Tips and tricks

Stopping a server after the end of the test

Set the JMeter property server.exitaftertest to true.

docker run --detach --publish 1099:1099 --rm egaillardon/jmeter -Jserver.rmi.ssl.disable=true -Djava.rmi.server.hostname=192.168.1.15 -Jserver.rmi.localport=1099 -Jserver.exitaftertest=true --server

Stopping a test before the end

Replace relaxed_kilby by your client container id or name.

docker exec -it relaxed_kilby shutdonwn.sh
or
docker exec -it relaxed_kilby stoptest.sh

Setting a fixed RMI port on the client side

Set the JMeter property client.rmi.localport (useful when there is a firewall between the client and servers).

docker run --detach --rm --volume `pwd`:/jmeter egaillardon/jmeter -Jserver.rmi.ssl.disable=true -Jclient.rmi.localport=2500 --nongui --testfile test.jmx --remotestart 192.168.1.15:1098,192.168.1.15:1099 --logfile result.jtl

Sending the content of the jmeter log file to console

Set the jmeterlogconf option in order to use another log4j2.xml file (see the example file provided)

docker run --detach --publish 1099:1099 --volume `pwd`:/jmeter --rm egaillardon/jmeter -Jserver.rmi.ssl.disable=true -Djava.rmi.server.hostname=192.168.1.15 -Jserver.rmi.localport=1099 -Dserver_port=1099 --server --jmeterlogconf log4j2.xml

Running a client in GUI mode, with SSL for RMI disabled, to connect to remote servers

jmeter -Jremote_hosts=192.168.1.1 -Jserver.rmi.ssl.disable=true

SSL for RMI

In distributed testing, SSL for RMI has to be enabled or disabled on both sides. See Apache JMeter Remote Testing for more information.

Getting the IP address

  • On Linux

hostname -I

/sbin/ifconfig eth0 | grep 'inet '| awk '{ print $2}'

  • On macOS

ipconfig getifaddr en0

/sbin/ifconfig en0 | grep 'inet '| awk '{ print $2}'

Setting your timezone in the docker container

  • Add the TZ environment variable

docker run --detach --publish 1099:1099 --env TZ=Europe/Paris --rm egaillardon/jmeter

Assigning the local user's id and group to the jmeter user inside the container

docker run --env JMETER_GROUP_ID=/usr/bin/id -g --env JMETER_USER_ID=/usr/bin/id -u --rm egaillardon/jmeter --server -Jserver.rmi.ssl.disable=true

Running JMeter in GUI mode from Docker using X11-forwarding (Pull request #2 submitted by @ericpeters)

Install Quartz
  • Install the latest XQuartz X11 server (https://www.xquartz.org/) and run it
  • Activate the option ‘Allow connections from network clients’ in XQuartz settings
  • Quit & restart XQuartz (to activate the setting)
Run Interactive UI
# allow access from localhost
xhost + 127.0.0.1

docker pull egaillardon/jmeter
docker run -e DISPLAY=host.docker.internal:0 --interactive --tty --rm egaillardon/jmeter jmeter.sh
