jmeter:execute:lookup:jmx_template_file"; apply a jinja template (if needed), and run jmeter on that file. CLI arguments can be specified via the "jmeter:execute:lookup:cmd_cli_args" pillar. Look at the other options in the jmeter-formula/jmeter/map.jinja file.
salt minion state.apply jmeter.execute
