Sending notifications on failing assertions for a simulation

Question

Background:

Using Gatling version 3.9.5 (Open Source) for Java and running distributed load testing on K8s with two jobs:

• Running with no-reports to generate logs
• Running with reportsOnly with the logs generated in the first step.

Now, I'd like to send notifications on slack/teams for failed assertions so that we can have teams look at it.

I'd like recommendations on achieving this functionality.

FYI - I did some chatGPT and Bard searches as well but probably found some non-factual information, suggesting to write a Gatling custom listener and invoke it in the setup step which I couldn't find any documentation for.

Answer 1

All the features you're trying to build (and many more) are available in Gatling Enterprise:

• distributed tests
• Slack and MS Teams notifications

I would not recommend building your own.
