I have a trouble here with Jmeter.
I am new with Jmeter.
I tried to record our company intranet site with Jmeter, but nothing recorded.
If I change website to other website, it worked.
Can anyone suggest me what to be set?
Or Jmeter doesn't support intranet recording?
Thank you
Of course JMeter supports intranet site recording provided it is standard Http.
Check you Browser proxy configuration for internal site and configure correctly these for jmeter:
See command line options:

I am trying to do record a test script using JMeter (version 4) Test Script Recorder for performance testing of my application. After configuring the proxy, The recorder is not recording my application URL running on localhost in Internet Explorer (IE 9). But other URLs are getting recorded in JMeter. I tried to record my application using Chrome which is working fine.I have unchecked the Bypass proxy server for local address in Proxy settings.
I recommend you to use Mozilla Firefox to record your script because Firefox allows you to manage proxies and certificates independently of system settings.
Get more information about recording:
Apache JMeter HTTP(S) Test Script Recorder
JMeter Recording Guide
Make sure to check Use the same proxy server for all protocols box in the "Advanced" tab of the Internet Explorer proxy settings and there are no localhost, 127.0.0.1, etc. in the "Exceptions"
Some applications cannot route traffic to a local proxy server so you may need to add a loopback adapter
If you're recording an application which operates over HTTPS protocol you will need to install JMeter's self-signed certificate into Trusted Root Certification Authorities:
It doesn't really matter which browser you're using for recording as applications mostly differentiate the browsers basing on User-Agent header so you can record using whatever browser and then change User-Agent string in the HTTP Header Manager to IE9
According to JMeter Best Practices you should always be using the latest version of JMeter so consider upgrading to JMeter 5.0 (or whatever is the latest version available at JMeter Downloads page)
While recording application in JMeter, page is not getting displayed.
For actual daily purpose loading in browser, application uses 'automatically detect setting' (no proxies).
How to solve it?
(For recording localhost setting is used. Since there is no proxy command prompt method is not applicable)
If anybody came across this situation or has some other easy way to record other than Fiddler, Blazemeter or Badboy (since few issues while trying those also) please respond.
Also please suggest if there is anyway to get recording log from blazemeter extension for chrome because application is getting recorded with that extension, but recording log is not available.
If at least log is available I can use jcorrelate with the jmx and log as inputs to create script.
Follow the steps below to record web application in your browser
1.Create a recording Template in JMeter.
2.Open HTTP(s) Script reorder and give a port number which is not is use
3.Open your browser and setup proxy
(uncheck automatically detect setting) and set Proxy server with port mentioned in Jmeter script recorder)
If your web application uses https then you might need to install certificate generated by JMeter.
The article below explains the detailed steps to record an application using JMeter proxy server
JMeter Proxy Recording
You can convert BlazeMeter to jmx, just setup a Blazemeter account
A Blazemeter account is required to convert the recording into a JMeter script (.jmx) file because this process is performed on the server side. Any Blazemeter account (free or paid) will suffice. Signing up for BlazeMeter is super fast and doesn’t require any sort of commitment or credit card.
In Jmeter, I am not able to record any external website from our company proxy server.
I have to use option "Automatic proxy configuration URL" (i.e one .pac file )in to browser if I dont know how to configure it in Jmeter to do successful recording.
Any idea?
PAC fiels contain javascript which is executed by the browser to decide which proxy URL they want to use. JMeter is not a browser so it does not run this code. The solution is simply to resolve which proxy this script returns and input this value into JMeter directly, you can do this using the dev tools on most browsers, or just ask the IT dept. that maintains the thing to tell you the direct address.
Same question with solution in Jmeter mailing archive.
Jmeter: Using a Proxy Server.
I am trying to record a http web page using JMeter 2.3.3 version. I have setup the JMeter proxy and tried, but didn't work. I have followed the below steps.
Launch jmeter 2.3.3, added thread group to test plan
Under Workbench->add->non-test elements-> added HTTP proxy server. proxy server setting are port:9090, target:use recording controller, grouping:donot group samplers, Type:HTTp request and checked the boxes of all under http sampler settings
Saved the settings
Now in browser(IE 7.0 or firefox 3.0.16), under connection settings, setup the manual proxy settings as local host and port as 9090 (no auto detect settings nothing, only manual proxy). Setting saved
Now in the JMeter, started the http proxy server.
Open a browser and hit the webpage needs to be tested.
The page is not opened. In fact because of the changes made in browsers, no pages are opened. Whenever I try hitting a page, the pages are recorded in the JMeter. But without the page open, how can I test.
I looking for an immediate answer and my work is blocked. Immediate answer would be appreciated.
I suspect that you need to configure JMeter to use a proxy in order to load the pages you're trying to test.
Please Configure your browser with Address:localhost and port:8080. and then start recording the script.
Steps:
Open browser IE.
Go to option and select connection.
Select "LAN Setting".
set Address:"localhost" and port:8080.
Follow this step and start recording script.
Please check if you have checked the redirect automatically check box in the HTTP Proxy settings in JMeter.
I'm using Apache JMeter 2.3, which now supports "attempt HTTPS spoofing" under the Proxy Server element.
I've tried this on several different servers, and have had no success.
Has anyone been able to successfully record from an HTTPS source with this setting?
Or barring successfully recording, can anyone share a work-around? When available, I simply have HTTPS turned off at the server level, but this is not always feasible. Thoughts?
Starting from JMeter 3.0 default port for the HTTP(S) Test Script Recorder is 8888
The easiest way to configure recording is using JMeter Templates feature. From JMeter's main menu select:
File -> Templates -> Recording -> Create
Don't forget to start the recorder :
In JMeter < 4.0, Expand "Workbench", if >= 4.0, ignore this step
Select "HTTP(S) Test Script Recorder"
Click "Start" button
You will see a message regarding Root CA Certificate. Click OK:
it is OK, it informs you JMeter has created a Root Certificate Authority that you need to import in your browser to be able to record correctly HTTPS traffic.
To Import this Root CA certificate in Firefox (it is located in jmeter/bin folder) for example:
Configure browser to use JMeter as proxy:
It is now Ok.
You can navigate to your application, samplers will be created under "Recording Controller" which is under "Thread Group" element
While the JMeter proxy already has the ability to record HTTPS requests, a Chrome Extension that creates JMeter script came out recently:
https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/blazemeter-the-load-testi/mbopgmdnpcbohhpnfglgohlbhfongabi?hl=en
It uses a BlazeMeter as the middleman (a commercial JMeter in the cloud service) but you can use their free service forever and still use the plugin to record a JMX script and download it locally to your own machine even if you never use any of the paid plans.
What I do is:
Go to my website using my web server's IP-address (i.e. http://2.2.2.2/login.html)
Start the recorder and run through my test case
Stop recording
Replace all values of the IP address with the domain name (i.e. replace 2.2.2.2 with yoursite.com) from the HTTP Request Samplers
Set the protocol to https in the HTTP Request Samplers
If you have more than a few pages, it's easiest to create an HTTP Request Defaults item, and set your domain name and protocol there.
FYI, I'm using the latest stable build as of 2010-05-24: Jmeter 2.3.4 r785646.
The newest version of Jmeter (2.4) now supports HTTPS recording. Rejoice!

Is there any other way to record HTTPS than Bad boy and Https spoofing?
Yes--use a nightly build of JMeter, e.g. version r922204.
Https recording is successfully working in new version of Jmeter 2.9 as of today. I had to import proxy certificate and play around with Firefox to get this working.
Refer this link for more information
Https recording using Jmeter
Yes, I have used it with "attempt HTTPS spoofing" on. Things are simple enough:
Turn HTTPS Spoofing on (of course).
Make sure that the browser sends Http request to Jmeter, so that Jmeter can record it and then send the encrypted request back to the server. So, the URL in the browser should start with http:// (and not with https://). The details could be found in my blog.
Please let me know if it works for you.
I am using Webscarab to record https and ajax conversations.
It workd fine. I extended the Webscarab with export function for Jmeter.
