Load Testing of Logstash

viratag26 · June 3, 2019, 11:31am

HI Everyone
I want to test how many clients(similar) can my currently setup Logstash server handle.
I need to increase the number of servers on which filebeat agent will be installed which will be sending data at a constant rate to the Logstash.
How can I determine the number of agents it can consume data from without failing. Please suggest any testing tool or API to simulate load on Logstash.

Hello.
Have a look on: https://github.com/elastic/logstash/tree/master/tools/benchmark-cli

This benchmark tool doesn't allows me to simulate load on logstash pipeline. Please suggest how to to that and test breakpoint of my Logstash server.

I know about two options:

Enable monitoring for your logstash and monitor the performance in Kibana.
