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

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

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.
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'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 am using apache-jmeter-2.6. I want to record browser action using HTTP Proxy Server. But The actions are not recording.
I have defined HTTP Request Defaults under Thread Group,I have given value for the server name that looks like this:
http://www.xxxxx.com:81/
And I left the Port Number field empty as it is given with the Server Name.
In HTTP Proxy Server under workbench, I have given the Port value:81 and added ".*.html" in URL Patterns to include.
I have set the proxy server setting in firefox browser with Port:81 and Http Proxy: www.xxxxx.com
Now when I start the proxy server in jmeter and do different actions in my browser, i get nothing in my listener which is 'View Result Tree'.
I have searched for the ApacheJMeterTemporaryRootCA.crt file in different directories of my pc so that I can install it in my browser but did not find it anywhere, seems it is not created.
I have also deleted proxyserver.jks and then tried everything again, but no success.
What am i doing wrong here? How do i fix this?
My java version is 1.8.0_77.
Thank You.
First of all I recommend you to upgrade your JMeter version.JMeter 2.13 version is available.The performance of JMeter is being constantly improved, so users are highly encouraged to use the most up to date version.
Ensure you always read changes list to be aware of new improvements and components. You should absolutely avoid using versions that are older than 3 versions before the last one.
Here is the step by step process of recording browsers action.
Step1: Open your Firefox browser and from Network Connection settings configure the proxy server as HTTP Proxy: 127.0.0.1, Port: 8888
Step2: Run your Jmeter.bat file and open Templates under File dropdown list and click "Create".
Step3: Expand Work Bench and select "HTTP(s) Test Script Recorder". And click "Start" at the bottom of the page.You will have two pop up to Allow Firewall and Temporary Root CA Certification Installation.Allow all those and now go to your browser and do your browser activity.When its done "Stop" the
HTTP(s) Test Script Recorder.
Step4: After this you will get the recorder script in JMeter with all your activity in the browser.It will automatically update under Thread Group.This script will contain all your page requests during browsing activity. Sample script after recording is shown below.
Hope this will work for you.
You need latest JMeter first! Download here.
Check this tutorial on recording.
ApacheJMeterTemporaryRootCA.crt can be found in JMETER_HOME/bin folder.
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!
More details:
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.
