I would like to pass jtl file name over command line arguments. commanline lookslike this:
jmeter -J JTL=%JTLFILE% -t Metasuche.jmx
In Script I am using ${__P(JTL)}. If i am starting jmeter like this:
jmeter -J JTL=%JTLFILE% -t Metasuche.jmx
and
jmeter -J JTL=%JTLFILE% -t Metasuche.jmx -n
It works as expected and jtl file is created in a file as passed in arguments. But if I am starts Jmeter with:
jmeter -J JTL=%JTLFILE% -t Metasuche.jmx and -n -r
then my JTL values are landing in a new File ${__P(JTL)} in current directory.
How should I tell jmeter to use command line arguments in local and remote executions?
If you want to pass the properties to the remove machines via command-line argument you should be using -G instead of -J
As per Overriding Properties Via The Command Line
-G[prop_name]=[value]
defines a JMeter property to be sent to all remote servers.
-G[propertyfile]
defines a file containing JMeter properties to be sent to all remote servers.

How to Perform Distributed Testing in JMeter
I have a single master and 5 slave agents. I am starting my test using the command line option from the master by specifying the slave machines using the -R option.
$JMETER_HOME/current/bin/jmeter -n -t test.jmx -R host1,host2 -l testresult.jtl -Jthreads=$THREADS -Jrampup=$RAMPUP -Jtestduration=$TESTDURATION -JENV=$ENV -e -o ./testreport
I see that the new values that are passed in the command line using the -J switch are not getting applied when the test plan is transferred to the slave machines. Slaves are using only the hardcoded values in the JMX.
According to Jmeter Doc on Overriding Properties Via The Command Line
-J[prop_name]=[value]
defines a local JMeter property.
-G[prop_name]=[value]
defines a JMeter property to be sent to all remote servers.
So, you need to use -G flag for Jmeter property to be sent to all remote servers.
In my test environment i want to start the jmeter slaves from master before the test and shutdown the slaves after the test. How to do these from jmeter master? The test environment is in CentOS.
Add to your command line :
-X
Example:
jmeter -n -t testplan.jmx -r -X
-X means to exit the servers at the end of the test.
See:
http://jmeter.apache.org/usermanual/get-started.html#options
I would suggest using one of the following approaches:
OS Process Sampler in combination with ssh command (or plink if master is on Windows)
SSH Sampler (available via plugin)
See How to Run External Commands and Programs Locally and Remotely from JMeter guide for details.
We have a highly parameterized JMeter job, and we define all those parameters (things like number of users and length of simulation) in a Java properties file that we specify on the command line
jmeter -n -t myscript.jmx -p 500users.props
but when we tried to distribute this over several machines:
jmeter -n -t myscript.jmx -p 500users.props -Rmachine1,machine2,machine3
those machines did not see the value specified in the properties file. How do you configure your JMeter tests in a distributed scenario?
Evidently you need to use the -G flag to get things to other servers.
jmeter -n -t myscript.jmx -G500users.props -Rmachine1,machine2,machine3
I'm running JMeter through jenkins for performance testing using the command line options. I already write to one jtl file when I do the command, such as:
java -jar path to Jmeter -n -t jmx file -l log file
I would like to also put the results into another log file stored in another location, but I can't get it to work by putting another path after the -l command or putting in a second -l. Is there anyway to do this simply?
Thanks
Check these options. you should use the option '-j'. It works fine for me.
-n This specifies JMeter is to run in non-gui mode
-t [name of JMX file that contains the Test Plan].
-l [name of JTL file to log sample results to].
-j [name of JMeter run log file].
-r Run the test in the servers specified by the JMeter property "remote_hosts"
-R [list of remote servers] Run the test in the specified remote servers
