Gateway timeout Error while Load Testing: User Login-->Select Team--> Performs direct chat-->Logout

Hello
We have performed load testing using JMeter for 100 users. For the first few requests everything works fine but after sometime Gateway timeout error is encountered.Please refer to screenshot: http://imageshack.com/i/pnnrBje4p

In the beginning, same APIs run successfully but later the very same APIs return this error (504 Gateway Timeout Error).

We have configured mattermost with AWS server .
AWS server details:
Web Server Instance
Instance Size: C3 2X large
RDS Server Instance
db.m4.large

Hi Ajita,

Hard to tell what your problem is without some logs from the Mattermost server. Also are you using a machine running Nginx as we suggest or are you using another proxy like ELB?

For our next release (3.5 November 16) we are doing a big push on performance. If your considering using Mattermost at a scale above 10000 users I would evaluate our current master build. You can find that here: https://releases.mattermost.com/mattermost-platform/master/mattermost-enterprise-linux-amd64.tar.gz

We are currently working on a document to help people setup Mattermost at large scale. Some suggestions from that document:

Modify your /etc/init/mattermost.conf to be:

start on runlevel [2345]
stop on runlevel [016]
respawn
limit nofile 50000 50000
chdir /home/ubuntu/mattermost
setuid ubuntu
exec bin/platform

Modify your ulimits on your proxy and Mattermost machines. (by editing /etc/security/limits.conf)

ulimit -n 65536 65536
ulimit -u 8192 8192
