MQTT benchmarking tool

A simple MQTT (broker) benchmarking tool.

Installation:

go install github.com/krylovsk/mqtt-benchmark@main

The tool supports multiple concurrent clients, configurable message size, etc:

$ ./mqtt-benchmark -h
Usage of ./mqtt-benchmark:
  -broker string
    	MQTT broker endpoint as scheme://host:port (default "tcp://localhost:1883")
  -broker-ca-cert string
    	Path to broker CA certificate in PEM format
  -client-cert string
    	Path to client certificate in PEM format
  -client-key string
    	Path to private clientKey in PEM format
  -client-prefix string
    	MQTT client id prefix (suffixed with '-<client-num>' (default "mqtt-benchmark")
  -clients int
    	Number of clients to start (default 10)
  -count int
    	Number of messages to send per client (default 100)
  -format string
    	Output format: text|json (default "text")
  -insecure
    	Skip TLS certificate verification
  -message-interval int
    	Time interval in seconds to publish message (default 1)
  -password string
    	MQTT client password (empty if auth disabled)
  -payload string
    	MQTT message payload. If empty, then payload is generated based on the size parameter
  -qos int
    	QoS for published messages (default 1)
  -quiet
    	Suppress logs while running
  -ramp-up-time int
    	Time in seconds to generate clients by default will not wait between load request
  -size int
    	Size of the messages payload (bytes) (default 100)
  -topic string
    	MQTT topic for outgoing messages (default "/test")
  -username string
    	MQTT client username (empty if auth disabled)
  -wait int
    	QoS 1 wait timeout in milliseconds (default 60000)

NOTE: if count=1 or clients=1, the sample standard deviation will be returned as 0 (convention due to the lack of NaN support in JSON)

Two output formats supported: human-readable plain text and JSON.

Example use and output:

> mqtt-benchmark --broker tcp://broker.local:1883 --count 100 --size 100 --clients 100 --qos 2 --format text
....
