Remote

Note: Before you start…

  • Remember to copy the jar files for the test application into the lib/ext folder on the workstation and server.

  • If another application on the same server starts an Rmi Registry then JMeter will NOT start (my app starts an Rmi Registry).

On the remote server run:

jmeter-server.bat

I installed JMeter on a server in my home folder. So to run:

cd E:\home\patrickk\tools\jakarta-jmeter-2.1.1\bin\
jmeter-server.bat

On the local workstation start JMeter with a command line parameter which lists remote hosts:

jmeter -Jremote_hosts=10.10.10.246

To start the test, open the test script, select Run, Remote Start, ip address

History

Note:

Had to install JMeter version 2.1.1 on both server and workstation before it would work.

JMeter failed to start on the server - I don’t think the RMI server had time to get going.

Just re-started JMeter without shutting down the RMI command prompt. All OK.
