Postman Collection that i run
isnt appearing in jmeter
i changed the proxy in postman and jmeter
but still im facing the same problem
Make sure to start the HTTP(S) Test Script Recorder, you need to click the "Start" button
If your Postman test is using HTTPS protocol - you will additionally need to install JMeter's certificate into postman
the file is called ApacheJMeterTemporaryRootCA.crt and it's being generated in "bin" folder of your JMeter installation when you start the HTTP(S) Test Script Recorder
Configure Postman to use JMeter as the proxy:
Assuming all above steps are successfully implemented you should be able to record the Postman collection execution in JMeter. See How to Convert Your Postman API Tests to JMeter for Scaling article for more comprehensive instructions if needed
add ssl certificate
configure the proxy
if computer have something like special vpn or work vpn, close it

I just started learning JMeter today. Wrote a simple web test - 10 user, 1 iteration to hit a webpage,
but in the "view result tree" I get "JMeter Response code: Non HTTP response code: java.net.UnknownHostException"
Thanks in advance for helpers
Most probably you're behind a corporate proxy, your computer is not connected directly to the Internet, it is connected via special machine which grants Internet access to other computers over the network.
You need to make JMeter aware of this proxy, it can be specified at
"Advanced" tab of the HTTP Request sampler (or even better HTTP Request Defaults)
Via command-line arguments like:
jmeter -H your-proxy-host -P your-proxy-port
Via system.properties file like:
https.proxyHost=your-proxy-host
https.proxyPort=your-proxy-port
More information: Using JMeter behind a proxy
You might give a try using Chrome Plugin of Blazemeter.
Add Blazemeter Plugin to Chrome (You need to create free account on Blazemeter)
Record sample script
Download Script as .JMX
Try executing the script from your local version of JMeter
This helps with automatically recording browser proxies.
I'm able to login into the OKTA application, when I'm NOT recording the jmeter script using jmeter's proxy server(using Test Script Recorder). But, as soon as I setup my browser to use jmeter's proxy server (Test Script Recorder) for recording, I'm NOT able to login into the application itself. I see error "Please try your request later.The system is having techical difficulties". But the application works fine without proxy and i am able to login to OKTA application.
Steps:
Open jmeter. In test paln add test script recorder and change the browser IE Lan settings port to 8888 which is specified in the recorder.
Launch Application.
Give username and click on next
Error is encountered. "Please try your request later.The system is having techical difficulties"
But it works fine when i launch the application without any proxy.
Most probably you need to import JMeter's self-signed certificate into your browser, the file is called ApacheJMeterTemporaryRootCA.crt and it's being generated in "bin" folder of your JMeter installation when you start JMeter proxy server.
See HTTPS recording and certificates chapter of the HTTP(S) Test Script Recorder documentation for more detailed explanation.
Remember when something goes wrong most probably you can find a clue in jmeter.log file
There is an alternative way of recording a JMeter test: JMeter Chrome Extension, in this case you won't have to worry about proxies and certificates, just execute your use case in browser and once done you will be able to export the recorded script in form of JMeter .jmx file
This probably is due to the way Jmeter is parsing(and resending) the OKTA data(token, response etc.).The data parsed and sent by Jmeter proxy is unacceptable by the server and hence the error.Try saving the .har and then convert to jmx for jmeter use and see the difference.
Using Jmeter extension on Chrome might help too for recording.
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:
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
Change Port to 8087 and click "Start"
If you still experience any problems - look into jmeter.log file.
It might also be the case you will need to install JMeter's self-signed certificate into Postman
The current state of my JMeter setup and test plan is:
JMeter 5
Certificate Authority generated and imported into Firefox.
Checked that the port # in the HTTP(S) Test Script Recorder matches that in the proxy server set up in Firefox.
Have added a Recording Controller to my Thread Group.
Have added Cache and Cookie Managers to my Thread Group.
When I start the proxy server, i.e., Start the HTTP(S) Test Script Recorder, I can walk the example application I'm testing - including HTTPS requests. (And if the HTTP(S) Test Script Recorder is not started I get "The proxy server is refusing connections" message from Firefox.)
I have ensured that the selected Target Controller in the HTTP(S) Test Script Recorder is a recording controller I've added to my Thread Group.
No Sampler/Requests are being added under the Recording Controller.
Has anyone else encountered a situation in JMeter in which the proxy server seems to be working correctly but no sampler/requests are actually being recorded? And even if this case is novel, do you have any suggestions? Thank-you in advance for your advice.
Take a look at jmeter.log file - if there is an issue with your setup you should get some clues regarding what's wrong from there. It is also a good idea to add the next line to log4j2.xml file:
<Logger name="org.apache.jmeter.protocol.http.proxy" level="debug" />
it will increase log level verbosity for the HTTP(S) Test Script Recorder
Make sure your Firefox is configured to use the proxy for all protocols and there are no exclusions for localhost, 127.0.0.1 or your IP address/hostname
Try clearing your browsing history as it might be the case "stale" certificate is still present or something is cached.
As the last resort be aware of an alternative way of recording a JMeter test using JMeter Chrome Extension - in this case you will not have to worry about proxies and SSL certificates.
You shouldn't create your own Test Script Recorder script, simply because you can make mistakes, just use predefined JMeter's template
Choose Menu: File -> Templates
(Recording is selected) Click Create
Your Recording script is set
you need to add ApacheJMeterTemporaryRootCA certificate in your firefox by setting
Go to tools > option > Certificate > View Certificate > import certificates.
Now restart the firefox.
just a late reply but facing same issue...
Have you tried to clean the 'URL Patterns to include' in HTTP(S) Test Script Recorder ?
It did work for me and could record was the proxy was not recording.
I'm using Apache JMeter 2.3, which now supports "attempt HTTPS spoofing" under the Proxy Server element.
I've tried this on several different servers, and have had no success.
Has anyone been able to successfully record from an HTTPS source with this setting?
Or barring successfully recording, can anyone share a work-around? When available, I simply have HTTPS turned off at the server level, but this is not always feasible. Thoughts?
Starting from JMeter 3.0 default port for the HTTP(S) Test Script Recorder is 8888
The easiest way to configure recording is using JMeter Templates feature. From JMeter's main menu select:
File -> Templates -> Recording -> Create
Don't forget to start the recorder :
In JMeter < 4.0, Expand "Workbench", if >= 4.0, ignore this step
Select "HTTP(S) Test Script Recorder"
Click "Start" button
You will see a message regarding Root CA Certificate. Click OK:
it is OK, it informs you JMeter has created a Root Certificate Authority that you need to import in your browser to be able to record correctly HTTPS traffic.
To Import this Root CA certificate in Firefox (it is located in jmeter/bin folder) for example:
Configure browser to use JMeter as proxy:
It is now Ok.
You can navigate to your application, samplers will be created under "Recording Controller" which is under "Thread Group" element
While the JMeter proxy already has the ability to record HTTPS requests, a Chrome Extension that creates JMeter script came out recently:
https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/blazemeter-the-load-testi/mbopgmdnpcbohhpnfglgohlbhfongabi?hl=en
It uses a BlazeMeter as the middleman (a commercial JMeter in the cloud service) but you can use their free service forever and still use the plugin to record a JMX script and download it locally to your own machine even if you never use any of the paid plans.
What I do is:
Go to my website using my web server's IP-address (i.e. http://2.2.2.2/login.html)
Start the recorder and run through my test case
Stop recording
Replace all values of the IP address with the domain name (i.e. replace 2.2.2.2 with yoursite.com) from the HTTP Request Samplers
Set the protocol to https in the HTTP Request Samplers
If you have more than a few pages, it's easiest to create an HTTP Request Defaults item, and set your domain name and protocol there.
FYI, I'm using the latest stable build as of 2010-05-24: Jmeter 2.3.4 r785646.
The newest version of Jmeter (2.4) now supports HTTPS recording. Rejoice!

http://wiki.apache.org/jmeter/JMeterFAQ#Can_JMeter_record_HTTPS_requests_using_the_recording_proxy.3F
Is there any other way to record HTTPS than Bad boy and Https spoofing?
Yes--use a nightly build of JMeter, e.g. version r922204.
Https recording is successfully working in new version of Jmeter 2.9 as of today. I had to import proxy certificate and play around with Firefox to get this working.
Refer this link for more information
Https recording using Jmeter
Yes, I have used it with "attempt HTTPS spoofing" on. Things are simple enough:
Turn HTTPS Spoofing on (of course).
Make sure that the browser sends Http request to Jmeter, so that Jmeter can record it and then send the encrypted request back to the server. So, the URL in the browser should start with http:// (and not with https://). The details could be found in my blog.
Please let me know if it works for you.
I am using Webscarab to record https and ajax conversations.
It workd fine. I extended the Webscarab with export function for Jmeter.
