Setting Up an Eggplant Performance Injector on Linux

The following instructions describe how to set up and run injectors on Linux systems without the a full Eggplant Performance installation. The instructions are divided into the following tasks:

Step by Step: Install the Injector

  1. Verify that the machine on which you want to install the injector meets the system requirements as described in Injector Installation.
  2. Download the latest Eggplant Performance Injector (Linux) installer from the Eggplant website:

    unzip eggPlantPerformanceLinuxInjector<version>.zip

  3. Unzip the downloaded .zip file.

  4. Using a user with root privileges, run install.sh inside the unzipped directory:

    . ./install.sh

    Note:You must be running as a user with root privileges to run install.sh, because it creates directories in /opt and /var.

Running the Injector

  1. Run runinjector.sh inside the bin folder in the unzipped directory:

    . ./runinjector.sh

    You do not need a user with root privileges to run the injector.

  2. Specify the port on which you want the injector to listen for connections from the Test Controller machine by passing it as a parameter to runinjector.sh as shown with port 39001 in the sample screen below:

    . ./runinjector.sh <port>

    Where <port> is the port on which you want the injector to listen.

Injector logs are written to /var/log/eggPlantPerformance:

  • injector.log
  • runinjector.out - extra output from nohup if runinjector.sh is run with the -b (background) option
