Getting Started on Windows
Follow these steps to start using Flood Agent on Windows
Download and Install
The guide shows you how to run ad-hoc instances, suitable for exploration & prototyping floods. For production-scale installations see Running with NSSM (Windows).
Download
Grab the latest binary from the Flood Agent Releases page. We recommend downloading the agent into its own directory.
Download: flood-agent v1.0 64bit for Windows
For the guide, let's assume you've chosen to use c:\flood-agent
:
In the guide we refer toflood-agent.exe
but when you download it the file name will look like flood-agent-v1.0-windows-64bit.exe
.
The actual name of the binary doesn't matter, so please either rename the binary to flood-agent.exe
or substitute the filename given in the examples.
In the console, to run a binary from the current directory, don't forget the .\
For example, to run Flood Agent it would be.\flood-agent.exe
Preparing the load generator
To start running load tests with Flood Agent, you must first prepare the load generator.
On Windows we support JMeter and Gatling, either by adding a Flood plugin to your existing installation, or by using one of our pre-built bundles.
