Is there a way to tell an HTTP Request in jMeter to ignore the HTTP Request Defaults element? I've got a string of about 100 HTTP Requests that need the defaults but the last few I need to keep them from posting what's in the defaults.
HTTP Request Defaults controls defaults when you don't define the field in the HTTP Request.
So just fill in in the particular HTTP Request the fields you want to override and you're done.

I cannot modify anything on user.properties to add next line CookieManager.save.cookies=true because I run my scripts from a remote machine in which I don't have access to.
I am able to capture the Cookie using a Regular Expression Extractor from RESPONSE HEADER in Login and save it in a variable 'Cookie_cp'. I tried adding 'Cookie_cp' on HTTP Cookie Manager and also tried adding it on HTTP Header Manager, but JMeter sends the cookie only on REQUEST BODY, but not the REQUEST HEADER.
Another issue is that 'Cookie_cp' is being captured from second step's RESPONSE HEADER and applied to third step, while I need this cookie to be applied only from Login to all other steps.
Any help please?
JMeter sends the cookie(s) in the Cookie header, not in the request body, if you're using View Results Tree listener to inspect the request and it shows the cookie in the "Request Body" tab it's kind of misleading.
In fact JMeter does send the cookie(s) in the Cookie header, you can double check it using a sniffer tool like Wireshark
If you want to send the cookie (or any other header) with all the requests starting from second one you can:
Put these requests under a Simple Controller
Add HTTP Cookie Manager (or HTTP Header Manager) at the same level as these requests
Both Cookie and Header manager obey JMeter Scoping Rules so the header(s) will be added to all Simple Controller's children
My team planned to do API Performance Testing using JMeter 5.0 for my client. My client developed the API in Kubernetes. Just wondering, they gave info such as URI, HTTP Method and Content-Type only. We never have experience using URI. Are these info sufficient to do load test in JMeter? And where do I fill in these info? Is it in Config Element: HTTP Header Manager?
Because usually I only do my enablement using sample website which already provide the URL.
Do I need to ask them to provide the specific URL for this? Or URL can be extracted from URI?
Thanks.
Normally you should put:
Protocol, server name or IP and Port Number into HTTP Request Defaults, this way you will have a single configuration element having these details and in case of change you will need to introduce the change at one place only and won't have to revisit each and every HTTP Request sampler
Individual requests are defined using individual HTTP Request samplers where you need to provide URL Path and request body (if any)
Content-Type and other Headers can be provided via HTTP Header Manager, the same Scoping Rules as for HTTP Request Defaults apply, for example if you want to send application/json for all the requests just add HTTP Header Manager on the top of your Test Plan and it will add the header to all HTTP Request samplers which are at the same level as the HTTP Header Manager or lower.
I have one HTTP Request default that have optimized basic and advanced settings for the individual requests samplers to adapt.
And I now have updated one individual sampler advanced settings Connection timeout.
This I think is a basic question, does the individual sampler overrides the HTTP Requests defaults? or is it the other way around (Requests defaults overrides the individual sampler)?
If the former, does it apply to all the inputs or just the one I have updated Connection timeout?
HTTP Request Defaults provides default values for all the HTTP Request samplers in the HTTP Request Defaults scope
When you amend a value in the single HTTP Request sampler the default value becomes overridden for particular this sampler, other samplers will have the values you specify in the HTTP Request Defaults.
Changes are not propagated from the individual Samplers to the defaults, the direction is only from Defaults to Samplers.
I'm currently doing a Performance testing and having a requirement similar(90%) to following question Ignoring-HTTP-Request-Defaults
Scenario - Total of 200 HTTPs Requests:
150 HTTPs Requests should run with Proxy, Port, Username and Password.
50 HTTPs Requests should run without Proxy, Port, Username and Password.
To satisfy this requirement, I have created one "HTTP Request Defaults" config element (With Proxy Authentication details) at Project Level and created the 50 separate "HTTP Request Defaults" (Without Proxy Authentication details) for each 50 HTTPs Request.
HTTP Request Default hierarchy screenshot:
So above 50 HTTPs Request Samplers (without Proxy Authentication) is getting failed with the below error message since it's not overriding the globally assigned "HTTP Request Defaults" config element (With Proxy Authentication details)
Response code: Non HTTP response code: org.apache.http.conn.HttpHostConnectException Response message: Non HTTP response message: Connect to proxy.usp.com:8080 [proxy.usp.com/91.195.240.126] failed: Connection timed out: connect
HTTP Request Defaults obey JMeter Scoping Rules
HTTP Request Defaults provide default values for the fields/settings which are not set in the HTTP Request sampler (or other HTTP Request Defaults)
So if you set proxy at the global level - it will be applied for *all** the HTTP Request samplers in scope.
The solution would be to set proxy details by adding a HTTP Request defaults to the Sampler(s) which need to have proxy.
You cannot "override" parent HTTP Request Defaults proxy settings by providing blank values, as of JMeter 5.1.1 you can only do the opposite thing.
I am using groovy as the language and want to read the server IP value is that was set in the HTTP Request Defaults configuration item.
I looked at http://jmeter.apache.org/usermanual/functions.html and a few other places but nothing useful I can find.
Thanks,

Actually there is no such thing as HTTP Request Defaults in JMeter script, it is only abstraction layer made for your convenience. When the test is being run the values are merged into HTTP Request samplers where the relevant field(s) is(are) blank. So instead of getting the server IP value from HTTP Request Defaults you should be getting it from the HTTP Request samplers.
I would recommend using JSR223 PostProcessor, add it as a child of the HTTP Request sampler and use the following code:
def serverIP = sampler.getDomain()
It is also possible to do using JSR223 Sampler for the previous sampler (which is supra in the Test Plan) like:
def serverIP = ctx.getPreviousSampler().getDomain()
