Follow the steps in this section to install a sample application named HotR.O.D, and generate tracing data.

  1. Use the HotROD install script below to create a sample-application namespace and deploy HotROD application on it:
curl -sL https://github.com/SigNoz/signoz/raw/develop/sample-apps/hotrod/hotrod-install.sh \
  | HELM_RELEASE=my-release SIGNOZ_NAMESPACE=platform bash
  1. Using the kubectl -n sample-application get pods command, monitor the sample application pods. Wait for all the pods to be in running state:
kubectl -n sample-application get pods

Output:

NAME                            READY   STATUS    RESTARTS   AGE
hotrod-55bd58cc8d-mzxq8         1/1     Running   0          2m
locust-master-b65744bbf-l7v7n   1/1     Running   0          2m
locust-slave-688c86bcb7-ngx7w   1/1     Running   0          2m
  1. Use the following command to generate load:
kubectl --namespace sample-application run strzal --image=djbingham/curl \
  --restart='OnFailure' -i --tty --rm --command -- curl -X POST -F \
  'user_count=6' -F 'spawn_rate=2' http://locust-master:8089/swarm

  1. Browse to http://localhost:3301 and see the metrics and traces for your sample application.

  2. Use the following command to stop load generation:

kubectl -n sample-application run strzal --image=djbingham/curl \
  --restart='OnFailure' -i --tty --rm --command -- curl \
  http://locust-master:8089/stop
