Stress testing for java-tron's gRPC

lever

lever is a stress testing tool for java-tron.

How to use?

Run a private blockchain of java-tron

Read the Start Private Blockchain. Two accounts need to be reserved, one for initiating the transfer and one for receiving the transfer amount.

Jmeter

1. Install Jmeter.

lever

1. Generate jar and run test:

$ git clone https://github.com/tronprotocol/lever.git
$ cd lever
$ ./gradlew build
$ ./gradlew clean shadowJar -PmainClass=org.tron.program.RpcHunterSendCoin
$ cp build/libs/org.tron.program.RpcHunterSendCoin.jar jmeter/lib/ext/org.tron.program.RpcHunterSendCoin.jar
$ cp src/main/resources/jmeter-setting.jmx jmeter/bin/
$ cd jmeter/bin
$ ./jmeter -n -t /jmeter-setting.jmx -l test_result.jtl -e -o /resultReport

2. Configuration

2.1 config.conf

lever/src/main/resources/config.conf：

grpc.address = "127.0.0.1:50051" # target gRPC server address

2.2 jmeter-setting.jmx

lever/src/main/resources/jmeter-setting.jmx：

10 threads running for 1800 seconds：

  <ThreadGroup guiclass="ThreadGroupGui" testclass="ThreadGroup" testname="Thread Group" enabled="true">
    <stringProp name="ThreadGroup.on_sample_error">continue</stringProp>
    <elementProp name="ThreadGroup.main_controller" elementType="LoopController" guiclass="LoopControlPanel" testclass="LoopController" testname="Loop Controller" enabled="true">
      <boolProp name="LoopController.continue_forever">false</boolProp>
      <intProp name="LoopController.loops">-1</intProp>
    </elementProp>
    <stringProp name="ThreadGroup.num_threads">10</stringProp>
    <stringProp name="ThreadGroup.ramp_time">1</stringProp>
    <boolProp name="ThreadGroup.scheduler">true</boolProp>
    <stringProp name="ThreadGroup.duration">1800</stringProp>
    <stringProp name="ThreadGroup.delay"></stringProp>
  </ThreadGroup>

Transaction arguments(put your arguments: Argument.value to this file):

<JavaSampler guiclass="JavaTestSamplerGui" testclass="JavaSampler" testname="Java Request" enabled="true">
  <elementProp name="arguments" elementType="Arguments" guiclass="ArgumentsPanel" testclass="Arguments" enabled="true">
    <collectionProp name="Arguments.arguments">
      <elementProp name="toAddress" elementType="Argument">
        <stringProp name="Argument.name">toAddress</stringProp>
        <stringProp name="Argument.value">27d3byPxZXKQWfXX7sJvemJJuv5M65F3vjS</stringProp>
        <stringProp name="Argument.metadata">=</stringProp>
      </elementProp>
      <elementProp name="amount" elementType="Argument">
        <stringProp name="Argument.name">amount</stringProp>
        <stringProp name="Argument.value">1</stringProp>
        <stringProp name="Argument.metadata">=</stringProp>
      </elementProp>
      <elementProp name="privateKey" elementType="Argument">
        <stringProp name="Argument.name">privateKey</stringProp>
        <stringProp name="Argument.value">effa55b420a2fe39e3f73d14b8c46824fd0d5ee210840b9c27b2e2f42a09f1f9</stringProp>
        <stringProp name="Argument.metadata">=</stringProp>
      </elementProp>
    </collectionProp>
  </elementProp>
  <stringProp name="classname">org.tron.program.RpcHunterSendCoin</stringProp>
</JavaSampler>

Throughout setting(60/s):

<ConstantThroughputTimer guiclass="TestBeanGUI" testclass="ConstantThroughputTimer" testname="Constant Throughput Timer" enabled="true">
  <doubleProp>
    <name>throughput</name>
    <value>60.0</value>
    <savedValue>0.0</savedValue>
  </doubleProp>
  <intProp name="calcMode">1</intProp>
</ConstantThroughputTimer>

You can use generate-account-tool to generate your account and put it to java-tron's config.conf: genesis.block.assets, genesis.block.witnesses, localwitness
