I've done it before for weblogic, though I don't have that code anymore. peter On 3/16/06, Hariharasudhan R <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Hi all, > > I need to stress test a web server and plot a graph of memory growth over > time. > Is there some way I can accomplish this ? > > Can I have a setup where one JMeter client is running on the target > machine > but not serving requests (so as to not choke the target machine) which > will > collect this information and the other clients fire the requests to the > web > server. > > Right now, we are using a cron job which gets a snapshot of the free > memory > every hour and then manually plot a graph using Excel. > > Where I can get information about the statistical data available for > analysis and plotting ? > i.e. Number of GET requests, Number of requests per second, Resource > utilitsation etc. > > Thanks in advance, > Hari. > >
