I have a web application which is hosted to a proxy server.I need to record some scripts of this web application using Jmeter.
When i set browser proxy to Jmeter localhost:8888 i am unable to access my web application which is hosted on some other proxy server.
I need to set up both proxies at same time in my browser and do recording.
Please help.
If you need to use the proxy in order to access your application you need to let JMeter know your proxy server details. As per Using JMeter behind a proxy user manual entry:
To do so, run the jmeter[.bat] file from a command line with the following parameters:
-H [proxy server hostname or ip address]
-P [proxy server port]
-N [nonproxy hosts] (e.g. *.apache.org|localhost)
-u [username for proxy authentication - if required]
-a [password for proxy authentication - if required]
jmeter -H my.proxy.server -P 8000 -u username -a password
In order to be able to record HTTPS traffic you will need to install JMeter's self-signed certificate into your browser. The relevant file is ApacheJMeterTemporaryRootCA.crt and it's being generated in "bin" folder of your JMeter installation when you start HTTP(S) Test Script Recorder. See HTTPS recording and certificates chapter of the above manual entry for more details and Recording HTTPS Traffic with JMeter's Proxy Server for more details.

How can i use a jmeter as upstream server and burp suite a proxy server.
How can i use a jmeter as upstream server and burp suite a proxy server. Basically i have jmeter script and want to send all apis from jmeter to burpsuite scanner
It's possible to configure JMeter to use an upstream proxy, it can be either Burp or anything else.
It can be done:
On the individual HTTP Request sampler level:
Using HTTP Request Defaults
Via command-line arguments:
jmeter -H localhost -P 8080
Via system.properties file
http.proxyHost=localhost
http.proxyPort=8080
https.proxyHost=localhost
https.proxyPort=8080
More information: Using JMeter behind a proxy
I try to record my test with jmeter. So I configure my JMeter Script Recorder to use the port 8080. In my browser, i set the proxy to localhost 8080.
I my system.properties file, I set the proxy of my firm.
When I start the recorder and try to go on my site, I've the following error "Connexion reset". When I try to go on google I've the following error "content encoding error".
Do you have any Idea ?
HTTP Error 401 stands for Unauthorized so my expectation is that your corporate proxy required valid credentials. As per Using JMeter behind a proxy article you can pass username and password via -u and -a command-line arguments correspondingly.
-H [proxy server hostname or ip address]
-P [proxy server port]
-N [nonproxy hosts] (e.g. *.apache.org|localhost)
-u [username for proxy authentication - if required]
-a [password for proxy authentication - if required]
So you need to start JMeter like:
jmeter -H your_corporate_proxy_host -P your_corporate_proxy_port -u username -a password
Alternative option is using JMeter Chrome Extension, in this case you won't need to worry about setting up proxies and SSL certificates.
I am new to jmeter and am using jmeter 2.9.
I am having a WIFI connectivity and I am using "Automatically detect settings" in browser. As part of jmeter I am changing that option and am entering proxy server as "localhost" and port as 8080( same as in jmeter http proxy server value). But with this setting no pages are getting loaded and jmeter is not recording.
Please suggest how to proceed.
Thanks in advance.
It looks like you're sitting behind corporate proxy. JMeter is not able to automatically detect proxy settings to you need to configure it to use the proxy as well. Here are available parameters:
-H, --proxyHost <argument>
Set a proxy server for JMeter to use
-P, --proxyPort <argument>
Set proxy server port for JMeter to use
-N, --nonProxyHosts <argument>
Set nonproxy host list (e.g. *.apache.org|localhost)
-u, --username <argument>
Set username for proxy server that JMeter is to use
-a, --password <argument>
Set password for proxy server that JMeter is to use
See Using JMeter behing a proxy guide for additional information.
There is another option: JMeter Chrome Plugin which doesn't require any extra proxy configuration and you can record tests right from the browser.
I just start learning JMeter. I'm trying to use JMeter to record my company websites, .NET web application.
My issue is that: For security, to access the websites, we have to config "Manual proxy configuration" to 10.x.x.x:3128. However, to record in JMeter I have to change the config to localhost, port 3128.
After I changed the config to localhost, I click Start button of HTTP Test Script Recorder then I click on any link, the Authorization dialog displays and I keep getting 401 unauthorized error although I enter correct username/password.
I tried to use HTTP Authorization Manager, HTTP Request Defaults or HTTP Request but they do not work.
Could anyone help me out?
If your company uses proxy for Internet access you can "tell" JMeter to use this proxy as well. So you need to perform the following configuration:
Configure JMeter to use your proxy to access Internet via following command-line arguments (as per documentation):
If you are testing from behind a firewall/proxy server, you may need to provide JMeter with the firewall/proxy server hostname and port number. To do so, run the jmeter[.bat] file from a command line with the following parameters:
-H [proxy server hostname or ip address]
-P [proxy server port]
-N [nonproxy hosts] (e.g. *.apache.org|localhost)
-u [username for proxy authentication - if required]
-a [password for proxy authentication - if required]
Example : jmeter -H my.proxy.server -P 8000 -u username -a password -N localhost
Add HTTP(S) Test Script Recorder with default port of 8080 (or any other)
Configure your browser to use JMeter host and port 8080 for accessing Internet. If there is No proxy for localhost, 127.0.0.1 stanza somewhere in browser's proxy configuration - untick or remove it in case of running browser and JMeter on the same machine. "Classic" Firefox configuration should look something like:
It may be easier to use JMeter Chrome Extension, in that case you don't need to worry about proxy settings, SSL certificates and associated configuration, cookies, etc.
I'm new to jmeter.
I'm trying to test a web app using proxy server.
I have gone through the jmeter docs and got the settings but I'm currently working under company proxy.
So how can I set the proxy server for jmeter from behind the current proxy?
Read :
https://jmeter.apache.org/usermanual/get-started.html#proxy_server
If you are testing from behind a firewall/proxy server, you may need to provide JMeter with the firewall/proxy server hostname and port number.
To do so, run the jmeter.bat/jmeter file from a command line with the following parameters:
- '-H' [proxy server hostname or ip address]
- '-P' [proxy server port]
- '-N' [nonproxy hosts] (e.g. *.apache.org|localhost)
- '-u' [username for proxy authentication - if required]
- '-a' [password for proxy authentication - if required]
Example :
jmeter -H my.proxy.server -P 8000 -u username -a password -N localhost
Alternatively, you can use --proxyHost, --proxyPort, --username, and --password

Change Port and Proxy on JMeter 5.0
used the Proxy and the Port below Just as example , it was origenal answer for this question - Cannot capture jmeter traffic in fiddler
UI Mode
Create Thread Group --> HTTP Request
Go to Advanced fill "Server Name or IP:" = 127.0.0.1 , "Port Number:" = 8888
Non UI MODE
Add to your command -H 127.0.0.1 for Proxy Host
-P 8888 for Proxy port
Example:
C:\jmeter5.0\bin>jmeter -n -t C:\example.jmx -l C:\scriptresults.jtl -H 127.0.0.1 -P 8888
