I have a requirement to do load test on server which runs behind a proxy. We are using shell script for performing load test(16 concurrent calls).
Please advice if I can port those script to JMeter to do load test behind proxy.
Yes, you can, check out Using JMeter behind a proxy chapter of the JMeter User Manual, the options are in:
Use -H and -P command-line arguments like:
jmeter -H your_proxy_host -P your_proxy_port -n -t test.jmx -l result.jtl
Use http.proxyHost and http.proxyPort Java System properties like:
jmeter -Dhttp.proxyHost=your_proxy_host -Dhttp.proxyPort=your_proxy_port -n -t test.jmx -l result.jtl
You can make the changes "permanent" by adding the next lines to system.properties file (lives in "bin" folder of your JMeter installation)
http.proxyHost=your_proxy_host
http.proxyPort=your_proxy_port
JMeter restart will be required to pick the properties up
For more information on points 2 and 3 see Configuring JMeter and Apache JMeter Properties Customization Guide
How do you know that your proxy will not become the bottleneck for your testing efforts? The least scale-able item in the path will govern the perceived performance of your clients.

I am getting Assertion Failed error while running jmeter script But I have not used assertions in my script.
I was doing Load testing with 500 users and getting Assertion Failure errors
Most probably your script fails to download at least one so called "embedded resources" - image, script, style, font, etc. If you are not interested in the problems with the embedded resources - you can turn JMeter automatic check for HTTP Status code < 400 by adding the next line to user.properties file:
httpsampler.ignore_failed_embedded_resources=true
JMeter restart will be required to pick the property up.
If you don't want the change to be permanent you can pass it on ad-hoc basis using -J command-line argument like:
jmeter -Jhttpsampler.ignore_failed_embedded_resources=true -n -t test.jmx -l result.jtl

I am using the command
jmeter -H proxy -P 4145 -N 10.24.27.57;10.5.213.40;10.5.247.126 -u username -a password
I want to bypass these 3 proxy 10.24.27.57;10.5.213.40;10.5.247.126.
How will it work?
Unfortunately, it won't work. JMeter relies on Java Networking Properties for proxy configuration, which supports only 1 proxy server.
Hard to tell without any further details, but for example you could split your load to 3 machines, each running 1/3 of the load against different proxy.
I have URL which is like this:
https://110.111.72.72:8001?id=username1
when I use the same URL in browser it works fine and return a result but when I use the same in Jmeter I get a 504 Gateway Timeout error.
In my organisation we do have the proxy which I have mentioned in the browser LAN -> proxy server settings.
I have tried many things but none worked please help.
You need to configure JMeter to use the same proxy server your browser is using. It can be done in 2 ways:
Via command-line arguments. In this case you will need to run JMeter as:
jmeter -H your_company_proxy_host -P your_company_proxy_port-u username -a password
Via Java System Network Properties. In this case you will need to add the following lines to system.properties file (located in "bin" folder of your JMeter installation)
http.proxyHost=your_company_proxy_host
http.proxyPort=your_company_proxy_port
https.proxyHost=your_company_proxy_host
https.proxyPort=your_company_proxy_port

Thanks Dmitri T
jmeter -H your_company_proxy_host -P your_company_proxy_port-u username -a password ---- Worked Fine
I didn't try the 2nd option.
Thanks for solving another
unable to Jmeter in distribution load, getting below error please help am using jmter v3.0.20160606
Changing to JMeter home directory
Could not find ApacheJmetercore.jar
Trying JMETERHOME=
Found ApacheJMeter_core.jar
This is expected and normal, now you need to launch a JMeter Master like:
jmeter -R xxxxx -n -t test.jmx -l result.jtl
Replace xxxxx with IP address or hostname of the machine where you launched Slave node, you should see something like:
Starting the test on host xxxxx # current date and time

JMeter Distributed Testing Step-by-step
The first of JMeter Best Practices is Always use latest version of JMeter so consider upgrading to JMeter 3.3 (current version) or whatever will be available at JMeter Downloads page on next available opportunity
Please give me solution for the below error.
Could not find ApacheJmeter_core.jar ... ... Trying JMETER_HOME=.. Found ApacheJMeter_core.jar Created remote object: UnicastServerRef [liveRef: [endpoint:192.168.8.108:50019 ,objID:[-30cb105c:15ca098204b:-7fff, 5736149660821635846]]]
I tried the below way also, am not able to launch
"I just hard coded the path in my jmeter_server.bat."
Am doing testing now.. if any one knows please update here.
This is not an error at all, it means that you successfully launched a JMeter slave which is now waiting for a command from the JMeter master.
So now you need to start JMeter Master using one of the following approaches:
Pass slave IP address via -R command-line argument like:
jmeter -R 192.168.8.108 -n -t test.jmx -l result.jtl
Define remote_hosts JMeter Property by adding the next line to user.properties file on JMeter Master node:
remote_hosts=192.168.8.108

If you need just to open JMeter GUI you will need to launch jmeter.bat script or alternatively directly call java from JMeter's "bin" folder like:
java -jar ApacheJMeter.jar
