In the Add/Edit Test page, you can change the advanced default configuration in “Advanced Test Properties” section to fit your specic needs.
Extended JMeterEngine Resources Configuration
The JMeter in the Cloud default configuration includes running a single JMeter console on a dedicated server coupled with additional servers running two JMeterEngine(s) each. As each server is equipped with a dual core CPU and 1.7GB of memory, we limit the memory available for the console to 1GB and for each JMeterEngine to 512MB. In most cases this configuration should be more than enough. That being said, some scripts can require more resources than others.
For the purpose of more intensive scripts we provide an extended resources configuration. With this configuration each JMeterEngine runs on a dedicated server. The memory available for the JMeterEngine is limited to 1.5GB, triple the amount provided by the default configuration. Because this configuration uses one server for each JMeterEngine it requires additional computing hours when compared with the default configuration.
JMeter Version
While you can choose to use JMeter version 2.3.4, please note that by default JMeter version 2.3.2 is selected. You should use the JMeter version you are using on your local computer to create your test scripts.
Slow Internet Connection
Enable this check box only if you are using a low bandwidth Internet connection. In any case we highly recommend using JMeter in the Cloud with a strong Internet connection only. We recommend not using JMeter in the Cloud on a virtual desktop (for example using CITRIX). We are providing a remote application access to the remote JMeter servers. This requires a strong bandwidth Internet connection.
Dedicated IPs
In some situations, such as a when you are connecting from behind a corporate Firewall, you would want the JMeterEngines to have dedicated IPs. We can assign dedicated IPs to the JMeterEngines. Dedicated IPs are an expensive resource. If you wish to have dedicated IPs assigned to you, please contact us.
