I have installed JMeter 3 in Linux. I am not getting all the samplers. Many samplers including web service request sampler is missing. How can I include this? Is it my fault or system's?
The latest JMeter version where you can find WebService(SOAP) Request is Apache JMeter 2.9. If you need to open an older test plan i.e. to convert it to newer test format you can get JMeter 2.9 from JMeter download archives area
For the moment it is recommended to use HTTP Request sampler for both SOAP and REST web services testing. You can specify the necessary headers, i.e. Content-Type or SOAPAction via HTTP Header Manager

Our Application is live event based application which creates 2-3 web-socket connection and it is a web-based application which makes both HTTP calls and Web-socket calls.
I have created a script for Https calls as unfortunately Jmeter does not support web-socket recording so I trying to insert web-socket calls manually with the help of web-socket Sampler but not sure which will be the best sampler for same as my request has access token in it.
I tried with Web-socket request-response sampler I am getting 200 OK but their is no data response from server when I compare it with browser developer tool i could see some messages flowing..
Can anyone let me know if I am doing something wrong or missing anything? OR what can be done to solve it.
I believe JMeter WebSocket Samplers by Peter Doornbosch is what you're looking for.
As per Features section:
integrates with JMeter's Header Manager to set additional HTTP headers on WebScoket upgrade request
so you will be able to add HTTP Header Manager, configure it to send Authorization header with the value of Bearer followed by your token and the Sampler will pick it up.
With regards to which one to choose - it depends on the nature of your application and how does the communication with the backend looks like, check out your browser developer tools to see whether requests/and responses are coming via a single connection or a new one is being established for each frame and so on.

We have a REST API. When we call the API through the jmeter we get high response times compared to calling the API directly with a c# client that makes a Http request.
There are no resources or anything. It is a POST call that returns around 1 MB of data. With jmeter the latency is around 300 ms vs calling the API directly the latency is 100 ms.
Why is this difference ? What settings should we tweak in jmeter ? Tried tweaking the SSL settings. But that did not make any difference.
Any suggestions ?
THanks
We cannot say anything meaningful without seeing the C# code and your JMeter configuration.
Given you're sending the same requests you should be getting the same responses in more or less the same time so use an external sniffer tool like Wireshark to capture the requests from C# http request and JMeter and compare them. Amend JMeter's HTTP Request sampler configuration to 100% match the C# http request including Headers
Also if your C# http request supports proxy (it should theoretically) you can just record the request using JMeter's HTTP(S) Test Script Recorder, this way you will get the same configuration of the HTTP Request sampler and HTTP Header Manager.
With regards to "tweaking" JMeter I can only think of JMeter Best Practices.
I have this requirement to integrate JMeter with Dynatrace managed. I have given the headers in the JMeter with the required info.
Since I am new to Dynatrace managed, I am unable to figure out how to see the JMeter requests and filter them out on the basis of Headers.
Can someone please guide me on this?
In JMeter you can add HTTP Headers using HTTP Header Manager
In Dynatrace you can monitor these headers as:

The version of jmeter i'm using is 5.3
and the setting I'm using here is https://prnt.sc/zothxr for the web socket
I need to give load in the websocket using this jmeter & websocket
Looking into the plugin source code it appears that the session is not established so you might need to check your hostname/path/implementation and look at server and JMeter log files, it might be the case you didn't install the necessary dependencies or something like this.
Also the plugin you're using is kind of outdated so I would recommend switching to JMeter WebSocket Samplers by Peter Doornbosch, it can be installed via JMeter Plugins Manager and it has more features comparing to the version you're using.

I have one requirement to use Adobe Analytics with Jmeter tests. so what ever the transactions going from my JMeter to my application, I need to analyse those in Adobe Analytics, so please suggest me how to integrate these two.
JMeter + Adobe Analytics
I believe you will be integrating JMeter testing on your web application. One option is to pass an additional request in the requests which you send to the web application. In your web application, you can check for this parameter (will know that it is from JMeter) and initiate the analytics code accordingly.
With API Username and Shared Secret (you can find them at your Account Information page) you should be able to execute necessary SOAP or REST request using JMeter's HTTP Request sampler.
You will also need HTTP Header Manager to send i.e. X-WSSE header, Content-Type header, etc.
See Testing SOAP/REST Web Services Using JMeter article for more information on configuring JMeter for simulating web service requests.
