Extending Locust

Locust comes with a number of events that provides hooks for extending locust in different ways.

Event listeners can be registered at the module level in a locust file. Here’s an example:

from locust import events

def my_success_handler(method, path, response_time, response):
    print "Successfully fetched: %s" % (path)

events.request_success += my_success_handler

Adding Web Routes

Locust uses Flask to serve the web UI and therefor it is easy to add web end-points to the web UI. Just import the Flask app in your locustfile and set up a new route:

from locust import web

@web.app.route("/added_page")
def my_added_page():
    return "Another page"

You should now be able to start locust and browse to http://127.0.0.1:8089/added_page
