Reset quota is not working as expected in apigee - policy

I have applied a quota policy by using the following code
<Quota async="false" continueOnError="false" enabled="true" name="Quota-1">
<DisplayName>Quota 1</DisplayName>
<Allow count="2"/>
<Interval>1</Interval>
<Distributed>true</Distributed>
<Synchronous>false</Synchronous>
<TimeUnit>minute</TimeUnit>
<Identifier ref="request.queryparam.id"/>
<AsynchronousConfiguration>
<SyncIntervalInSeconds>1</SyncIntervalInSeconds>
<SyncMessageCount>5</SyncMessageCount>
</AsynchronousConfiguration>
</Quota>
And then i am resetting the count by using reset count policy with following code
<ResetQuota async="false" continueOnError="false" enabled="true" name="Reset-Quota-1">
<DisplayName>Reset Quota 1</DisplayName>
<Quota name="Quota-1">
<Identifier ref="request.queryparam.id">
<Allow>6</Allow>
</Identifier>
</Quota>
</ResetQuota>
As per my knowledge when i am giving requests the available count needs to be 6,5,4,3,2,1,0
But it is showing 1,6,11,16,21,.....
In this scenario there is no chance to count come down to 0.
What might be the wrong.
Thanks in advance....

I see that you are using asynchronous quota by setting the to false. You also have an incorrect AsynchronousConfiguration because your SyncMessageCount (5) is greater than your Allow count (2).
What the Asynchronous Configuration really means is that the quota counters would not be updated to the backend for every request, but only at intervals of every 5 seconds, which is anyways higher than the allow count. That's the problem you are running into, and that's why you see the count increasing by a factor of 5 - 1,6,11,16,21 etc.
You need to set the sync interval to be smaller than the allow count. Also note that Async quota would not give you 100% accuracy since it only synchs the counters across multiple servers at regular intervals and not for every request.

Spring JMS - Message-driven-channel-adapter The number of consumers doesn't reduce to the standard level

I have a message-driven-channel-adapter and I defined the max-concurrent-consumers as 100 and concurrent-consumers as 2. When I tried a load test, I saw that the concurrent-consumers increased but after the load test, The number of consumers didn't reduce to the standard level. I'm checking it with RabbitMQ management portal.
When the project restarted (no load test), the GET (Empty) is 650/s but after load test it stays about 2500/s. It is not returning to 650/s. I think concurrent-consumers property is being increased to a number but is not being reduced to original value.
How can I make it to reduce to normal level again?
Here is my message-driven-channel-adapter definition:
<int-jms:message-driven-channel-adapter id="inboundAdapter"
auto-startup="true"
connection-factory="jmsConnectionFactory"
destination="inboundQueue"
channel="requestChannel"
error-channel="errorHandlerChannel"
receive-timeout="-1"
concurrent-consumers="2"
max-concurrent-consumers="100" />
With receiveTimeout=-1; the container has no control over the idle consumer (it is blocked in the jms client).
You also need to set max-messages-per-task for the container to consider stopping a consumer.
<int-jms:message-driven-channel-adapter id="inboundAdapter"
auto-startup="true"
connection-factory="jmsConnectionFactory"
destination-name="inboundQueue"
channel="requestChannel"
error-channel="errorHandlerChannel"
receive-timeout="5000"
concurrent-consumers="2"
max-messages-per-task="10"
max-concurrent-consumers="100" />
The time elapsed for an idle consumer is receiveTimeout * maxMessagesPerTask.

JMeter , Execution order is not correct

I have 4 transaction controllers named
Trans_api1
__Http Request
Trans_api2
__Http Request
Trans_api3
__Http Request
Trans_api4
__Http Request
that contain Http Requests, However when I run my test plan, I want them to run in numerical order but then they run randomly. How do I fix the order to it runs from 1-4?
Each JMeter thread (virtual user) runs Samplers upside down so you don't need to do anything, your requests are executed from top to bottom already. If you run your test with 1 user - you will see that requests are being executed sequentially.
If you're seeing some "mess" most probably it's caused by concurrency, like
1st user starts 1st request
2st user starts 2nd request
2nd user starts 1st request
1st user starts 3rd request
etc.
You can see this yourself if you add ${__threadNum} function as the prefix or postfix for your request (or transaction controller) label and eventually ${__groovy(vars.getIteration(),)} function to display the current loop number
With 1 user:
With 2 users:
With 2 users and 2 iterations:
As it evidenced by the above images each users executes samplers sequentially on each iteration, these "inconsistencies" are misleadingly interpreted due to concurrency

Selenoid: What does the count attribute do in a quota file?

I started Selenoid with docker: aerokube/cm:latest selenoid start --args "-limit 20"
I then created a quota file with:
user.xml:
<qa:browsers xmlns:qa="urn:config.gridrouter.qatools.ru">
<browser name="chrome" defaultVersion="62.0">
<version number="62.0">
<region name="1">
<host name="1.2.3.4" port="4445" count="10"/>
</region>
</version>
</browser>
</qa:browsers>
When I run with this user it runs 20 in parallel. I thought count="10" would mean this user can do at most 10 in parallel. And -limit 20 was the max for the VM. Is this the correct usage of count?
In fact count field in Ggr quota XML file means host weight. It makes sense when two or more hosts are present in quota. This attribute is called so for historical reasons. So when you have e.g. two hosts in quota with counts 1 and 3 then sessions will be distributed as 1:3 over these hosts. When counts are equal then distribution should be random uniform. If you set count equal to the real count of browsers for each host - then you also get random uniform distribution. This is what we are recommend to do in production.

Apigee Spike Arrest Rate Limit Application

I am an Apigee newbie.
I am trying to understand the Spike Arrest policy.
I am looking at this documentation:
http://apigee.com/docs/api-services/content/shield-apis-using-spikearrest
http://apigee.com/docs/api-services/content/policy-attachment-and-enforcement
The one thing I cannot understand for certain is if, when the Spike Arrest Policy is applied to an ApiProxy, whether the rate limit is applied per Key/Client Dev Application, or is it shared between all Keys/Client Dev Applications?
For example if we have the following config:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<SpikeArrest async="false" continueOnError="false" enabled="true" name="spikearrest-1">
<DisplayName>SpikeArrest-1</DisplayName>
<FaultRules/>
<Properties/>
<Identifier ref="request.header.some-header-name"/>
<MessageWeight ref="request.header.weight"/>
<Rate>50ps</Rate>
</SpikeArrest>
And Client Dev Apps:
1. DevApp1
2. DevApp2
Is the 50ps rate limit shared between DevApp1 and DevApp2, or do DevApp1 and DevApp2 get 50ps rate limit each?
Thanks,
You can use any of the predefined variables:
http://apigee.com/docs/api-services/api/variables-reference
The variable that is probably the most commonly used for Spike Arrest is client.ip.
Edge will make all elements of a request message available. If your clients are adding a client_id (aka API key) to a request as a query parameter, for example api.call.com?client_id=u34r8ur, then you would set the variable in your Spike Arrest Identifier to be:
<Identifier ref="request.queryparam.client_id"/>
Or if it is in an HTTP header:
<Identifier ref="request.header.client_id"/>
Hope that helps!
Its per app identified by your identifier.

Maximum number of messages sent to a Queue in OpenMQ?

I am currently using Glassfish v2.1 and I have set up a queue to send and receive messages from with Sesion beans and MDBs respectively. However, I have noticed that I can send only a maximum of 1000 messages to the queue. Is there any reason why I cannot send more than 1000 messages to the queue? I do have a "developer" profile setup for the glassfish domain. Could that be the reason? Or is there some resource configuration setting that I need to modify?
I have setup the sun-resources.xml configuration properties as follows:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

Hmm .. further investigation revealed the following in the imq logs:
[17/Nov/2009:10:27:57 CST] ERROR sendMessage: Sending message failed. Connection ID: 427038234214377984:
com.sun.messaging.jmq.jmsserver.util.BrokerException: transaction failed: [B4303]: The maximum number of messages [1,000] that the producer can process in a single transaction (TID=427038234364096768) has been exceeded. Please either limit the # of messages per transaction or increase the imq.transaction.producer.maxNumMsgs property.
So what would I do if I needed to send more than 5000 messages at a time?
What I am trying to do is to read all the records in a table and update a particular field of each record based on the corresponding value of that record in a legacy table to which I have only read only access. This table has more than 10k records in it. As of now, I am sequentially going through each record in a for loop, getting the corresponding record from the legacy table, comparing the field values, updating the record if necessary and adding corresponding new records in other tables.
However, I was hoping to improve performance by processing all the records asynchronously. To do that I was thinking of sending each record info as a separate message and hence requiring so many messages.
To configure OpenMQ and set artitrary broker properties, have a look at this blog post.
But actually, I wouldn't advice to increase the imq.transaction.producer.maxNumMsgs property, at least not above the value recommended in the documentation:
The maximum number of messages that a producer can process in a single transaction. It is recommended that the value be less than 5000 to prevent the exhausting of resources.
If you need to send more messages, consider doing it in several transactions.
