smartbear/ready-api-loadui-agent repository overview

⁠LoadUI Agent Repository

This repository contains a Docker image with LoadUI Agent⁠ installed.
You use the Agent to run distributed load tests with ReadyAPI LoadUI⁠ – a load testing and distributed testing tool by SmartBear⁠.
To create and run these tests in ReadyAPI, you need a LoadUI Pro license⁠.

⁠Quick Start

⁠1. Run this Docker image

docker run -p 1991:1991 smartbear/ready-api-loadui-agent

This will start the LoadUI Agent. The container should have the 1991 port opened so that LoadUI can access the Agent.

⁠2. Create and run a load test in ReadyAPI

To create a load test:

• In ReadyAPI, switch to the LoadUI > Distribution tab.

• Add a new agent. In the Add Agent dialog, select the New Agent option and specify the IP address or host name of the computer running the container.

• Add scenarios to the agent.

• Select the Run Scenarios on agents run mode for your load test and start it.

See a step-by step guide⁠ in ReadyAPI documentation.

⁠Important:

• LoadUI does not automatically detect agents running in Docker containers. You will need to specify the IP address of these computers manually (see above).

• The CPU and Used memory metrics that LoadUI displays for the agents will show data for the Docker container, not for the computer running the container.
