JMeter error : java.net.SocketException: Unexpected end of file from server - jmeter

I have read and tried the solutions shared in the previous posts for this error but nothing helped me to fix this. Kindly help.
I am making a HTTPS API call. A very simple call which accepts a 2 KB JSON message via POST method and sends a one word acknowledgement. It works perfectly fine in Postman tool. In JMeter, no. of threads (users) is kept as 25. It works perfectly fine one time with all 25 success response and at times getting few failure response as
Response code: Non HTTP response code: java.net.SocketException
Response message: Non HTTP response message: Unexpected end of file from server
No consistency at all. I have also tried with both enabling and disabling "use keepalive" checkbox. Both giving me all success one time ; few/all failure at another time with the above error. Please help. Thank you.
Below are the JMeter settings:
HTTP Header Manager : Content-Type - application/json
HTTPRequest sampler : protocol - HTTPS
Server Name or IP : project server name
Method : POST
PATH : The required path with https authentication details passed as parameters
IMPLEMENTATION : Set to JAVA (HTTPCLIENT4 was giving me “443 failed to respond” error)

Add header
Connection Keep-Alive

Both errors (Java implementation and Apache HTTPClient4 implementation), are essentially saying the same thing: The server closed the connection, without providing any response. I think there could be the following reasons:
Authentication problem. If server side checks authentication before processing a request (e.g. using Spring), it may be rejecting your request, it may be not bothering with any response if authentication is not considered correct.
Request Issue. Some less noticeable properties of the request you send via Jmeter are different from what you send in Postman. It could be some minor thing with formatting, or some headers server expects. Some of such inconsistencies can also cause Load Balancer (if you use one) to reject request before it's delivered to the server.
Certificate issues. Since you are using HTTPS, you need to make sure your certificate is setup correctly on JMeter side.
So I suggest:
Review server logs and see if your request makes it to the server. If yes, you might be able to see how it was rejected. If not, you need to trace back and see who rejected it (LB, authentication, etc)
Compare headers and body sent by JMeter vs Postman line to line (use TCPDump for example to obtain it).

JMeter & socket.io - I can see the message I want, but the socket plugin is not showing what I expect

Here is the socket message I see in the browser debugger console:
More illustrative, perhaps:
I call an API operation that triggers this message over a socket.
What I Tried
To preclude inaccuracies, I started 2 instances of JMeter.
REST API call.
Revised version of the GitHub JMeter example of sockets.io, in which I just call a WebSocket Sampler repeatedly on wss://events.dev.myserver.com:443/socket.io/?EIO=4&transport=websocket.
I kicked off (2).
While that was running, I kicked off (1).
Expected
Eventually, (1) should show me a sampler in the View Results Tree with the message in the screenshot ("42" - GAME_STARTED)
Actual
The only messages I see look like this:
This is really all I want to do: run the appropriate sampler, a sufficient time after making the API call, to get the message.
Update
We succeeded in finding the message using python-socketio:
sio.connect("https://events.dev.server.com", transports='websocket',
headers={'Sec-WebSocket-Extensions: permessage-deflate', 'Sec-Fetch-Dest: websocket',
'Sec-Fetch-Mode: websocket',
'Cookie: ABCSESSIONDEV=NTI3MzkwNWUtMTJmNS00Y2U0LTk1NGUtMjQ2Mzk5OTYxZWE0'})
And here is the output:
Received packet MESSAGE data 2["message","{\"locationId\":110,\"name\":\"GAME_STARTED\",\"payload\":{\"id\":146724,\"boxId\":2002,\"userId\":419,\"createdAt\":\"2022-03-02T14:35:31\",\"lastModifiedAt\":\"2022-03-02T14:35:36.752\",\"completedAt\":\"2022-03-02T14:35:36.621\",\"activationMethod\":\"TAG\",\"nfcTagId\":\"xxxxxx\",\"gameCount\":1,\"app\":false}}"]
I would like to use the websocket plugin to do this in JMeter now.
tried adding Cookie to WebSocket call - only sids, no messages.
tried adding Cookie to an HTTPS request (like the above code) - 400, bad request.
Take a look at other fields of the HTTP Request, in particular HTTP Headers, most probably your JMeter request is missing some essential information.
My expectation is that in order to "start the game" (whatever it means) you need to open the page in the browser, authorize somehow, follow the steps of the protocol upgrade mechanism, etc. to wit exactly mimic what real browser does, all the request sequence which is prior to starting the game.
You might need to correlate dynamic parameters, add HTTP Header Manager, add HTTP Cookie Manager, etc.

Jmeter , I'm facing 403 error when i try to run a login test

enter image description here
I used the Regular Expression Extractor for the tokens, but the 403 forbidden error keeps displaying.-check the screenshoot
Seems some missing configuration issue.
Can you please make sure:
You have HTTP Cookie Manager added to your Test Plan
If your application is protected with external authentication system like Basic HTTP Authentication, NTLM or Kerberos you need to handle it properly using HTTP Authorization Manager
Can you try :
Adding HTTP Header Manager and authorization with Basic encoded
one screenshot of the failed response headers doesn't tell the full story, you need to show us:
Successful request URL, body (if any) and headers (you can get it from browser developer tools)
Failing request from JMeter URL, body (if any) and headers from the View Results Tree listener
As per HTTP Status Code 403 description:
The HTTP 403 Forbidden client error status response code indicates that the server understood the request but refuses to authorize it.
This status is similar to 401, but in this case, re-authenticating will make no difference. The access is permanently forbidden and tied to the application logic, such as insufficient rights to a resource.
If you can successfully execute the same scenario using browser and cannot using JMeter - most probably it's due to missing or improperly implemented correlation, try recording the same steps one more time and compare generated scripts, all values which are different needs to be properly worked around

Response code: 503 Response message: Service Unavailable

I have given two url in csv file and trying to load that in jmeter. I am getting 503 response code.
As per HTTP 503 status code description
The HyperText Transfer Protocol (HTTP) 503 Service Unavailable server error response code indicates that the server is not ready to handle the request.
Common causes are a server that is down for maintenance or that is overloaded. This response should be used for temporary conditions and the Retry-After HTTP header should, if possible, contain the estimated time for the recovery of the service.
Note: together with this response, a user-friendly page explaining the problem should be sent.
Caching-related headers that are sent along with this response should be taken care of, as a 503 status is often a temporary condition and responses shouldn't usually be cached.
So I can think of at least 3 possible issues:
Your server is really overloaded, you can try checking Response Data tab of the View Results Tree listener - if you're lucky - you will the the aforementioned "user-friendly page explaining the problem"
Your request is malformed and server is sending 503 response instead of 4xx which indicates client-side error. Double check what URL(s) you're trying to open by looking into Request tab of the View Results Tree listener and try to open it in the browser. If you're building the URL from parts (i.e. host, port, protocol, query string, etc.) - you might want to check if the values are correctly read from the CSV file using Debug Sampler
I fail to see HTTP Header Manager in your Test Plan, some servers check the client Headers, for example User-Agent or Accept and may report an error if the required header is missing (i.e. indicating that the browser is not supported)

Jmeter - Internal server error 500 in jmeter response code

I have recorded script in jmeter V3.3 via IE browser and then done correlation. When I run this script, then it is receiving internal server error 500 in response, however it works fine manually in IE browser and also while recording this scenario, it does not occur.
I also cross verified Header manager with Request Headers in network IE F12 Developer tool and it is uptodate.
Sampler Request
Http Get Request
It is simply Get request. I really appreciate for your help to handle this error in jmeter.
I hope you have compared both Request Headers one from IE Browser and from JMETER request headers to check if anything is not missing to pass. And also along with any dynamic id is not missing.
You are likely not checking for expected results with each step. As a result, you are receiving an HTTP 200 correct response page prior to your HTTP 500, but the content of the page is out of context with the expected results for the business process. When you make your next request the state of the application is not appropriate to your request. As an unhandled condition by the developer you are greeted with an HTTP 500 screen dump.
Most likely cause: Unhandled dynamic data component.

Jmeter - Non HTTP response code: org.apache.http.client.ClientProtocolException

I am getting this error in a sub request while navigating to a site.The sub-request is not captured in the script but I am able to see in Results Tree. Please refer below image for details: enter image description here
Could someone please help me resolve this issue?
You are not load testing fonts.googleapis.com host, are you?
I suggest adding the following entry to "URSs must match" section of your HTTP Request sampler (or better for HTTP Request Defaults)
^((?!googleapis).)*$
This will filter out the calls to googleapis host so you could focus on your application solely.
See Excluding Domains From The Load Test article for more detailed explanation and example on how to exclude several domains.
As i am suspecting "Attached image" URL is not useful for you, and you want to
exclude that So need to uncheck "Retrieve all embedded resources" form each
"HTTP REQUEST" and "HTTP REQUEST DEFAULTS"
The reason why you see this exception - the server terminated TCP connection established between client (your Jmeter) and server (googleapi). So, Jmeter expects correct HTTP answer but receives nothing (TCP RST or FIN flag, you can check it by parsing tcpdump).
Possible reasons:
I don't see any cookies sent within the request. As you said, it's a sub-request. So, it should contain session cookies established by server. You can use HTTP Cookie Manager for that.
Your Jmeter can't establish HTTPS connection (you do use HTTPS in this request). Make sure that all is OK with your certificates/keys.
