Kmesh Performance

Observability Integrations​

Kmesh provides comprehensive monitoring capabilities through integration with industry-standard observability platforms:

  • Prometheus: Collects and stores metrics for Kmesh performance and operations
  • Grafana: Visualizes Kmesh metrics through customizable dashboards
  • Jaeger: Enables distributed tracing to analyze service mesh traffic patterns

These integrations help monitor Kmesh's performance metrics, resource consumption, and traffic patterns in real-time.

How We Test​

Testing Tools​

Kmesh uses two main testing tools:

  • Fortio: A microservice load testing tool that measures:
    • Latency (TP90, TP99)
    • Throughput (QPS)
  • Dstat: A system monitoring tool that tracks CPU usage during tests

Test Method​

Test a group of fortio performance data by using the number of concurrent connections as a variable parameter, and collect the CPU usage during the test. The test script has been archived.

Running the Tests​

#Preparing the test environment
[root@perf]# ./fortio_perf.sh
# Generate a CSV table of test results in the directory.
[root@perf]# ll
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 6.1K Nov 5 17:39 fortio_perf_test.csv
