I am trying to use Jmeter behind Company proxy but I am not able to do that.
I have tried following solutions-
Adding Proxy settings via command line
Adding proxy settings via system.properties file
Adding proxy settings in HTTP request in Jmeter in advanced option
None of these solutions worked for me. Is there any solution which I can try?
There are no other ways of setting the upstream proxy for JMeter, you need to figure out what's wrong with your current setup.
Take a look at jmeter.log file and look for any suspicious entries. It might be also a good idea to increase JMeter logging verbosity for the HTTP protocol by adding the next line to log4j2.xml file (lives in "bin" folder of your JMeter installation)
<Logger name="org.apache.jmeter.protocol.http" level="debug" />
JMeter restart will be required to pick up the change.

The Internet Options settings are managed by my company's system administrator.
The Proxy is set to use automatic configuration script (http://proxypac.abcd.com/proxyrouting). I cannot disable this.
I cannot change the proxy to localhost. The above PAC script will override no matter what I try to change.
The IT security does not allow me to install Chrome Blazemeter plugin, or install Badboy, or use Fiddler, or be able to manually change the proxy.
The company's proxy host is proxy.abcd.com and port is 8080, but I don't know how this info will help if the browser is reading the PAC file.
Is there any option for me to record JMeter scripts in the above scenario?
Is there any way for me to create GUI scripts with plenty of data and dynamic values coming back from the server without recording (if recording is not an option in my case)?
You can use a browser which doesn't use operating system proxy settings, a good example is Mozilla Firefox. You need to configure Firefox to use JMeter as the proxy
Once done you can configure JMeter to use your company proxy server by putting the following lines to system.properties file:
http.proxyHost=proxy.abcd.com
https.proxyHost=proxy.abcd.com
http.proxyPort=8080
https.proxyPort=8080
These PAC files don't do any magic, they're normal JavaScript files which are being interpreted by browsers to determine which proxy should be used for which URL. For certain URLs you might not even need to use the proxy. So I would recommend checking whether you really need the proxy for accessing the application you're trying to record, it might be the case you don't need this step #2
I am working on FTP Sampler and connecting with Public FTP Server
"ftp.swfwmd.state.fl.us" for "Get" method.
But JMeter is showing following error in LOG:
Response code: 000 Response message: java.net.UnknownHostException:
ftp.swfwmd.state.fl.us
Please help me out in this problem.
The message indicate host is not known from your machine.
So check your DNS or add manually an entry in your DNS.
Try accessing the server using IP address instead of hostname - 204.76.241.31
If point 1 doesn't help most probably you are sitting behind corporate firewall. For HTTP-based samplers you can specify proxy server details by adding the next lines to system.properties file (lives in "bin" folder of your JMeter installation)
ftp.proxyHost=hostname or IP address of your proxy
ftp.proxyPort=port of your proxy server
if above doesn't help you can try setting the following properties instead:
socksProxyHost=hostname or IP address of your proxy
socksProxyPort=port of your proxy server (normally 1080)
JMeter restart will be required to pick the properties up

I need to perform JMETER TEST and Record a WEB Login Page, my company is behind the proxy. If I change the proxy and port of the Firefox to 8080, My Application doesn't launch.
If I don't change the proxy in Firefox, Then the recorder doesn't record the script.
I tried with IE, Where due to corporate policy, I cant change the policy and it is disabled.
How I get out of this situation?
You need to keep Firefox proxy settings to point to JMeter's HTTP(S) Test Script Recorder, i.e. server name should be localhost, port should be 8888
In its turn JMeter needs to be configured to use your corporate proxy, it can be done in 2 ways:
Via command-line parameters, like:
jmeter -H your_corporate_proxy_host -P your_corporate_proxy_port -n -t ...
this way the change will be applied only once
If you want the changes to be permanent you can add the following lines to system.properties file (located in the "bin" folder of your JMeter installation)
http.proxyHost=your_corporate_proxy_host
http.proxyPort=your_corporate_proxy_port
https.proxyHost=your_corporate_proxy_host
https.proxyPort=your_corporate_proxy_port

Apache JMeter Properties Customization Guide
My company is trying to use JMeter in a VM (Windows Server 2003 :( )with no internet connectivity to hit another VM with a server set up and code running on IIS. I set up the ip address in my hosts file, let's call it server.dev for now. Our goal is to hit server.dev/doSomething When we go into IE and hit server.dev we get a response.
We use a keystore with JMeter and it says that it creates it correctly. In JMeter we have an HTTP Request where we hit the server.dev, and the path is set to /doSomething. JMeter then starts, and the log has no errors, but once it says "Creating the HTTPS Trusall Scheme" it hangs. When I put debug flags on it shows that it created the SOAP Request correctly and seems to send it out. The Headers should all be correct. It hangs here for about 1 minute and then shuts down with error with saying something along the lines of "Could not get response from server".
Does anyone have any ideas on where to go from here? I tried to debug for hours, but got nowhere. I can't seem to load up Fiddler to see the network traffic either, since there is no localhost set up.
Most likely that IE uses proxy and JMeter does not. Try other browser, i.e. Firefox (it doesn't respect system proxy settings if you won't import anything during installation) and if Firefox won't be able to establish the connection - my assumption is correct and you're sitting behind the proxy server.
There is a way to "tell" JMeter to use a proxy server, it is controllable via command-line arguments, to wit:
-H [proxy server hostname or ip address]
-P [proxy server port]
-N [nonproxy hosts] (e.g. *.apache.org|localhost)
-u [username for proxy authentication - if required]
-a [password for proxy authentication - if required]
See Using JMeter behind a proxy guide for details and Full list of command-line options for the full list.
You can also configure proxy settings in system.properties file (which lives under /bin folder of your JMeter installation), add the following lines to it:
http.proxyHost=your.proxy.ip.address.or.host.name
http.proxyPort=your.proxy.port
https.proxyHost=your.proxy.ip.address.or.host.name
https.proxyPort=your.proxy.port
And after JMeter restart everything should work as expected.
See Apache JMeter Properties Customization Guide for more information on JMeter properties and ways of setting and overriding them
I'm new to JMeter and I want to load test a local web application recording test case with JMeter proxy.
I've first followed instruction here http://jmeter.apache.org/usermanual/jmeter_proxy_step_by_step.pdf and all worked fine.
Than:
I launched my web application, say http://localhost:8080/my-application
Setup JMeter web proxy on port 8081
Added an HTTP Request Default to a Thread Group
Addea a Recording Controller
Invoked curl -X GET http://localhost:8081/my-application/index.html
I obtain:
Request are recorded but with wrong parameters, eg. https instead of http
I don't get the requested page with curl, but the exception: org.apache.http.client.ClientProtocolException: URI does not specify a valid host name: https:///my-application/index.html/my-application/index.html
The parameters I've specified in Http Request Default seems to be ingnored? I placed configuration element under HTTP Proxy Server, and tried many settings.
What's going wrong? I missed some basic configuration? I'm using JMeter Proxy in the wrong manner?
Firefox default setting will bypass "localhost, 127.0.0.1" from proxy so your JMeter still not able to record it. You have to empty the "No Proxy for" field, by removing the "localhost, 127.0.0.1". Hope this will help.
Firefox by default does not allow localhost or 127.0.0.1 to be proxied.
You have to modify a setting in about:config
change network.proxy.allow_hijacking_localhost to true
Go To Browser LAN Settings
Make sure "Bypass proxy server for local addresses" is unchecked so that request will hit JMeter proxy server.
Simple steps to be followed for recording in jmeter:
open ur jmeter (contains testplan and workbench in default)
add a threadgroup
add “http request defaults” whic is under config( change the server name i.ethe site u need to record)
add “http proxy server (workbench-rightclick-non testing elements-http proxy server)change the default port 8080 to
someother(eg 9090)
start the proxy server
change the browser settings to manual setup with 9090 port and localhost

I would suggest using Apache's own tutorial on this, it is located here...
JMeter Proxy Tutorial
I see that you say you have followed it, but it may have changed since you used it as some of your steps do not match the current tutorial. Perhaps your version had a bug or you missed a step, because I just double checked it 5 minutes ago and it worked for me and I don't see some of the steps you are talking about above.
I realize you have specific questions about specific errors that you are concerned with, but based on your current unfamiliarity with the process in general, I would abandon the curl part, and just do the basic proxy recording as Apache describes it to get a better general understanding, then take it from there.
The only caveat I would add to their tutorial, they have you create filters to only record certain types of actions, I actually leave those out so it will record all actions, then I just clean it up later.
This way you don't miss anything that could potentially be causing lag because that type of resource was filtered out.
* Now, one thing in your original question, you can try if you have no intention of doing the tutorial, try the browser, not curl, and setup your browser to use a proxy, and make sure the port matches the one you specify in jmeter on the proxy node.
Its very simple to configure. Please have a look to the attached screenshot.
