Postman integration with JMeter

I'd like to point out that this current question is a follow-up to an earlier post that talks about using Postman in conjunction with JMeter. That other thread can be found here: Postman script to JMeter script

Anyways, the original thread suggested that JMeter could record the traffic that a Postman collection would trigger by following the below procedures:

1- Launch Postman and setup the proxy server under File>Settings>Proxy to use port as localhost:8087.

2- Launch JMeter tool, open recording template and setup the proxy to use the port '8087' under 'HTTP(S) Test Script Recorder' element (same port that is set in Postman)

3- Now all the API requests that you send in Postman will be captured in JMeter and store under Thread Group>Recording Controller.

I've tried to setup the proxy in Postman but that doesn't work for me (unless I'm missing something).

When I run a collection with no proxy defined, I get the responses just fine. But when I flip the "custom proxy" on (using localhost:8087), I get this error:

Error: tunneling socket could not be established, cause=connect ECONNREFUSED 127.0.0.1:8087

I've gone through some solutions posted on GitHub but with no success. If its any relevant, I'm on Windows 7. Anyone familiar with this behavior?

The error you're getting means that Postman is not capable of connecting to JMeter, so please double check that:

  • HTTP(S) Test Script Recorder is really configured to use port 8087
  • HTTP(S) Test Script Recorder is started

If you would like to start from scratch:

  1. Prepare JMeter for recording. The fastest and the easiest way is using JMeter Templates feature. From JMeter's main menu choose File -> Templates -> Recording and click Create

    enter image description here

  2. Change Port to 8087 and click "Start"

    enter image description here

  3. If you still experience any problems - look into jmeter.log file.
  4. It might also be the case you will need to install JMeter's self-signed certificate into Postman
