Pepper-Box is kafka load generator plugin for jmeter. It produces kafka messages of type plain text (JSON, XML, CSV or any other custom format) as well as java serialized objects.
Again in preliminary testing (see #2 ) I discovered the tests fail if the default security protocol is altered to SASL_SSL (done in part to cope with some problems found and reported in the upstream project in https://github.com/GSLabDev/pepper-box/issues/6
"_But when i save the test plan or replay, added parameter (sasl.mechanism) gets deleted automatically."
where I'd altered the default value. This issue is to track a workaround rather than writing full tests that test the SASL_SSL functionality. That's well worth doing at some point, perhaps by someone who has a more complete understanding of how to programatically configure the Kafka nodes to use these security features? I may be that person if I learn enough.
