I am running a locust performance test for my application and total number of users i am running test is 50000 with 10 worker machines (5000 each) and using parameter as: "LOCUST_USERS": "50000"
but due to this, load on my system became very high and at some point system fails to serves the requests and it fails.
Also, i want my system to create 50000 users but want to authemnticate only 2000-3000 at a time. So, I want limit the users authentication to 2000-3000 at a specific point of time so that my cpu utilization remains 80-90 percent and no test will fail. Thanks for help!
