Re: Flaw in how JMeter runs threads...

2011-09-12 Thread Oliver Erlewein [DATACOM]
The simple answer is you would never do that. You will always have a ramp-up and a ramp-down. You should exclude these phases in your calculations if you need the values under load only. Even if you thread issue were fixed, how would you deal with differing response times? They still affect your

I have run up to three concurrent meter instances on one Linux VM with one CPU and 2GB ram without ever having issues (last 6 years). I don't use the Jmeter built in vertical scaling mechanism but start them timed through shell scripts. As for the changes to the OS you'll need to up your

Going through a proxy issues

Hi all, I have the following situation: I need to go through a proxy for one site only. All the rest is on the LAN. JMeter only allows me to switch a proxy on or off. I use Linux/Ubuntu so I'd need the equivalent of: https_proxy=https://somesite:3128 no_proxy=.test.org export https_proxy

Have a look at this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Percentile The formula is n = (N/100) * p + 1/2 Which would make it the 91th sample when the 1/2 is rounded up. Cheers Oliver -Original Message- From: Jmeter_User [mailto:umesh.hosa...@wipro.com] Sent: Sunday, 21 June 2009 6:37 p.m. To:
