[chef] chef server load testing

[Marcus Simonsen < >]

Hi,

I'd like to load test the chef-server (11 or 12) with simulated node registrations - ie. simulating chef-client process.
I'm wondering if anyone is doing anything like this?

My hack thus far is that I have created a jmeter plugin that creates a chef-client process per thread.  I had to modify the run_lock.rb code to allow concurrent runs of chef-client on a single node.  What I really need is the ability to simulate http payload(s) that ultimately simulates an entire chef-client process - and makes my plugin much lighter and more flexible.

All suggestions welcome!
