Database connection for JDBC request on jmeter - jdbc

Question

For JDBC request on Jmeter I have configured properly Database Connection Configuration with giving
Database Url- jdbc:mysql://developmentdb.cwwxeukesrtn.ap-southeast-1.rds.amazonaws.com;Development_DB
JDBC Driver Class- com.mysql.jdbc.Driver
Username-...
Password-...
then I create a JDBC request with Select Statementbut after run this request,on the response message got this message-
Response message:
java.sql.SQLException: Cannot create PoolableConnectionFactory (Communications link failure The last packet sent successfully to the
server was 0 milliseconds ago. The driver has not received any packets
from the server.)
Now my question is , how to solve this problem?

Answer 1

You need two basic things to get that done:
Tunneling
mysql.jdbc jar in JMeter lib folder.
For 1st:
Open Putty
Go to Connection >> SSH >> Tunnels
Put down the details as port: 9876
Put down the details as database URL (present in the application config file), e.g:
jdbc:mysql://developmentdb.cwwxeukesrtn.ap-southeast-.rds.amazonaws.com;Development_DB
Add it
Open JMeter >> Add JDBC Connection Configuration
Use DataBase URL as jdbc:mysql://localhost:9876 and the
other details as shown in the picture, like JDBC driver Class

Answer 2

Looking into Driver/Datasource Class Names, URL Syntax and Configuration Properties for Connector/J article:
I believe you need to replace the semicolon before Development_DB with a slash like:
jdbc:mysql://developmentdb.cwwxeukesrtn.ap-southeast-1.rds.amazonaws.com/Development_DB
For more information on databases load testing see The Real Secret to Building a Database Test Plan With JMeter article.
You might also need to open port 3306 in your operating system firewall and add the relevant Security Group to your instance in order to allow MySQL JDBC traffic.
