eMQTT-Bench is a lightweight MQTT v5.0 benchmark tool written in Erlang.
You can download pre-built binary packeges from https://github.com/emqx/emqtt-bench/releases.
NOTE: Requires Erlang/OTP 22.3+ to build.
emqtt-bench requires libatomic
# centos 7
sudo yum install libatomic# ubuntu 20.04
sudo apt install libatomic1 git clone https://github.com/emqx/emqtt-bench.git
cd emqtt-bench
makeOptional, you could disable QUIC support if you have problem with compiling

./emqtt_bench pub -c 100 -i 10 -t bench/%i -s 256 -p 8883 --ssl --certfile path/to/client-cert.pem --keyfile path/to/client-key.pemYou should not set '-c' option more than 64K for TCP ports limit on one source addresses, however you can send messages from multiple source IP Addresses with '--ifaddr ' such like
./emqtt_bench sub -c 200000 -t "perf/test" --ifaddr 192.168.200.18,192.168.200.19,192.168.200.20,192.168.200.21
Make sure to increase resource usage limits and expand the port range like following on Linux.
ulimit -n 200000
