We are trying to do performance testing using JMeter.
I used the sample guide provided in jmeter using HTTP PROXY SERVER but my record controller was not recording any requests.
After doing a lot of research and here is what the complete scenario is.
I am accessing external sites using company proxy server. So, after a bit of research, I understand I need to start my jmeter by supplying all information via command line. e.g.
jmeter -H 129.198.1.1 -P 8000 -u someusername -a someuserpassword -N localhost
Now i understand that, i don't need to confuse these settings. By default JMETER uses its own internal proxy server.
We need to configure our browser so that it uses jmeter proxy settings and i did that way.
I added a thread group, a recording controller, http proxy server with url include patterns and exclude patterns but still, it's not able to record any scripts.
What am i doing wrong? Can someone help me with it?
I used document JMeter proxy step by step which comes bundled with JMETER documentation.
Here is my configuration
Remove everything in :
URLs patterns to include
URLs patterns to exclude
click on Add suggested excludes
It should work.
Currently your include patterns are wrong :
- http://jmeter.apache.org/usermanual/component_reference.html#HTTP_Proxy_Server
The include and exclude patterns are treated as regular expressions (using Jakarta ORO). They will be matched against the host name, port (actual or implied) path and query (if any) of each browser request. If the URL you are browsing is
"http://jmeter.apache.org/jmeter/index.html?username=xxxx" ,
then the regular expression will be tested against the string:
"jmeter.apache.org:80/jmeter/index.html?username=xxxx" .
Thus, if you want to include all .html files, your regular expression might look like:
"..html(\?.)?" - or ".*.html" if you know that there is no query string or you only want html pages without query strings.
See this reference documentation for how to record:
- http://jmeter.apache.org/usermanual/jmeter_proxy_step_by_step.html
I had a similar problem when configuring firefox for proxy and recording on localhost. In Firefox -> Tools -> options -> Advanced -> Network -> Settings
there was an entry for localhost in No Proxy for.
I removed that and it works
I have faced similar problem, please see below. As JMETER proxy is running on localhost, please uncheck the below checkbox.
You have done wrong writing the syntax/format for "URL Patterns to Include" and "URL Patterns to Exclude" in "HTTP Proxy Server" under Workbench. The syntax/format should be as below:
.*\.jsp
.*\.jsf
.*\.html
But, you have written forward slash(/). Such as .*/.jsp. After correcting the syntax it should be recorded.
Install Jmeter Chrome extension which records HTTPS protocol without any issue.
The Jmeter proxy server must be started before Firefox can connect to it. JMeter has its own proxy server so the Recording Controller 'start' button has to be pushed before FF will allow access to a website.
