I am using below command to execute the test using two slaves where one slave is in same subnet as master and second slave is in different region from Master machine.
Jmeter -Djava.rmi.server.hostname=127.0.0.1 -n -t 192.168.XX.XX:24001,127.0.0.1:24002 -o c:\Users\a106275\Desktop\result1.csv
192.168.XX.XX: Slave in same subnet
127.0.0.1:24002: Slave in different subnet
I am unable to see results from slave 192.168.90.XX which is same region. Can you please help me understand how do I get the results from slave in same region?
As per Special-Use IPv4 Addresses
127.0.0.0/8 - This block is assigned for use as the Internet host
loopback address. A datagram sent by a higher level protocol to an
address anywhere within this block should loop back inside the host.
This is ordinarily implemented using only 127.0.0.1/32 for loopback,
but no addresses within this block should ever appear on any network
anywhere
So double check available IP addresses on the machine, my expectation is that you should be using other interface instead (unless you have master and slave running on the same node)
Your command line is missing -R switch, it should look like:
Jmeter -Djava.rmi.server.hostname=127.0.0.1 -n -t -R 192.168.XX.XX:24001,127.0.0.1:24002 -o c:\Users\a106275\Desktop\result1.csv

I have setup a tunnel through a jump host as such :
ssh -o ProxyCommand='ssh -W %h:%p bastion' -i my-emr.pem -ND 8888 hadoop#ip-my.ec2.internal
bastion is a host I have defined in my ~/.ssh/config
This way I can access ip-my.ec2.internal etc. via a SOCKS5 proxy. I want to test whether this host is accessible via SOCKS5 proxy. Is there a command I can use? I can test if the bastion host is accessible using a command like this :
nc -G 2 -z my-bastion.com 22
Anyway I can extend the above command to test if the end host which is ip-my.ec2.internal?
It looks like all your testing in the nc command is whether port 22 will allow a connection within 2 seconds. That's not the same thing whether you can can make an SSH connection to my-bastion. It doesn't even prove that you can connect to my-bastion at all. It is not uncommon for firewalls to accept connections that they will not pass any data for.
If you want the same level of weak testing you'd do the same thing along the lines of:
ssh bastion nc -G 2 -z ip-my.ec2.internal 8888
There are lots of ways for this to incorrectly return that it is reachable when it isn't, just as there are lots of ways for your other nc command can fail. But it might give you some useful information for managing a UI.
The only way to know that network connection is possible is to attempt the actual network connection you want. As a rule, you should not pre-flight network connections. Just attempt them, and deal with connection errors (which can happen even if your pre-flights pass). If the goal is to avoid long waits, then shorten your timeouts (which will lead to more false-negatives when the network is slow).
I have a single master and 5 slave agents. I am starting my test using the command line option from the master by specifying the slave machines using the -R option.
$JMETER_HOME/current/bin/jmeter -n -t test.jmx -R host1,host2 -l testresult.jtl -Jthreads=$THREADS -Jrampup=$RAMPUP -Jtestduration=$TESTDURATION -JENV=$ENV -e -o ./testreport
I see that the new values that are passed in the command line using the -J switch are not getting applied when the test plan is transferred to the slave machines. Slaves are using only the hardcoded values in the JMX.
According to Jmeter Doc on Overriding Properties Via The Command Line
-J[prop_name]=[value]
defines a local JMeter property.
-G[prop_name]=[value]
defines a JMeter property to be sent to all remote servers.
So, you need to use -G flag for Jmeter property to be sent to all remote servers.
Working on a shell script that takes a machine name as an argument and then determines if the host is on the local network (same network as the machine that ran the script).
How can I get the IP address from the machine name? Once I get that I should be able to compare that IP with the local one to see if they're on the same subnet.
You can use nslookup (http://linux.die.net/man/1/nslookup), dig (http://linux.die.net/man/1/dig) or host (http://linux.die.net/man/1/host) command-line utilities.
For example, here is the result of running host for getting A-records for stackoverflow.com from DNS server:
$ host -tA stackoverflow.com
stackoverflow.com has address 69.59.197.21
What do you mean by local network? subnet or (windows) domain or within LAN?
You may also have a look at traceroute utility.
I've gotten sick of how many steps it takes me to get started in the morning. Yes it only takes me a few minutes to start up my whole environment, but I'd really rather just run a single command on boot-up and be ready to go immediately.
I'm writing an app on Rails connected to SqlServer. To develop for it I have a local version of the DB I use on a VM. My manual process goes like this:
Run VirtualBox.
Start the VM.
When the VM is done booting:
Open terminal
Run `rails s`
When rails is done starting:
open browser
navigate to localhost:3000 and start developing
Run Sublime
I'd love to do this in one script:
VirtualBox Windows7 &
sublime &
google-chrome &
But I can't figure out how to run this command only once the VM is done booting:
gnome-terminal --working-directory=git/my_project --tab -e 'rails s' --tab -e 'git status'
Also, it'd be nice (but not necessary) to have chrome start after rails s has succeeded.
Is this even possible?
I'm not opposed to polling, but it feels like this is something VirtualBox should be able to do a bit more naturally.
EDIT
From Comment:
I'm using Host-Only network with two Bridged Interfaces (one for wireless and one for wired) available. (It allows me to use the VM whether or not I'm connected to a network, and lets me freely switch between wired and wireless without noticing the difference).
Here is how I would do:
In the VM, create a script which will find the default gateway, & keep pinging to it. & add it to user's startup. (needs parsing of ipconfig /all which can be done with vbscript/python.)
In host, look at the network interface between host & VM. Find the default gateway on host (parse route -n output in bash script). Since both use same physical interface, the gateway would be same (assuming NAT & ONE physical interface). Use tcpdump, to wait for the ping packets to the gateway.
"Default gateway" was chosen because that was something host & VM can find out independent of each other. Other alternative was to hard-code host's address.
After the host tcpdump on host exits, it means that the VM is alive & booted upto windows desktop.
I looked into this line of inquiry before, and I think Devil's Pie is the closest you can get to setting that up:
http://burtonini.com/blog/computers/devilspie
You could try starting with this (VBoxManager startvm):
How to automatically start and shut down VirtualBox machines?
and then look at some working scripts to add to your init.d and/or rc.local once your VM is up to finish the rest of the job in order:
Get To Know Linux: The /etc/init.d Directory
I needed to orchestrate something similar. I'm using a Windows VM (guest) as a proxy (it runs a Windows-only corporate VPN client) for my Linux laptop (host). The approach is to fully automate the guest and wait until it's ready:
The host must have no funky routes (yet)
The VM starts and runs a powershell script (via Windows Task Scheduler, run-on-startup) that connects the VPN client and sets up ICS (Internet Connection Sharing, basically routing).
The host now adds funky routes that send some traffic via the VM's host-only interface. If it added these routes too soon, step 2 would not work.
The VM also runs squid (http proxy) and its port is NAT port forwarded from the host, so localhost:3128 actually goes to the guest. So a curl using this proxy goes to the corporate network and indicates whether the guest is fully up and connected.
(Squid is also useful as a backup to this complicated but very convenient mechanism, I can still ssh via corkscrew, etc)
So, I run this script on the host (simplified version shown):
#!/bin/bash
VM=vm #Name of the Virtual Machine
SCRIPT_DIR=/some/dir
PROXY_ADDRESS=localhost:3128
REMOTE_CURL_HOST=any.corporate.hostname
function waitloop() {
echo -n "Waiting to hear from $REMOTE_CURL_HOST "
while ! curl -s -m 5 --proxy $PROXY_ADDRESS $REMOTE_CURL_HOST > /dev/null ; do
echo -n .
sleep 10
done
echo "!"
}
# a separate script that takes down my routes, you may not need this.
bash $SCRIPT_DIR/network-config-vboxnet0.sh down
# error is OK if it's already running
vboxmanage startvm $VM
waitloop && bash $SCRIPT_DIR/network-config-vboxnet0.sh up && echo "Completed"
Essentially, the script waits until curl works through the VM.
I have a small local network. Only one of the machines is available to the outside world (this is not easily changeable). I'd like to be able to set it up such that ssh requests that don't come in on the standard port go to another machine. Is this possible? If so, how?
Oh and all of these machines are running either Ubuntu or OS X.
Another way to go would be to use ssh tunneling (which happens on the client side).
You'd do an ssh command like this:
ssh -L 8022:myinsideserver:22 paul#myoutsideserver
That connects you to the machine that's accessible from the outside (myoutsideserver) and creates a tunnel through that ssh connection to port 22 (the standard ssh port) on the server that's only accessible from the inside.
Then you'd do another ssh command like this (leaving the first one still connected):
ssh -p 8022 paul#localhost
That connection to port 8022 on your localhost will then get tunneled through the first ssh connection taking you over myinsideserver.
There may be something you have to do on myoutsideserver to allow forwarding of the ssh port. I'm double-checking that now.
Edit
Hmmm. The ssh manpage says this: **Only the superuser can forward privileged ports. **
That sort of implies to me that the first ssh connection has to be as root. Maybe somebody else can clarify that.
It looks like superuser privileges aren't required as long as the forwarded port (in this case, 8022) isn't a privileged port (like 22). Thanks for the clarification Mike Stone.
#Mark Biek
I was going to say that, but you beat me to it! Anyways, I just wanted to add that there is also the -R option:
ssh -R 8022:myinsideserver:22 paul#myoutsideserver
The difference is what machine you are connecting to/from. My boss showed me this trick not too long ago, and it is definitely really nice to know... we were behind a firewall and needed to give external access to a machine... he got around it by ssh -R to another machine that was accessible... then connections to that machine were forwarded into the machine behind the firewall, so you need to use -R or -L based on which machine you are on and which you are ssh-ing to.
Also, I'm pretty sure you are fine to use a regular user as long as the port you are forwarding (in this case the 8022 port) is not below the restricted range (which I think is 1024, but I could be mistaken), because those are the "reserved" ports. It doesn't matter that you are forwarding it to a "restricted" port because that port is not being opened (the machine is just having traffic sent to it through the tunnel, it has no knowledge of the tunnel), the 8022 port IS being open and so is restricted as such.
EDIT: Just remember, the tunnel is only open so long as the initial ssh remains open, so if it times out or you exit it, the tunnel will be closed.
(In this example, I am assuming port 2222 will go to your internal host. $externalip and $internalip are the ip addresses or hostnames of the visible and internal machine, respectively.)
You have a couple of options, depending on how permanent you want the proxying to be:
Some sort of TCP proxy. On Linux, the basic idea is that before the incoming packet is processed, you want to change its destination—i.e. prerouting destination NAT:
iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp -i eth0 -d $externalip --dport 2222 --sport
1024:65535 -j DNAT --to $internalip:22
Using SSH to establish temporary port forwarding. From here, you have two options again:
Transparent proxy, where the client thinks that your visible host (on port 2222) is just a normal SSH server and doesn't realize that it is passing through. While you lose some fine-grained control, you get convenience (especially if you want to use SSH to forward VNC or X11 all the way to the inner host).
From the internal machine: ssh -g -R 2222:localhost:22 $externalip
Then from the outside world: ssh -p 2222 $externalip
Notice that the "internal" and "external" machines do not have to be on the same LAN. You can port forward all the way around the world this way.
Forcing login to the external machine first. This is true "forwarding," not "proxying"; but the basic idea is this: You force people to log in to the external machine (so you control on who can log in and when, and you get logs of the activity), and from there they can SSH through to the inside. It sounds like a chore, but if you set up simple shell scripts on the external machine with the names of your internal hosts, coupled with password-less SSH keypairs then it is very straightforward for a user to log in. So:
On the external machine, you make a simple script, /usr/local/bin/internalhost which simply runs ssh $internalip
From the outside world, users do: ssh $externalip internalhost and once they log in to the first machine, they are immediately forwarded through to the internal one.
Another advantage to this approach is that people don't get key management problems, since running two SSH services on one IP address will make the SSH client angry.
FYI, if you want to SSH to a server and you do not want to worry about keys, do this
ssh -o UserKnownHostsFile=/dev/null -o StrictHostKeyChecking=no
I have an alias in my shell called "nossh", so I can just do nossh somehost and it will ignore all key errors. Just understand that you are ignoring security information when you do this, so there is a theoretical risk.
Much of this information is from a talk I gave at Barcamp Bangkok all about fancy SSH tricks. You can see my slides, but I recommend the text version as the S5 slides are kind of buggy. Check out the section called "Forward Anything: Simple Port Forwarding" for info. There is also information on creating a SOCKS5 proxy with OpenSSH. Yes, you can do that. OpenSSH is awesome like that.
(Finally, if you are doing a lot of traversing into the internal network, consider setting up a VPN. It sounds scary, but OpenVPN is quite simple and runs on all OSes. I would say it's overkill just for SSH; but once you start port-forwarding through your port-forwards to get VNC, HTTP, or other stuff happening; or if you have lots of internal hosts to worry about, it can be simpler and more maintainable.)
You can use Port Fowarding to do this. Take a look here:
http://portforward.com/help/portforwarding.htm
There are instructions on how to set up your router to port forward request on this page:
http://www.portforward.com/english/routers/port_forwarding/routerindex.htm
In Ubuntu, you can install Firestarter and then use it's Forward Service feature to forward the SSH traffic from a non standard port on your machine with external access to port 22 on the machine inside your network.
On OS X you can edit the /etc/nat/natd.plist file to enable port fowarding.
Without messing around with firewall rules, you can set up a ~/.ssh/config file.
Assume 10.1.1.1 is the 'gateway' system and 10.1.1.2 is the 'client' system.
Host gateway
Hostname 10.1.1.1
LocalForward 8022 10.1.1.2:22
Host client
Hostname localhost
Port 8022
You can open an ssh connection to 'gateway' via:
ssh gateway
In another terminal, open a connection to the client.
ssh client
