I have a Webmail application which is based on a Mdaemon mail server.
Now I'm able to load test the web application using JMeter, but I want to know if it's possible to load test the Mdaemon mail server directly, without testing the web app?
I address the application in Jmeter using the server's IP and the port.but I don't know how to address Mdaemon which is installed on the server, directly in Jmeter.
There is an SMTP Sampler and a Mail Reader Sampler:

So what you are looking for is already built in.

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.
I am using Jmeter 4.0 for the first time and when I am trying for test recording with Mozilla linked to Jmeter, i am able to record .net and .com sites but I am unable to test my application deployed in the server and having the URL with server domain which is not a generic site like .net and .com.
Please let me know how I can test my server's domain URLs through Jmeter.
Sounds like this is a proxy issue, in order to isolate it, if possible and then host the application on the local box and then try to record it, it will work.!!
I am trying to record mobile app with Jmeter, the app has URLs with https,
I am using jmeter 3.1 and configured mobile and machine such that I am able to record URL(both http and HTTPS) and app from mobile in jmeter. Now I have an application, with the same configuration I have tried recording that app, but not able to record anything and the strange thing is that when I am trying to login into the app with proxy in mobile it's says "Unable to connect to server", but without proxy it's logining successfully. Does someone come across this situation. Please let me know if there could be any solution for this.
Unable to connect to server has many faces, going forward include more details into the question, i.e. mobile operating system, proxy configuration details, etc.
In the meantime here is a checklist:
JMeter can record only HTTP and/or HTTPS, other protocols are not supported
You need to configure mobile device to use the host running JMeter as a proxy for both HTTP and HTTPS protocols. For certain operating systems you may need 3rd party software, i.e ProxyDroid in order to setup HTTPS proxy
In case of HTTPS traffic you will need to install JMete's self-signed certificate - ApacheJMeterTemporaryRootCA.crt onto your mobile device. If did it already - be informed that JMeter certificates has limited life span (4 months or something like that) so you need to periodically "refresh" them. The fastest and the easiest way of installing the certificate is sending the aforementioned file to yourself via email and opening the attachment using the mobile device.
See HTTPS recording and certificates chapter of the HTTP(S) Test Script Recorder JMeter User Manual entry for more details.
You can also View the Webcast: Performance Testing for Native Mobile Apps to learn about alternative ways of recording mobile traffic and converting it into a JMeter test.
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'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!

http://wiki.apache.org/jmeter/JMeterFAQ#Can_JMeter_record_HTTPS_requests_using_the_recording_proxy.3F
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.
