performancetesting/load_generator_linux repository overview

⁠LoadRunner and Performance Center Load Generator Image

The images in the repository include a load generator component for LoadRunner and for Performance Center and all their prerequisites. Ubuntu 18.04 is the base image which helps you deploy a load generator container on Linux distributions.

⁠How to use this image:

• To run the load generator, use the following command (the container will run in the background): docker run -id -p <host_port>:54345 performancetesting/load_generator_linux:<tag version number>

• Alternatively you can start the container, and after it is running, set up the load generator environment variables and start the load generator manually inside the container. You can then switch to the host machine using Ctrl+P & Ctrl+Q. You can attach to the container at a later time. docker run -t -i -p <host_port>:54345 --entrypoint=/bin/bash performancetesting/load_generator_linux:<tag version number>

Notes:

• To avoid having the default NAT mode impact the load generator's network throughput, add the following command before the image name when starting a container: --net=host.
• The default port is 54345. You can specify a custom port through the user interface.
