Jmeter as a proxy for a tool

If I use performance metric module of JMeter for calculating network I/O usage and in parallel start a tool and JMeter to generate traffic . Does the network I/O usage that JMeter show me, calculate that tool traffic?

If JMeter does not calculate the tool traffic, please give me solution about proxy JMeter for a tool that generate traffic. in fact I want JMeter to become as a proxy for a tool. In other words, I want to direct a tool traffic to JMeter. How can I do this?

My tool is "OWASP HTTP DOS TOOL".

JMeter can act as a proxy for any tool given:

  • The tool is using HTTP or HTTPS protocols
  • The tool has proxy configuration or respects system-wide proxy settings

Setting up JMeter's HTTP(S) Test Script Recorder is fairly easy and simple, the fastest way to prepare JMeter's proxy is using JMeter Templates feature

  1. From JMeter's main menu choose File -> Templates -> Recording and click "Create" button

    JMeter recording configuration from template

  2. Expand Workbench -> HTTP(S) Test Script Recorder and click Start button

    JMeter start proxy

  3. Configure your tool to use JMeter as a proxy, mind that default JMeter's proxy port is 8888
