‌Installation

All in one bundle

The simplest way to run Gatling is to use our all in one bundle.

• install Java JRE 8+

• download the latest bundle: flood-gatling-bundle-3.3.1.zip.

• unzip the bundle to e.g. ~/flood-gatling

Flood Gatling Plugin

If you already have Gatling installed, you only need to add the Flood Gatling Plugin jars to start testing with Flood.

• download the latest flood-gatling zip: flood-gatling-jars-3.3.1.zip​

• unzip & move the jars into $GATLING_HOME/lib

• edit $GATLING_HOME/conf/gatling.conf

gatling {
  ...  
  data {
    writers = [file, flood] # add flood to the list of writers
  }
}

Agent Configuration

‌The next step is to configure your config.yaml file to tell the Flood Agent to use this Gatling installation specifically.

The minimal configuration used for this is:

tools:  
   gatling:    
      gatling_home: /path/to/gatling

Using Docker (linux & macOS only)

For Gatling (and all supported tools) - there is the option to use our actual Flood Docker image if you do not wish to setup a local native tool binary install. Simply use the following properties in your config.yaml to let Flood know that you wish to use Flood's docker container for the respective load test tool instead of your own.

tools:    
   flood-element: true    
   gatling: true    
   jmeter: true
