The simplest way to run JMeter is to use our all in one bundle.
install Java JRE 8+
download the latest bundle: flood-jmeter-bundle-5.1.1.zip​
unzip the bundle to e.g. ~/flood-jmeter
If you already have JMeter installed, you only need to add the Flood JMeter Plugin to start testing with Flood
download the latest Flood JMeter jar: flood-jmeter-5.1.1.jar.
copy flood-jmeter-5.1.1.jar
to the JMeter extensions directory (i.e. $JMETER_HOME/lib/ext
)
The minimal configuration is:
tools:jmeter:jmeter_home: /path/to/jmeter
tools:jmeter:jmeter_home: C:\Path\To\Jmeter
If required, you can add custom JMeter and JVM parameters:
tools:jmeter:jmeter_home: ~/tmp/jmeterjvm_args: |-Xms512mjmeter_params: |-Jtesting=true​
For JMeter (and all supported tools) - there is the option to use our actual Flood Docker image if you do not wish to setup a local native tool binary install. Simply use the following properties in your config.yaml
to let Flood know that you wish to use Flood's docker container for the respective load test tool instead of your own.
tools:flood-element: truegatling: truejmeter: true
