Hi all,

Not really (specifically) a Solace thing, but wondering if anyone out there has done any performance testing with Logstash, using either the JMS plugins or other (MQTT Beats?). I’m looking for any ballpark ideas on throughput, performance of the Logstash VM, etc. And if you’ve done any load testing, how did you drive the load? I’ve seen the `Generator` input plugin, but that’s not built for load testing.

Thanks!

Hey Aaron, were you able to achieve this in the end ? If yes, are you able to share the solution ? I am in the same boat and my Logstash infra is sitting on some ec2 instances …  
Thank you
