Configuring Gatling

Setting up and using Gatling with Flood Agent

‌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.
Note that flood-gatling minimally modifies your Gatling installation. You may wish to take a copy of $GATLING_HOME before adding flood-gatling
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
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
