I'm creating a record using post method from one user & verifying record with another user using Get method so for this I need 2 different tokens so what I did that I have used one Header Manager at the thread level & another Header Manager at HTTP-Request level now problem is that when I am running this Get API will get called & in the request header token of both user is getting passed. Can anyone know how to handle this?
If you need separate Header Manager per HTTP request, put each Header Manager under each HTTP request and not on thread level so it only affect the relevant request
HTTP Header Manager obeys JMeter Scoping Rules, so if you place it at the same level as Samplers - it will be applied to all Samplers.
If you add a HTTP Header Manager as a child of the Sampler - it will be applied to that Sampler only.

I am working on my test plan in JMeter but I am struggling with passing bearer token to all the requests.
I managed to set bearer as variable and pass it to another request but... I don't want to add a new Header Manager to every new HTTP Request created.
Whenever I am trying to use one Header Manager to the whole thread group, the request which is responsible for getting the auth token is failing because it uses the created bearer variable as well.
So summarizing:
I want to use one Header Manager for my whole Thread Group. How to structure should look like.
In the attachment, I am adding my current test plan structure.
Just move the Login /get Token out of the HTTP Header Manager scope
For example add a Simple Controller which does nothing apart from being a container for other test elemements and move your HTTP Header Manager and HTTP Request Samplers there:
Something like:
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.
For my application when I record , each HTTP request has required Headers that are maintained at individual HTTP Header Manager.
Now an Authentication token is also managed in the Header manager for every request after login. For multiple users I pass variable for this Authentication token. To make this happen I need to edit in every Header(or I do it opening jmx file in Notepad++ and then replacing all). But is there any way like using a global HTTP header manager that will override over Sample lever Headers.
As per Using JMeter's HTTP Header Manager article:
JMeter now supports multiple Header Managers.
The header entries are merged to form the list for the sampler. If an entry to be merged matches an existing header name, it replaces the previous entry, unless the entry value is empty in which case any existing entry is removed. This allows one to set up a default set of headers, and apply adjustments to particular samplers.
If you don't like the situation you can uncheck "Capture HTTP Headers" box in the HTTP(S) Test Script Recorder
If all headers are same throughout the script then you can remove all individual headers which are currently child of http request samplers and keep only one header manager outside of all request which will act as a global header manager and it will pass values to all requests
I am testing particular application using JMeter 2.9.There My test plan is Thread group--> Transaction Controller.Inside that various recorded requests are there.I am using HTTP request defaults,HTTP Cookie manager and HTTP header manager,and a view result tree for validation.I found one token i.e. CSRF token to be correlated and I did correlation.But for a particular request I am finding "Session expired..Login again" response much before the logout request.My transaction flow is to Login--> Search a content-->Logout.
Please help me finding a solution.
Try put the element: HTTP Cookie Manager in Thread Group, first item.
the problem can be in the following areas:
-you were redirected automatically instead of following redirects
-login hasn't succeeded
-the session id has not been successfully passed on to the request after login
The JMeter documentation states this:
I've set up JMeter to sample the same URLs as my browser, why is JMeter not seeing the same responses?
There are various different reasons for this:
Cookies - make sure you added a Cookie Manager. Browsers process cookies unless you set them up otherwise, but JMeter does not process cookies unless you add a Cookie Manager.
User-Agent - the User-Agent is a header that is sent by browsers; it identifies the browser type. Some servers are sensitive to this setting and generate different results for what they think are different browsers. The Header Manager is used to add headers such as User-Agent.
Hidden fields - if you did not use the JMeter Proxy (or other application) to record the test plan, then it is easy to miss hidden fields from forms.
Dynamic field names/content - some servers use varying names for fields. So although the test plan may be correct at the time of creation, it does not work when replayed.
URL rewriting - TBA

I recorded a web page using JMeter which has produced several samplers. Each of those samplers (http request) has a config HTTP Header Manager. Is it really necessary to have that for each sampler or can I just maintain one at the thread group level. Of course some of those Headers have referer header element and some don't.
You don't need one header per request, unless each request need a unique header.
You may not even need ONE at the threadgroup / test plan level, unless you are wanting to specify header information.
When you record, there is a checkbox in the HTTP Proxy to toggle capturing these.
It is enough one Header Manager per Thread. See documantation http://jmeter.apache.org/usermanual/component_reference.html#HTTP_Header_Manager
