Running Your Load Test

Printer-friendly versionSend to friend

Once the JMeter console window is open, your previously uploaded test-script is available for you to run. Please note that you can change the script and save the changes through the remote JMeter console, the changes also affect the JMeter file you can download from the test page.

You can choose to run your load on all servers simultaneously or start each JMeterEngine separately. We recommend running no more than 300 concurrent threads for each JMeterEngine.
In order to run all servers simultaneously, click on the "Remote Start All" option under the “Run” menu:
Remote Start All option

In order to start each JMeterEngine separately, select "Remote Start" option under the “Run” menu. All available JMeterEngines are listed; click on the one you want to start:
Start JMeterEngines manually

You can also run the load on the JMeter console by clicking on the “Start” option under the “Run” menu. This is the same as running another JMeterEngine.

Please note that we do not recommend running a load on the JMeter Console. This is because it is already consuming massive amounts of CPU capacity for calculations related to aggregating remote JMeterEngines results. Doing so may cause the JMeter Console to freeze.

The same can be done for stopping the load (by choosing “Remote Stop All”, selecting a JMeterEngine from "Remote Stop" list or clicking on “Stop” option).
