Hmm, I was using GET. Though I doubt that using POST would be different (doPost() calls doGet()). What are all of the JMeter components in your Thread Group? All I have are: * HTTP Request Defaults * HTTP Request (doe the single GET) * Summary Report The only other thing I can think of is that

Ran JMeter on my laptop (dual core AMD) and JBossAS on my desktop (quad core Intel). Laptop showed about 70-80% CPU usage. Desktop barely registered 10% usage. I was getting 333 requests/second. Hmm, that was using wireless on my laptop. Turned off wireless and used a wired connection. Now my

Hi Peter - I'll try and answer all your Qs here :) Post #1: I have tried numerous thread group settings thus far - low numbers of threads w/ many repetitions, high threads w/ many repetitions, various ramp-up times - I still get a max of around 50 /s, be it when running JMeter on my windows

Are you running JBossAS on both Linux and WinXP? And getting the same results? I assume your Linux is 64-bit (based on the heap settings used - 32-bit is limited to around 2.7GB heaps on Linux and 1.5 on WinXP), am I correct? Which distro? Are you are running 64-bit WinXP? If only 32-bit, what

I am running JBoss solely on the Linux box. Any yes the linux is 64-bit CentOS. Inspired by your Hello world test, I tried POSTing to a dummy servlet running on a Tomcat server (on another machine) that simply prints the request to file and returns. I can get the requests up to ~60/second, but

Thanks for your input. For this particular test I was trying to overload the server with requests to see if anything extremely bad happened. Is it reasonable to suppose that the server isn't accepting/processing the HTTP requests because it is already so loaded with work? Like you said, this

How many threads are you running in JMeter? Have you tried starting out with only a few threads, and slowly increasing the number of threads, noting how the system behaves for each run? How many processors (or cores) are on the JBossAS box? What Windows performance statistics are you

Which listener are you using? Why do I ask? Well, I used the Summary Report listener. It said Throughput = 2.0/sec (running a single thread for 200 requests) and = 44.0/sec (running 10 threads for 200 requests). The problem is, my 1 thread run lasted less than 1 second, and the 10 thread run

Looks like if I want to take this any further I will have to put JMeter on another machine. It is the one doing all of the processing and JBossAS is hardly doing anything. I am also seeing a lot of kernel time, which usually indicates GC processing. At this time, I let everything run with

OK, if the JBossAS box is running at 85% CPU load, you now have to find the bottleneck there and fix it. I assume when you said earlier that this doesn't max out the server that you consider 85% as not being maxed out. For an app server, actually, it is. Realistically, you don't want to push

Is JMeter running on the same machine as JBossAS? Perhaps JMeter, or the network connection between the JMeter machine and the JBossAS machine, is where the problem is. What processor utilization are you seeing? View the original post :

Thanks for the response. I have ran JMeter from 3 seperate machines (never the same machine as JBoss) both seperately and simulataneously, all with the same cumulative thoroughput of ~50 per second. This led me to believe that the the problem was on the JBoss box. The processor load is around
