I have tried to test activemq in jmeter, but I want to test zeromq performance. The zeromq server is working. How should I operate in jmeter?

I need to test ActiveMQ Artemis using AMQP protocol (not JMS or MQTT). I am completely new on testing message queues.
Thanks in advance.
Please assist on how to try this in Jmeter or LoadRunner tool.
For JMeter there is JMeter AMQP Plugin. If it's not sufficient for your needs, i.e. doesn't support SASL and you explicitly need this authentication - you will need to go for JSR223 Sampler and Groovy language or even to create your own JMeter Plugin using client libraries of your AMPQ broker.
For loadrunner the approach should be more or less the same
We have been doing performance testing of an application that uses IBM MQ. Through JMeter we are injecting the payload via a JMS Publisher. However, when running the test it can be observed that the connections from the JMeter threads are not being released. This effects the ability to reach the throughput and test failure due to the accumulation of threads. Is there a better alternative than using the JMS Publisher? Or is there setting there that needs to be enabled in order to release the connection once the request has been sent?

What are you trying to achieve? JMeter implements Object Pool Pattern so each JMeter thread (virtual user) creates its own JMS connection and on subsequent iterations of the JMS Publisher sampler the Publisher object is being returned from the pool rather than created from zero.
If this is not something you want (or not how your JMS application acts) and you would like to close the connection after posting a message to queue/topic you can achieve it quite easily using JSR223 PostProcessor and the following Groovy code:
def publisher = sampler.publisher
org.apache.jmeter.protocol.jms.client.ClientPool.removeClient(publisher)
org.apache.commons.io.IOUtils.closeQuietly(publisher, null)
sampler.publisher = null
Our system takes post request and send json body to kafka topic and this topic is configured as spout for topology and topology generate output message to a kafka topic.
How i can load test this system? Number of message processed per second by system.
I am planning to use jmeter for load testing
JMeter is the one which comes in our mind whenever we think about performance or load testing of Web APIs, however you can also check for alternatives like LoadRunner etc.
However, from Kafka and Storm point of view, you need to write storm kafka spout to read and commit offsets as well as you might need some monitoring tool to check and validate how it behaves under load like
Throughput (messages/sec) on size of data.
Throughput (messages/sec) on number of messages.
Performance at Producer side
Performance at Consumer side
I've tried Yahoo Kafka manager which is opensource and serves the purpose, might want give it a try: https://github.com/yahoo/kafka-manager, however there other monitoring tools also Kafka Monitoring tool in Production
If you want focus only Kafka load performance benchmarking then below command under your kafka distribution would be very helpful:
kafka-producer-perf-test.sh
kafka-consumer-perf-test.sh

If you plan to use JMeter it makes sense to consider Pepper-Box - Kafka Load Generator plugin, it comes with PepperBoxKafkaSampler which provides handy UI allowing to specify your Kafka endpoints, topics, etc.
If you need also to read messages from the Kafka topics you can use JSR223 Test Elements and Groovy language for this, check out Apache Kafka - How to Load Test with JMeter and Writing a Kafka Consumer in Java articles for more information and example code snippets
As I am a starter in both programs, I had some research about sending messages to ActiveMQ with using JMS point-to-point sampler in JMeter and what I had is as below.What I want to do is the same thing but with the Blob Messages. How can I configure P2P sampler to be able to do that?
I've got a REST service that in response to a request, posts a message on a JMS queue. All of the main http functional testing is done using JMeter, so I was wondering if anyone has successfully pulled a JMS message off an existing queue in JMeter?
JMeter will do no such thing, but a class that you write to extend MessageListener, register with the queue, and have JMeter instantiate in a JUnit test certainly can. I'd recommend that you keep the consuming and testing separate. Write that MessageListener, get it working, and then figure out how to wire it into JMeter.
