There are a number of things you could do, such as make additional copies of the request logs, and change the intervals between requests in the logs. Then you'd have to make sure that the results do not create some sort of error, for example by duplicating DB updates, or something like that. This all runs afoul of the idea of reproducing recorded traffic, but the sampler doesn't know or care where the request logs came from or how they were built. > Regarding your thoughts of allowing utilization of JMeter config > elements like cookies, I guess that another approach (which maybe > others already implemented?) will be to simply convert apache logs > into jmeter samplers(creating a jmx file) but I am not sure how > jmeter will handle thousands of samplers in one script. As sebb mentioned, that's the Access Log Samper (just the one sampler is enough). As I mentioned earlier, access logs mean that you are limited to GET requests and any headers the access log contains, and you have to estimate the concurrency of the logged requests. > Anyway, this is interesting topic.. maybe more related to the users > list and not dev... We can take it over there, it just came up on dev because we've offered the sampler for JMeter, and the question was how generally useful it would be. - From the feedback so far, I'm thinking we should bring it up again at a later time, when we have stronger tool support for obtaining the request logs, and easier ways of solving problems with sessions and the like, as we've been discussing today. Sound about right?
