Question

Looking for some help running pulsar perf I ve gone on to one of our broker instances and run ` bin pulsar perf produce test topic` and it just hangs where i m expecting to see console output Does anyone have any suggestions Adding ` a lt token gt ` doesn t seem to help either

Alexander Preuß · Answer

I suppose you have authentication enabled right In that case what `authenticationProviders` are registered in the `broker conf`

Thomas Turner · Answer

Yeah `pulsar admin` works just fine for example without specifying the provider or token

Thomas Turner · Answer

I ll just check whats registered

Thomas Turner · Answer

``` Authentication provider name list which is comma separated list of class names authenticationProviders=org apache pulsar broker authentication AuthenticationProviderToken```

Alexander Preuß · Answer

Does it work using `pulsar client produce` The `pulsar admin` goes against a different endpoint so it s not comparable

Alexander Preuß · Answer

Ah so it s using token authentication You should be able to make it work using the following ``` bin pulsar perf produce auth plugin org apache pulsar client impl auth AuthenticationToken auth params token lt YOUR TOKEN gt test topic```

Thomas Turner · Answer

So ` pulsar client produce test topic m tesT ` this seemed to work as `test topic` has been created

Thomas Turner · Answer

just trying your suggestion now

Thomas Turner · Answer

It still seems to hang not sure how long its expected to take to start up

Alexander Preuß · Answer

Weird it should start immediately giving some info logs about its config

Thomas Turner · Answer

Yeah i m not sure what else to try

Alexander Preuß · Answer

Is there still sufficient memory available on the broker

Thomas Turner · Answer

i ve got about 1gb free

Thomas Turner · Answer

i tried that `exit on failure` flag too but no luck there

Alexander Preuß · Answer

Yeah that should only help if it s already trying to produce but it sounds like there is already an issue on startup

Thomas Turner · Answer

yeah it seems so

Alexander Preuß · Answer

I think I m out of ideas too Can you try running the tool from your local machine instead

Thomas Turner · Answer

Sure should i just copy the script off of the instance

Alexander Preuß · Answer

You can just download the respective binaries from <https pulsar apache org download |here>

Thomas Turner · Answer

Thomas Turner · Answer

Thomas Turner · Answer

Nick Pocock · Answer

Thomas Turner · Answer
