How to install Real Load

1: Ubuntu 16/18/20 Measuring Agent manual install
2: Ubuntu 16/18/20 Cluster Controller manual install
3: Ubuntu 16/18/20 Portal Server manual install
4: Ubuntu 16/18/20 Remote Proxy Recorder manual install
5: Centos 8 Portal Server manual install

Usually you just need a Portal Server account and to install the “Desktop Companion” on your laptop which enables you to record and upload HTTP/S sessions and to launch Measuring Agents on Amazon EC2. You don’t need a special installation license for the Desktop Companion. However, user licenses are required for using the Portal Server and to perform tests on Measuring Agents - see https://shop.realload.com/.

The Real Load components Measuring Agent(s), Cluster Controller(s) and Remote Proxy Recorder(s) can also installed/operated on your own hosted machines.

The installation and operation of an own dedicated Portal Server requires a contract with us and a special, commercial license.

The software can be downloaded from https://download.realload.com

Prerequisites

Supported operating systems / for all Real Load components

Windows 10 / Windows Server 2012 or newer.
Centos 8
Red Hat Linux 6
Ubuntu 16, 18 or 20
OS X

Installation

Install using the installer

Desktop Companion Windows installer: https://download.realload.com/desktop_companion/latest_win64

Manual installation

Follow the links below to perform a manual installation.

1 - Ubuntu 16/18/20 Measuring Agent manual install

Ubuntu 16/18/20 Measuring Agent Install Instructions

Prerequisites

Supported Hardware

Amazon EC2 Cloud instances, or
Own hosted Servers with any Intel or AMD CPU, or
Own hosted Raspberry Pi 4 Model B / 8 GB (ARM CPU) / Ubuntu 20 only / for weak load tests up to max. 100 concurrent users (with loop iteration delay = 1000 ms)

Minimum Requirements

Minimum required CPU Cores of Processor: 4
Minimum required Memory: 8 GB
Minimum required Disk: 64 GB
Minimum required Network Speed: 100 Mbps (1000 Mbps or faster strongly recommended)

Usual Requirements

Suggested Hardware for performing load tests up to 500 concurrent users: Intel CPU i3 / 16 GB Memory / Disk: 256 GB
Suggested Hardware for performing load tests up to 1000 concurrent users: Intel CPU i5 / 16 GB Memory / Disk: 512 GB
Suggested Hardware for performing load tests up to 5000 concurrent users: Intel CPU i7 / 64 GB Memory / Disk: 1024 GB

Rule of Thumb for Amazon EC2 Instances

Per EC2 vCPU, 100 virtual users can simulated
Required Memory: 5 GB + (1 GB per 100 virtual users)

Environment and Location

Tests performed from ‘Measuring Agents’ which are virtualized or which run in a container environment measure often incorrect results. Because additional CPU and Network delays occur at virtualization/container level. It’s recommended that you use BARE-METAL-SERVERS to perform your tests. Alternatively you can also use Amazon EC2 Cloud instances.

You can place your ‘Measuring Agents’ at any location (anywhere at the internet or inside your local DMZ). Depending on which kind of traffic you have to test. Note that your Measuring Agents - usually running on TCP/IP port 8080 (HTTPS) - must be reachable form the ‘Portal Server’, and that you have to enable the corresponding inbound firewall rule.

Network & System Tuning

In /etc/sysctl.conf add:

# TCP/IP Tuning
# =============
fs.file-max = 524288
net.ipv4.tcp_max_syn_backlog = 2048
net.ipv4.tcp_synack_retries = 3
net.ipv4.tcp_max_orphans = 65536
net.ipv4.tcp_fin_timeout = 30
net.ipv4.ip_local_port_range = 16384 60999
net.core.somaxconn = 256
net.core.rmem_max = 1048576
net.core.wmem_max = 1048576

in /etc/security/limits.conf add:

# TCP/IP Tuning
# =============
* soft     nproc          262140
* hard     nproc          262140
* soft     nofile         262140
* hard     nofile         262140
root soft     nproc          262140
root hard     nproc          262140
root soft     nofile         262140
root hard     nofile         262140

Enter: systemctl show -p TasksMax user-0

output: TasksMax=8966

if you get a value less than 262140 then add in /etc/systemd/system.conf

# Ubuntu Tuning
# =============
DefaultTasksMax=262140

Reboot the system and verify the settings. Enter: ulimit -n

output: 262140

Enter: systemctl show -p TasksMax user-0

output: TasksMax=262140

2 - Ubuntu 16/18/20 Cluster Controller manual install

Ubuntu 16/18/20 Cluster Controller Install Instructions

Prerequisites

Supported Hardware

Amazon EC2 Cloud instance, or
Own hosted server with any Intel or AMD CPU

Minimum Requirements

Minimum required CPU Cores of Processor: 2
Minimum required Memory: 8 GB
Minimum required Disk: 64 GB
Minimum required Network Speed: 100 Mbps (1000 Mbps or faster strongly recommended)

Environment and Location

In terms of network technology, the cluster controller should be as close as possible to the cluster members.

The simultaneous operation of a cluster controller together with one or more measuring agents on the same machine is possible, although not recommended. This means that the cluster controller should be operated on its own machine - especially if a cluster contains more than 100 members.

The time difference of the operating system time between the cluster controller and the cluster members must not be greater than one second (1000 ms). It is recommended to use the same time server for the cluster controller and the cluster members.

The Portal Server supports the use of multiple cluster controllers. Each cluster controller can manage multiple clusters. And each measuring agent can be a member of multiple clusters.

Network & System Tuning

In /etc/sysctl.conf add:

# TCP/IP Tuning
# =============
fs.file-max = 524288
net.ipv4.tcp_max_syn_backlog = 2048

net.core.somaxconn = 256
net.core.rmem_max = 1048576
net.core.wmem_max = 1048576

in /etc/security/limits.conf add:

3 - Ubuntu 16/18/20 Portal Server manual install

Ubuntu 16/18/20 Portal Server Install Instructions

Prerequisites

Supported Hardware

Amazon EC2 Cloud instances
Own hosted Servers with any Intel or AMD CPU

Minimum Hardware Requirements

Minimum required CPU Cores of Processor: 4
Minimum required RAM: 16 GB
Minimum required Disk: 512 GB
Minimum required Network Speed: 1000 Mbps

Email Server

The Portal Server sends its emails via SMTP. You need an email server which receive and forward these SMTP messages.

Twilio SMS Gateway

If the Portal Server will be operated/configured in such a way that any person can “sign up” (= self registration) you need a customer account for the Twilio SMS Gateway www.twilio.com/docs/sms

Note

You can add new portal users also directly from the Administrator Menu. In such a case an SMS gateway is not required.

Network & System Tuning

In /etc/sysctl.conf add:

# TCP/IP Tuning
# =============
fs.file-max = 524288
net.ipv4.tcp_max_syn_backlog = 2048
net.ipv4.tcp_synack_retries = 3
net.ipv4.tcp_max_orphans = 65536
net.ipv4.tcp_fin_timeout = 30
net.ipv4.ip_local_port_range = 16384 60999
net.core.somaxconn = 256
net.core.rmem_max = 1048576
net.core.wmem_max = 1048576

In /etc/security/limits.conf add:

# TCP/IP Tuning
# =============
* soft     nproc          262140
* hard     nproc          262140
* soft     nofile         262140
* hard     nofile         262140
root soft     nproc          262140
root hard     nproc          262140
root soft     nofile         262140
root hard     nofile         262140

Enter: systemctl show -p TasksMax user-0

output: TasksMax=8966

if you get a value less than 262140 then add in /etc/systemd/system.conf

# Ubuntu Tuning
# =============
DefaultTasksMax=262140

Reboot the system and verify the settings. Enter: ulimit -n

output: 262140

Enter: systemctl show -p TasksMax user-0

output: TasksMax=262140

Forward the external TCP/IP server port 80 (HTTP) to port 8000, and forward external port 443 (HTTPS) to port 8001

Create/edit the file DKFQSiptables in /etc/network/if-pre-up.d/ and add:

#!/bin/sh
iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp --dport 80 -j REDIRECT --to-port 8000
iptables -t nat -I OUTPUT -p tcp -d 127.0.0.1 --dport 80 -j REDIRECT --to-ports 8000
iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp --dport 443 -j REDIRECT --to-port 8001
iptables -t nat -I OUTPUT -p tcp -d 127.0.0.1 --dport 443 -j REDIRECT --to-ports 8001
exit 0

Then give execute permission to /etc/network/if-pre-up.d/DKFQSiptables : sudo chmod 755 /etc/network/if-pre-up.d/DKFQSiptables

Reboot the machine and check with:

sudo iptables -L -t nat

Replace the SSL Server Certificate

If you or your company can already issue SSL server certificates you can skip the next sub-chapter. Continue in such a case with “Convert and Install the SSL Server Certificate”.

Get a Let's Encrypt SSL Server Certificate | Ubuntu 20

Make sure that your portal server has a public, valid DNS name.

Install certbot:

sudo snap install --classic certbot
sudo ln -s /snap/bin/certbot /usr/bin/certbot

Stop the Portal Server:

sudo /etc/init.d/DKFQS stop

To get the SSL server certificate enter:

sudo certbot certonly --standalone   # enter your email address and the DNS name ou your portal server, follow the instructions

On success certbot generates the following two files:

fullchain.pem
privkey.pem

Start the Portal Server:

sudo /etc/init.d/DKFQS start

Convert and Install the SSL Server Certificate

Become root and navigate to the directory where the fullchain.pem and privkey.pem files are located. Enter:

sudo bash
openssl pkcs12 -export -in fullchain.pem -inkey privkey.pem -out your-certificate-name.p12  # convert cert to PKCS12 file
keytool -importkeystore -srckeystore your-certificate-name.p12 -srcstoretype PKCS12 -destkeystore your-certificate-name.jks -deststoretype JKS  # convert PKCS12 file to Java keystore file

Copy the Java keystore file to /home/dkfqs/portal/jks

cp your-certificate-name.jks /home/dkfqs/portal/jks

Edit /home/dkfqs/portal/config/dkfqs.properties and replace:

HTTPSKeyStoreFile=/home/dkfqs/portal/jks/your-certificate-name.jks
HTTPSKeyStorePassword=*********

Restart the Portal Server

sudo /etc/init.d/DKFQS stop
sudo /etc/init.d/DKFQS start

Create a Cron Job to Renew the Let's Encrypt SSL Certificate

Create at your home directory the sub-directory system_cronjobs_scripts and add/edit the file “DKFQS_certbot_renew” in this directory. Replace the ********* placeholders with your real values.

Generate the Certificate Authority (CA) Root Certificate

For technical reasons, the Remote Proxy Recorder generates “fake” web server certificates during operation in order to break the encryption between the web browser and the web servers and to record the data exchanged.

In order for this to work, the Remote Proxy Recorder needs its own CA root certificate, which you then have to import into your browser.

Thus for security reasons, never use a CA root certificate from us or someone else for the Remote Proxy Recorder root certificate. Always create your own CA root certificate.

Example:

C:\Scratch2>openssl genrsa -des3 -out myCAPrivate.key 2048
Generating RSA private key, 2048 bit long modulus
.......................+++
.............................+++
unable to write 'random state'
e is 65537 (0x10001)
Enter pass phrase for myCAPrivate.key:
Verifying - Enter pass phrase for myCAPrivate.key:

C:\Scratch2>openssl pkcs8 -topk8 -inform PEM -outform PEM -in myCAPrivate.key -out myCAPrivateKey.pem -nocrypt
Enter pass phrase for myCAPrivate.key:

C:\Scratch2>openssl req -x509 -new -nodes -key myCAPrivate.key -sha256 -days 3700 -out myCARootCert.pem
Enter pass phrase for myCAPrivate.key:
You are about to be asked to enter information that will be incorporated
