What does server throughput mean - throughput

If the throughput is increase how will be changed the response and request time?
If I have the data(request/min)?

JMeter's definition of throughput can be seen here: https://jmeter.apache.org/usermanual/glossary.html
Basically its a measure of how many requests that JMeter were able to send to your test site/application in one second. Or in another word the number of requests that your test site/application was able to receive from JMeter in one second. An increase in the throughput will mean your site/application was able to receive more requests per second while a decrease will mean a reduction in the number of request it handled per second.
The relationship between throughput with response/request time totally depends as ysth stated. I typically use this number to see the load of the server but run the test several times (30x min) and take the average.

There's not necessarily a relationship. Can you tell us anything more about why you want to know this, what you plan to do with the information, etc.? It may help get you an answer better suited to your needs.

After completion of the project development as a developer, we are responsible to test the performance of the application.
As part of performance testing, we have to check
1)Response time of application
2)bottle nack of application
3)Throughput of application
Throughput of application:-
In general 'Request capacity of application in a given time.'
As per Apache JMeter doc :-
Throughput is calculated as requests/unit of time. The time is calculated from the start of the first sample to the end of the last sample. This includes any intervals between samples, as it is supposed to represent the load on the server.
The formula is: Throughput = (number of requests) / (total time).

process pubsub messages in constant rate. Using streaming and serverless

The scenario:
I have thousands of requests I need to issue each day.
I know the number at the beginning of the day and hopefully I want to send all the data about the requests to pubsub. Message per request.
I want to make the requests in constant rate. for example if I have 172800 requests, I want to process 2 in each second.
The ultimate way will involved pubsub push and cloud run.
Using pull with long running instances is also an option.
Any other option are also welcome.
I want to avoid running in a loop and fetch records from a database with limit.
This is how I am doing it today.
You can use batch and flow control settings for fine-tuning Pub/Sub performance which will help in processing messages at a constant rate.
Batching
A batch, within the context of Cloud Pub/Sub, refers to a group of one or more messages published to a topic by a publisher in a single publish request. Batching is done by default in the client library or explicitly by the user. The purpose for this feature is to allow for a higher throughput of messages while also providing a more efficient way for messages to travel through the various layers of the service(s). Adjusting the batch size (i.e. how many messages or bytes are sent in a publish request) can be used to achieve the desired level of throughput.
Features specific to batching on the publisher side include setElementCountThreshold(), setRequestByteThreshold(), and setDelayThreshold() as part of setBatchSettings() on a publisher client (the naming varies slightly in the different client libraries). These features can be used to finely tune the behavior of batching to find a better balance among cost, latency, and throughput.
Note: The maximum number of messages that can be published in a single batch is 1000 messages or 10 MB.
An example of these batching properties can be found in the Publish with batching settings documentation.
Flow Control
Flow control features on the subscriber side can help control the unhealthy behavior of tasks on the pipeline by allowing the subscriber to regulate the rate at which messages are ingested. These features provide the added functionality to adjust how sensitive the service is to sudden spikes or drops of published throughput.
Some features that are helpful for adjusting flow control and other settings on the subscriber are setMaxOutstandingElementCount(), setMaxOutstandingRequestBytes(), and setMaxAckExtensionPeriod().
Examples of these settings being used can be found in the Subscribe with flow control documentation.
For more information refer to this link.
If you are having long running instances as subscribers, then you will need to set relevant FlowControl settings for example .setMaxOutstandingElementCount(1000L)
Once you have set it to the desired number (for example 1000), this should control the maximum amount of messages the subscriber receives before pausing the message stream, as explained in the code below from this documentation:
// The subscriber will pause the message stream and stop receiving more messsages from the
// server if any one of the conditions is met.
FlowControlSettings flowControlSettings =
FlowControlSettings.newBuilder()
// 1,000 outstanding messages. Must be >0. It controls the maximum number of messages
// the subscriber receives before pausing the message stream.
.setMaxOutstandingElementCount(1000L)
// 100 MiB. Must be >0. It controls the maximum size of messages the subscriber
// receives before pausing the message stream.
.setMaxOutstandingRequestBytes(100L * 1024L * 1024L)
.build();

Limit 100 requests per min setup in Jmeter is not working

I have tried couple of suggestions as mentioned in other sites on how to configure/Limit 100 requests per minute for a given REST endpoint for a single user. its not working !
Can someone please guide me to setup on how to limit a 100 requests for a given REST endpoint?
Thankyou in Advance!!
The easiest way is adding Constant Throughput Timer however be aware that it's precise enough on minute level so you will have to let your test to run for at least a minute before you start seeing the rate limiting, if your test throughput is higher during the first minute - consider playing with ramp-up.
If you have only 1 user and your test runs for a minute or less you will have to consider the following options:
Precise Throughput Timer
Throughput Shaping Timer
the latter one is extremely easy to use and it provides visual way of defining the target throughput:

rate limit policy on queries to Azure Insights REST API for Events (Audit Logs)

I have some questions regarding Azure Insights REST Api for Events.
When I make HTTP request to Inisghts API for events, I receive the header "
x-ms-ratelimit-remaining-subscription-reads", with value "14999".
But next query in 1s returns me the same value of remaining reads.
I see there is some throttling policy there, but I would like to understand how it works and what is the correct way to deal with that.
In particular,
1) how many reads I am able to do per second?
2) if I exceed the whole remaining reads parameter, how much time should I wait before it will again be maximum?
3) is it decreased on every query attempt, despite of the $top parameter setted and how many results has been returned?
Thank you!
This article seems to have the responses you need.
To answer the questions based on it:
There is no limit to the number of requests per second, but you have 15k
requests/hour/subscription/region/instance of ARM region. Worst case scenario you will get throttled after 15k requests but you'd have to be extremely unlucky for that.
If you exceed the limit, you are
told how much you have to wait and you can integrate that logic by
looking at the Retry-After header. Happily, it's a matter of
seconds.
I believe the $top parameter doesn't affect the query since
no matter how many results are brought back, a paging request is
still just one request.
As for the fact that you get 14999 requests
remaining multiple times, as they say in their documentation it is
expected since an ARM region has multiple instances and each instance has
15k requests limit/subscription/hour. If you hit simultaneously and
you get the same number remaining, it just means that you were lucky
enough to hit different instances within the same ARM region.
1) how many reads I am able to do per second?
Based on the rate limits published here - https://azure.microsoft.com/en-in/documentation/articles/azure-subscription-service-limits/#subscription-limits, you can perform 15000 reads / hour (not sure it would translate to 4 reads / second).
2) if I exceed the whole remaining reads parameter, how much time
should I wait before it will again be maximum?
Given the rates are defined per hour, my guess would be to wait till next hour if you exhaust 15000 read request limit.
3) is it decreased on every query attempt, despite of the $top
parameter setted and how many results has been returned?
This is based on the number of API calls and not the amount of data returned. So I would say defining $top parameter should not have any impact on this.
When I make HTTP request to Inisghts API for events, I receive the
header " x-ms-ratelimit-remaining-subscription-reads", with value
"14999". But next query in 1s returns me the same value of remaining
reads.
I would assume there's some caching in play here. Is it the same request you're repeating or a different request all together?

Getting QuotaExceededException - What are the operation quota limitations for Azure Notification Hubs?

I was doing some latency/performance testing for sending push notifications with Azure Notification Hub by consecutively sending many notifications in a foreach loop. It worked fine for 100 "SendNotification" requests, altough it was relatively slow (14s), but I got a QuotaExceededException for 1000 requests in a row:
[QuotaExceededException: The remote server returned an error: (403)
Forbidden. The request was terminated because the namespace
pushnotification-testing is being throttled. Please wait 60 seconds
and try again. TrackingId:...
Even when I don't wait for 60 seconds as advised, I can again execute 100 consecutive requests, but 1000 requests in a row always fail... Anything slightly above 100 consecutive requests fails most of the time...
I couldn't find any documentation on these limitations. This should be documented somewhere, so I can be sure Azure Notification Hubs will fit my needs.
The answer to this question says
There is a throttling for CRUD operation's rate. Quotas depend on tire
your are but it is not going to be less then 2000 operations per
minute per namespace any way. If quota is exceed then service returns
403.
For me, it seems to be less then 2000 operations. By the way, I'm using "FREE" tier for testing, but I guess we would switch to "STANDARD" for production.
Has anyone similar experiences or knows where to look for more information?
In particular, what are the operation quota limitations per timefram for the different tiers of Azure Notification Hubs?
UPDATE1: It's weird, but I sending 1000 requests in parallel works most of the time, but consecutively it fails on the 101st request.
For my best knowledge for right now NH has following limitations on number of SENDS (not registrations) per namespace per minute per NH machine:
Free tire: 100
Basic tire: 900
Standard tire: 11500
Massive sending in parallel allows to send more because calls are very likely to be routed on different machines.

Locust.io send requests at an exact rate

Is there a way in locust.io to set the rate at which the requests will be sent? I am using locust to see how my database will perform under increased load. I am not interested in the max request rate the database can take but rather the performance of the database when it receives a specific rate. For example I want to see the latency of the read operations under a specific write load.
I think You need to set min_rate and max_rate at the same value:
class MyUser(MyLocustExtendedClass):
host = "myhost"
min_wait = __VALUE__
max_wait = __VALUE__
...
It is not possible to set locust to a specific RPS, also check reply on this post: specifying RPS
But you can attempt to reach a specific number with using this formula:
rps = wait time X #_users
Change wait time in the Locust class and number of users
