Go Traffic Load Monitor & Generator
This project includes 3 Go-based tools designed to simulate, monitor, and stress-test web server traffic in a coordinated and visual way.
🔧 Tools Overview
| Tool | Description |
|---|---|
webmonitor.go |
Launches a local web server with a live dashboard showing real-time request count and traffic load levels. |
trafico.go |
Simulates user-like HTTP browsing traffic to common or custom URLs. |
siege.go |
High-performance HTTP load generator (Siege-style) with concurrency control and metrics reporting. |
🚀 How to Use
1. Start the Monitoring Web Server
go run webmonitor.go
This starts a web server on port 8080. Once running, it will auto-open your browser or you can visit it manually at:
http://:8080/monitor
You'll see a real-time traffic dashboard with gauges for low, medium, and high load thresholds.
2. Generate Traffic with trafico.go
This simulates real HTTP GET requests to popular websites or a specific target:
go run trafico.go http://:8080
You can also run it without arguments to use predefined popular URLs (e.g., facebook.com, youtube.com, instagram.com).
You'll be prompted for:
- • Session duration in minutes
- • Delay between requests
- • Number of concurrent workers
3. Stress Test with siege.go
This tool simulates high-concurrency load (similar to siege):
go run siege.go http://:8080 500 1
Arguments:
- • Target URL
- • Number of concurrent workers
- • Duration (in minutes)
🧪 Test Workflow Example
1. In Terminal 1, run the monitor:
go run webmonitor.go
2. In Terminal 2, simulate browsing traffic:
go run trafico.go http://192.168.1.100:8080
3. In Terminal 3, fire off the stress test:
siegee 192.168.142.22:8080 50 1 [INFO] Target: http://192.168.142.22:8080 [INFO] Concurrency: 50 [INFO] Duration: 1m0s ========= Siege Report ========= Transactions: 890580 hits Availability: 100.00 % Elapsed time: 60.00 secs Response time: 0.00 secs Transaction rate: 14843.00 trans/sec Successful transactions: 890580 Failed transactions: 0
