You cannot "pause" JMeter, the only way to stop it sending the requests is using Constant Throughput Timer <https://jmeter.apache.org/usermanual/component_reference.html#Constant_Throughput_Timer> with a throughput defined via __P() function <https://jmeter.apache.org/usermanual/functions.html#__P> which will allow to control the number of hits per minute using Beanshell Server <https://jmeter.apache.org/usermanual/best-practices.html#beanshell_server>
Check out How to Change JMeter´s Load During Runtime <https://www.blazemeter.com/blog/how-to-change-jmeters-load-during-runtime> article for more details. Alternative option is using Filter Results Tool <https://jmeter-plugins.org/wiki/FilterResultsTool/> to remove the time span when your server was restarting from the .jtl results file. And finally you can suspend/resume any process by means of the operating system, i.e. kill <https://www.man7.org/linux/man-pages/man2/kill.2.html> for Unix and derivatives, DebugActiveProcess <https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/api/debugapi/nf-debugapi-debugactiveprocess> for Windows, etc. -- Sent from: http://www.jmeter-archive.org/JMeter-User-f512775.html --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
