Distributed load is referred with putting load on server by using another machine. In this you will send the request from your own computer which is called "Master" computer,to other computers which are called "slave" computer to web-server With this you will be able to put max load on web-server with the different CPU usage.
The prerequisite for this:
- You should turned off the firewalls of your computer.
- All the clients should be the same Sub-net.
- Make sure jmeter can access the server.
- Make sure you use the same version of Jmeter on all the systems.
How to configure-In this in the master computer in which you are running Jmeter,first go to the C:/ drive where the jmeter folder is-Then explore the jmeter folder,go to jmeter properties/configure file,and edit it.
You will see the line after scrolling down remote Host-127.0.0.1
Just add the ip of slave computer threw which you want to put the load on web-server.
Like I the ip’s are-192.168.34.78,192.168.34.89 etc..
But make sure that the IP should be of same domain.After adding the ip this line will look like-:
After editing the line press ctrl+s.This is what should be done in Master computer.
Now go to slave computers and on that –
Go to jmeter/bin directory and execute jmeter-server.bat (jmeter-
server). On windows, you should see a dos window appear with “jre\[version]
\bin\rmiregistry.exe”. If this doesn't happen, it means either the environment settings are
not right, or there are multiple JRE installed on the system.
1. Open jmeter-server.bat in a notepad or edit-plus.
2. Follow till line-44 and find “:setCP”
3. Edit “START rmiregistry” to the full path. Example: “START
C:\jre\bin\rmiregistry.exe”
When you are putting the distributed load, you should execute the jmeter-server.bat file first.
Now when you will start Jmeter from master computer,on the run tab you will see the option remote start-
So as you can in the above figure in the remote start option you will be able to see all the ip’s. From here you can select the ip from which computer you want to put the load on web-server. Or u can click on Remote Start All to put load threw all the slave systems on web-server.
After configuring this you can record the test or open the save tests.
This will may helpful to you.for more information refer this link- http://jakarta.apache.org/jmeter/usermanual/remote-test.html
