How do I load test a RabbitMQ server (Either using JMeter, python or any other tool..)?
<p>I have been given access to a RabbitMQ server to do a load test on it. I'm completely new to servers and AMQ protocol. I've been researching online to see what are some different methods. So far I'm investigating two methods.</p>

<ol>
<li><p>JMeter; I have found this project: <a href="https://github.com/jlavallee/JMeter-Rabbit-AMQP#build-dependencies" rel="noreferrer">https://github.com/jlavallee/JMeter-Rabbit-AMQP#build-dependencies</a> . It gives me a jar file which I can create JMeter AMQP consumer and publisher, but I have no idea what to put in the fields. (virtual host vs host - dunno my ports -..)

<li><p>Python; using Pika.
I have a simple sender script which connects from my client to my server and sends a 'hello world' text to the server. Also wrote a receiver script to receive those 'hello world's. Is this a determination of load if I open multiple terminals and run my sender script 10 instances at the same time?</p></li>
</ol>

<p>Again, I'm asking all these because I'm new to servers, cloud, load testing and Jmeter. It's just a task I have to do.</p>

<p>Thanks for any answer you can give me to clarify things a bit for me.</p>
