Description

Prometheus and Grafana are widely used as a monitoring solution on Kubernetes clusters. For some reason though, load testing is far distant from already implemented tools and is often run on separate machines and not using the aforementioned monitoring stack as a reporting system. The idea presented here uses Locust load test results as a Prometheus metrics’ source to graph load test results against cluster resource consumption in Grafana. The whole tutorial is based on Docker Compose and can easily be run on any machine with Docker.
