How to add parameters to Websocket requests in JMeter? - websocket

How to add the below details to the WebSocket Open connection? (please check the links below)
Is my understanding right - The details in the above Screenshots are to be added to WebSocket Open connection. Following which I can have WebSocket request-response Sampler using the same connection.

Some headers like Sec-WebSocket-Key and Upgrade are being added by the Java
code, you can take a look at WebSocketClient.java file to see which and how. For the others - WebSocket Samplers respect HTTP Header Manager
With regards to request parameters - just add them to the "Path" section
For the headers - they will be added as per Scoping Rules, for the Path - if you decide to use existing connection - it will be propagated

Possible if want to do API Load Testing using JMeter with URI info only?

My team planned to do API Performance Testing using JMeter 5.0 for my client. My client developed the API in Kubernetes. Just wondering, they gave info such as URI, HTTP Method and Content-Type only. We never have experience using URI. Are these info sufficient to do load test in JMeter? And where do I fill in these info? Is it in Config Element: HTTP Header Manager?
Because usually I only do my enablement using sample website which already provide the URL.
Do I need to ask them to provide the specific URL for this? Or URL can be extracted from URI?
Thanks.
Normally you should put:
Protocol, server name or IP and Port Number into HTTP Request Defaults, this way you will have a single configuration element having these details and in case of change you will need to introduce the change at one place only and won't have to revisit each and every HTTP Request sampler
Individual requests are defined using individual HTTP Request samplers where you need to provide URL Path and request body (if any)
Content-Type and other Headers can be provided via HTTP Header Manager, the same Scoping Rules as for HTTP Request Defaults apply, for example if you want to send application/json for all the requests just add HTTP Header Manager on the top of your Test Plan and it will add the header to all HTTP Request samplers which are at the same level as the HTTP Header Manager or lower.

How to manually add WebSocket Header in Jmeter?

I am using jmeter plugin (WebSocket Samplers by Peter Doornbosch) for creating websocket requests manually.
Opening the connection to websocket
I use "Websocket Open Connection" sampler.
Fill all details (server,port,path)
The connection also requires sessionID.
I tried http header manager but it doesn't takes up the header while execution.
SO, is there a way to manually add websocket header to the (Websocket open connection) sampler?
Http Header Manager is the way to go; the sampler picks up all the headers, except the ones that are used by the WebSocket or HTTP protocol itself (e.g. "Host", "Sec-WebSocket-Key"). If your header is called "sessionID", it definitely should work. See also the "Basic request-response sample with Header and Cookie Manager.jmx" example in the samples directory (https://bitbucket.org/pjtr/jmeter-websocket-samplers/src/master/samples/)
Are you 100% sure the sampler did not include the header? Did you check the HTTP GET request with a tool like WireShark?

JMeter Http Header manager doesn't add header to request

I have a JMeter plan using an HTTP sampler that I am trying to add a header to the request. The header should be really simple custom: type
But when I run the test I don't see the header....
What am I missing? Why is my header not showing up in the request?
Update
I also tried this but got the same result.
Your issue is due to wrong scoping of Header Manager.
Either put it as child of Get Session or child of Test plan if it applies to whole Requests of test plan.
Example:
If it fails, it could be due to your User Credentials Pre-Processor (which runs before GetSession request is sent), but as you don't show code.
Another option is that you're seeing redirect request instead of initial one, check your config so that you see the 2 requests:
I had the same issue (When editing the HTTP Header at the thread level it would use my old values) I didn't realize I had a HTTP Header at a lower level as well. So make sure to remove any other instance of HTTP Header manager. I had one at the Thread Group level and the https request level. I deleted the one at the https level and it fixed my issue.

Jmeter - Non HTTP response code: org.apache.http.client.ClientProtocolException

I am getting this error in a sub request while navigating to a site.The sub-request is not captured in the script but I am able to see in Results Tree. Please refer below image for details: enter image description here
Could someone please help me resolve this issue?
You are not load testing fonts.googleapis.com host, are you?
I suggest adding the following entry to "URSs must match" section of your HTTP Request sampler (or better for HTTP Request Defaults)
^((?!googleapis).)*$
This will filter out the calls to googleapis host so you could focus on your application solely.
See Excluding Domains From The Load Test article for more detailed explanation and example on how to exclude several domains.
As i am suspecting "Attached image" URL is not useful for you, and you want to
exclude that So need to uncheck "Retrieve all embedded resources" form each
"HTTP REQUEST" and "HTTP REQUEST DEFAULTS"
The reason why you see this exception - the server terminated TCP connection established between client (your Jmeter) and server (googleapi). So, Jmeter expects correct HTTP answer but receives nothing (TCP RST or FIN flag, you can check it by parsing tcpdump).
Possible reasons:
I don't see any cookies sent within the request. As you said, it's a sub-request. So, it should contain session cookies established by server. You can use HTTP Cookie Manager for that.
Your Jmeter can't establish HTTPS connection (you do use HTTPS in this request). Make sure that all is OK with your certificates/keys.

How to set a connection proxy in JMeter for a single thread group?

There are at least two ways of setting a connection proxy for JMeter, i.e., in the command-line parameters or in the HTTP request defaults. Now I would like to set the connection proxy for a SOAP/xml-rpc request only for a single thread group. At the moment, I see only one option: use a regular HTTP request sampler and set all values required for a SOAP request, e.g., SOAP action, in the headers. In doing so, I can define the proxy settings in the aforementioned HTTP request defaults. Is there another better way to achieve this goal? Thank you!
In the workbench of your testsuite, add an HTTP proxy (Right click on workbench > Non-testing element > HTTP proxy). Within this element, you can set the target controller or test fragment the proxy should be applied to.
