Hi ALL
I am looking for tools to do a BBB load test. (like Jmeter for websites)
do you have any idea or a method to test BBB's load performance compared to the number of simultaneous users on a specific infrastructure ?

Thanks in Advance

Hi there,

The best way to do load testing (at the moment) is to get 10 people and have all of them join the session in 5 tabs, for example.  You can then monitor the server (using atop or other tools) to see how the load (cpu, memory, bandwidth) increases as users join.

Generally, you want to keep under 80% of the CPU.  

Regards,... Fred

Hi Fred

1+ Thank you . So just manuel load :)

2+ Do you think that the increase in the use of resources is linear compared to the number of simultaneous users?

3+ Regarding the BigBlueButton 1.1 version, is there a Zabbix or other connector to retrieve performance statistics or usage statistics?
thank you in advance

Bye

It's pretty linear in our experience.

Not that we know of, but perhaps someone has created something they would like to share.

You could also use the getMeetings API in BigBlueButton 2.0 to return all meetings and all users in one call, see http://docs.bigbluebutton.org/2.0/20overview.html#getmeetings.  With a bit of processing, you can create a count of all meetings and all users on your server.

Regards,... Fred
