while running J-Meter distributed test on slave machine with single slave user, i am getting below ssl certificate error after selecting 'Remote Start' with slave IP address under 'Run' Menu in master machine.My master and slave machine have Jmeter 5.2 version, connected with same network .
i did below setting before running remote start.
Slave Machine:- server.rmi.ssl.disable =true (commented this property ) and run J-Meter -server Service bat file in slave machine
Master Machine: mention slave ip address in' remote_hosts' for jmeter.properties and save it and run remote start with slave IP address from master machine
Could you please assist me for the same ?
Thanks

The error means that JMeter master cannot securely connect to the slave, most probably you made a typo or did something wrong, like commented the property while it needs to be uncommented
If you need secure communication between master and slave(s) follow steps from Setting up SSL chapter of the Remote Testing chapter of the JMeter User Manual
If you don't need the secure communication add the next line to user.properties file (lives in "bin" folder of your JMeter installation)
server.rmi.ssl.disable=true
Make sure that the property doesn't have # at the beginning and there are no whitespaces at the beginning/end of the line
Make sure to restart JMeter to pick up the property
This has to be done on JMeter master and all the slaves

I am using jmeter 5.4.1, and facing issue while setting up the whole environment for that.
I have firewall in between master and slave machines.
I can request for some ports to open but before that I want to know how to configure them?
What update is needed in jmeter.properties and jmeter-server files to create a JMeter Remote Load Test.
In jmeter.properties nothing, don't touch this file, perform all the configuration either in user.properties or via -J command-line arguments.
Coming back to your question, I believe the official documentation is quite comprehensive, however just in case you cannot or unwilling to read:
In the master:
remote_hosts=ip,addresses,or,dns,hostnames,of,slaves,separated,by,comma
client.rmi.localport=xxxx
In the slave(s):
client.rmi.localport=xxxx
server.rmi.localport=yyyy
If you don't want secure communication between master and slaves - add the next line to both as well:
server.rmi.ssl.disable=true
So in the firewall you need to open these xxxx and yyyy ports

I have a Master machine(192.xxx.x.xx) and Two Slave Machine(192.xxx.x.xx,192.xxx.x.xx).
In the Master Machine jmeter properties file , i added the two salve machine IP.
I run the server.bat file in the Slave Machine respectively.
But one of my slave machine showed an error of Port 1099 Busy.So i changed the port of that particular Salve Machine to 1098 and rerun the server.bat file.
Now when i select Remote Start ALL command in the Master Machine,the Slave Machine in which the port was changed does not execute the Test. But the other slave machine whose port is 1099 successfully executed the test.
Can anybody tell me the exact issue with the other slave machine.
You need to follow changing RMI port steps:
JMeter uses the standard RMI port 1099. It is possible to change this. For this to work successfully, all the following need to agree:
On the server, start rmiregistry using the new port number
On the server, start JMeter with the property server_port defined
On the client, update the remote_hosts property to include the new remote host:port settings
Since JMeter 2.1.1, the jmeter-server scripts provide support for changing the port. For example, assume you want to use port 1664 (perhaps 1099 is already used).
On Windows (in a DOS box)
C:\JMETER> SET SERVER_PORT=1664
C:\JMETER> JMETER-SERVER [other options]
On Unix:
$ SERVER_PORT=1664 jmeter-server [other options]
[N.B. use upper case for the environment variable]
In both cases, the script starts rmiregistry on the specified port, and then starts JMeter in server mode, having defined the "server_port" property.
The chosen port will be logged in the server jmeter.log file (rmiregistry does not create a log file).
I have Set up everything, running Jmeter-Server.bat file in slave system, added IP in Jmeter.properties. It was running before one month properly, but when I am trying to run, Its showing me the Error.
Most probably there is a mismatch between certificates in master and slave(s) or 7 days had passed since the last keystore creation so the certificates are exired now.
Either follow steps from Setting up SSL one more time and make sure to use exactly the same rmi_keystore.jks file on master and all the slaves or define the following property:
server.rmi.ssl.disable=true
This can be done either by adding the above line to user.properties file or alternatively you can provide it using -J command-line argument like:
jmeter -Jserver.rmi.ssl.disable=true ..... - on master
jmeter-server -Jserver.rmi.ssl.disable=true ..... - on slaves

I am trying to run JMeter Webdriver samplers in IE on a remote machine. I have changed remote_hosts to the IP address of the remote machine. JMeter server on the remote machine is also started. When I run the tests from the JMeter GUI on the local machine (Run->Remote Start menu) I can see the command line window in remote machine showing
"Started the test..."
and immediately
"Finished the test..."
So the test runs but nothing actually happens.
I must be missing some configuration.
Can someone please help?
You need to install the same Selenium/WebDriver Support plugin to the remote slave(s). This can be done either by copying the whole JMeter installation to the slave host(s) or using JMeter Plugins Manager on each slave.
You need to download Internet Explorer Driver binary and put it to the same location as on the master host.
In case of any problems check jmeter-server.log file on remote slave - normally it should contain the root cause (or clue on what is wrong)
I setup a distributed load testing environment using JMeter in unbundu machines.
->Master: the system running JMeter GUI, control each slave.
->Slave: the system running jmeter-server, receive command from the master and send a request to server under test.
->Target: the web server under test, get request from slaves.
Basic requirements are done:
-The firewalls on the systems are turned off
-All the planned master and Slaves are in the same subnet
-The JMeter server can access the target.
-Same version of JMeter on all the systems (version 2.3.4 ).
I did the following:
1) Tried pinging form master to slave and vice versa through ubundu terminal. its happening ..
2) Added the following to client (master) jmeter.properties:
# Remote hosts and RMI configuration
remote_hosts=192.168.0.139:1099
# RMI port to be used by the server (must start rmiregistry with same port)
server_port=1099
3) Added the following to server (Slave) jmeter.properties:
# On the server(s)
set server_port=1234
start rmiregistry with port 1234
4) Now started the Jmeter engine on Master.
a) Started Jmeter on master machine (GUI)
b) Created test plan--> (added tread group , samplers and required listners)
c) Now start the Slave(s) from the GUI
-click Run at the top
-select Remote start
-select the IP address
But error popup came as :-
"Connection refused to host : 192.168.0.139; nested exception is : java.net.ConnectionException : Connection Refused"
what may be the reason for not connecting with the remote salve (say here : 192.168.0.139)
DO i need to do any more configuration in jmeter.properties file or in any other files (in both slave and master)?
I think you forgot to start the slave in "slave mode".
In command line mode, go to jmeter/bin directory and execute jmeter-server.bat
That will start the slave process and will keeps it listening for commands.
Then you can go forward, loading amd launching the script.
have a look at:
http://jmeter.apache.org/usermanual/jmeter_distributed_testing_step_by_step.pdf
Also be aware that:
- the two systems MUST run the same Jmeter version
- the two systems MUST be on the same subnetwork
- the two systems SHOULD be as similar as possible: same OS, same directory tree, etc
- "remote_hosts" only require the address. The port is specified by "server_port" parameter.
