JMeter Distributed Performance Test in Linux Environment

Without SSL do the performance test

Master and Slave servers configurations:- Key points to keep attention:  - Same JMeter version used by master and slave servers  - Same java JDK installed Change the jmeter.properties file as follows in master remote_hosts=172.x.x.x

Uncomment 'server.rmi.ssl.disable' and set it as true as follows( by default it mention as false and commented) in both master and slave nodes.

Start slave node 'jmeter-server' file as follows [./jmeter-server]

Start master jmeter script as follows with nohup

With SSL do the performance test Generate rmi_keystore.jks key as follows and keep the following point for that. name: rmi & password: changeit

Copy the 'rmi_keystore.jks' file to the slave /bin folder Change jmeter.properties file as follows in master

Start slave node jmeter-server file as follows [./jmeter-server -Djava.rmi.server.hostname=172.xx.x.x]

Start master jmeter script as follows with nohup

Observed errors and solutions:- When the slave starting mode went wrong If you started the slave node as follows, you will observe the following attached master node error. [./jmeter-server]

So you should start as follows the slave node [./jmeter-server -Djava.rmi.server.hostname=172.xx.x.x] 2. You can observe the following error response when mismatch of the 'rmi_keystore.jks' file password. So 'server.rmi.ssl.keystore.password' password and 'rmi_keystore.jks' file generation  the password should be the same.
