Using JMeter, the HTTP Request is hitting a URL with the port.
Eg : apitesting.com:8888/api/series/one
I have also added a HTTP Test Script Recorder in JMeter, where I can mention the port and domain.
How do I import the incoming traffic to JMeter using tcpreplay and JMeter Proxy for the above example.
Thanks for your help in Advance.
Have you read the FAQ?
Does tcpreplay support sending traffic to a server?
If by server you mean a daemon (Unix) or service (Windows) which listens on a port (a web or mail server would be common examples), then probably not. The biggest issue is that tcpreplay doesn't understand the state of common protocols like TCP. This means it is unable to synchronize Syn/Ack's to create valid TCP sessions.
So you have the following options:
Consider using Wireplay tool instead
Convert your .pcap file into JMeter .jmx script using BlazeMeter JMX Converter
In both cases be aware that you will get only a "skeleton" of the project, you won't be able to replay production traffic, all you will get would be a set of HTTP Request samplers, you will have to figure out the workload model on your own.
In JMeter you can add to your HTTP request a Post Processor Named Response Assertion, If you check the Ignore Status checkbox you will ignore response of the server so even if server is down it'll not fail test and continue.

I have application which has multiple protocols ex. HTTP, SMTP,FTP, When i am trying to Record this application for load testing using JMeter, JMeter captured HTTP requests only, not FTP, SMTP, JMeter does not record multiple protocols?
is there any workaround to add all protocols in load testing,
Thanks in Advance
As of now (JMeter 5.0) JMeter is capable of capturing only HTTP or HTTPS traffic via its HTTP(S) Test Script Recorder (and actually it's reflected in its name)
Given the nature of the FTP and SMTP protocols it's better to mimic the required load using FTP Request and SMTP Sampler correspondingly.
If you have to do the recording you can consider capturing the underlying TCP traffic using low-level sniffing tool like Wireshark and replay it with TCP Sampler or HTTP Raw Request sampler but it is even more complex than going for manual creation of the FTP and SMTP requests as you will have to deal with "raw" TCP traffic which is not that pretty and human-readable.
Alternatively you can consider LoadRunner which is theoretically capable of recording both FTP and SMTP protocols and free for up to 50 virtual users
How to record user input parameters using JMeter? I tried to use the record controller and follow through the tutorials, all the records are only http get requests without any post input. Thanks
Properly configured JMeter captures all network activity between browser and application under test, the fact you don't see POST requests might indicate one of the following:
Browser simply doesn't make any POST requests, i.e. your application is designed to operate only GET HTTP Request types
Your JMeter configuration is not correct, i.e. your application uses HTTPS. In this case you need to perform some extra configuration so JMeter could intercept, decrypt and record HTTPS requests:
make sure your browser is configured to use proxy for all protocols
make sure you install JMeter's self-signed certificate to your browser. The file name is ApacheJMeterTemporaryRootCA.crt and it is being generated in "bin" folder of your JMeter installation when you start JMeter Proxy Server

I am recording our game app using JMeter
And it has an API server, which using the WebSocket's protocol
While meeting that request sent to API server, I always get this message, and can't go further
Is that means I need to modify the original JMeter's source code to walk around this problem? Or any way out? If so, that'd be appreciated.
I don't think you will be able to record and replay WebSocket transport using JMeter's HTTP(S) Test Script Recorder as WebSocket is a different beast, given you have a game application my expectation is that it might be the case application opens a WebSocket connection and re-uses it until the end of session and so you won't be able to mimic this behavior using "normal" HTTP Request samplers as WebSocket assumes either ws or wss protocol.
I would suggest considering one of the following JMeter Plugins:
WebSocket Sampler by Maciej Zaleski
WebSocket Samplers by Peter Doornbosch
Both plugins can be installed using JMeter Plugins Manager:
I have a desktop based(.exe) application used for trading of equities.
1.Developed in VB uses TCP/IP.
2.Uses a database server which is an another server which the exe sends requests on.
3.I want to get the entire response using jmeter for 50 users at a time.
I wanted to record the responses for the transactions.I have worked with web applications where we create Http proxy server and start it and the recording happenes from browser but in this case i cant use browser.
Please guide me how to record the responses in jmeter with .exe applications.
Thanks and Regards,
Kumar
JMeter HTTP(S) Test Script Recorder is capable of recording only HTTP or HTTPS traffic so if following conditions are met:
Your .exe application talks to server using HTTP
Your .exe application can be configured to use HTTP proxy or respects Windows global HTTP Proxy settings from registry (or configured in Internet Explorer)
the answer is "yes", you can use JMeter to record the traffic. See Load Testing Mobile Apps. But Made Easy. guide for details on how to do it.
If one of above conditions cannot be satisfied there are following options available:
If you still want to use JMeter there is a possibility to use a sniffer tool like Wireshark to capture requests and manually construct them using JMeter HTTP Request or TCP Sampler.
Consider switching to Grinder tool which offers TCP Proxy
Hope this helps.
we have an application (client/server) which uses a GUI to communicates to the Tuxedo server. it uses TCP, FTP protocols for communication. can we use JMeter or any other open source tool for that?
JMeter does support both FTP and TCP protocol via FTP Request and TCP Sampler elements provided, so the answer is "yes", you can use JMeter.
You can also find How to Send Control Characters Using the JMeter TCP Sampler guide useful as it's rather common problem and frequently asked question.
However I doubt that JMeter can record TCP-based traffic types. You can try pointing your client application to server via JMeter HTTP Proxy server to see what requests it'll catch.
