JMeter Monitoring Issues

I'm not getting the results I expect when I use JMeter to monitor my server. Here's how I set up my monitoring:

  1. Add a Thread Group element.
    • The Thread Group tells JMeter the number of threads you want. Always use 1, since we are using JMeter as a monitor. This is very important for those not familiar with server monitors. As a general rule, using multiple threads for a single server is bad and can create significant stress.
    • Change the loop count to forever (or some large number) so that enough samples are generated.
  2. Add the HTTP Authorization Manager to the Thread Group element.
    • (Add –> Config element –> HTTP Authorization Manager).
    • Enter the username and password for your webserver.
    • Important note: the monitor only works with Tomcat5 build 5.0.19 and newer.
    • Leave the base URL blank
  3. Add the HTTP Request to the Thread Group element
    • (Add –> Sampler –> HTTP Request).
    • Select the HTTP Request element in the tree and edit the following properties:
      • Change the Name field to “Server Status”.
      • Enter the IP address or Hostname
      • Enter the port number
      • Set the Path field to “/manager/status” if you’re using Tomcat.
      • Add a request parameter named “XML” in uppercase. Give it a value of “true” in lowercase.
      • Check “Use as Monitor” at the bottom of the sampler
  4. Add a Constant timer to this thread group.
    • (Add –> Timer –> Constant Timer)
    • Enter 5000 milliseconds in the “Thread Delay” box.
      • In general, using intervals shorter than 5 seconds will add stress to your server.
      • Find out what is an acceptable interval before you deploy the monitor in your production environment.
