Typically, a server will crash if it runs out of memory, or reached the maximum number of threads. In the case of Tomcat 5, once the threads are maxed out, requests are placed in a queue until a thread is available. The relative importance of threads vary between containers, so the current implementation uses 50/50 to be conservative. A container that is more efficient with thread management might not see any performance degradation, but -the used memory definitely will show an impact. -</p> -<p><table border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"><tr><td><img src="../images/screenshots/monitor_screencap.png"/><br> -<font size="-1"></font></td></tr></table></p> -<p> -The performance graph shows four different lines.

If the memory line spikes up and down rapidly, it could indicate memory thrashing. In those situations, it is a good idea to profile the application with Borland OptimizeIt or JProbe. What you want to see is a regular pattern for load, memory and threads. Any erratic behavior usually indicates poor -performance or a bug of some sort. -</p> -</blockquote> -</p> -</td></tr> -<tr><td><br></td></tr> -</table> -<br> -<table> -<tr> -<td bgcolor="#525D76"> -<div align="right"><a href="index.html"><font size=-1 color="#ffffff" face="arial,helvetica,sanserif">Index</font></a></div> -</td> -<td bgcolor="#525D76"> -<div align="right"><a href="listeners.html"><font size=-1 color="#ffffff" face="arial,helvetica,sanserif">Next</font></a></div> -</td> -<td bgcolor="#525D76"> -<div align="right"><a href="build-jms-topic-test-plan.html"><font size=-1 color="#ffffff" face="arial,helvetica,sanserif">Prev</font></a></div> -</td> -</tr> -</table> -</td> -</tr> -<tr><td colspan="2"> -<hr noshade size="1"/> -</td></tr> -<tr><td colspan="2"> -<div align="center"><font color="#525D76" size="-1"><em> -Copyright © 1999-2015, Apache Software Foundation -</em></font></div> -</td></tr> -<tr><td colspan="2"> -<div align="center"><font color="#525D76" size="-1"> -Apache, Apache JMeter, JMeter, the Apache feather, and the Apache JMeter logo are -trademarks of the Apache Software Foundation. -</font> -</div> -</td></tr> -</table> -</body> -</html> -<!-- end the processing --> - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - +performance or a bug of some sort.</p> +</div><ul class="pagelinks"><li><a href="build-jms-topic-test-plan.html">< Prev</a></li><li><a href="../index.html">Index</a></li><li><a href="listeners.html">Next ></a></li></ul></div><div class="footer"><div class="copyright"> + Copyright © + 1999 – + 2015 + , Apache Software Foundation + </div><div class="trademarks">Apache, Apache JMeter, JMeter, the Apache + feather, and the Apache JMeter logo are + trademarks of the + Apache Software Foundation. + </div></div></body></html> \ No newline at end of file

Click on the warning icon to show the jmeter.log file at the bottom of JMeter's window. Just occasionally there may be some errors that JMeter is unable to trap and log; these will appear on the command console. If a test is not behaving as you expect, please check the log file in case any errors have been reported (e.g. perhaps a syntax error in a function call). - </p> <p> - Sampling errors (e.g. HTTP 404 - file not found) are not normally reported in the log file. Instead these are stored as attributes of the sample result. The status of a sample result can be seen in the various different Listeners. - -</p> -</blockquote> -</td></tr> -<tr><td><br></td></tr> -</table> -</blockquote> </p> -</td></tr> -<tr><td><br></td></tr> -</table> -<br> -<table> -<tr> -<td bgcolor="#525D76"> -<div align="right"><a href="index.html"><font size=-1 color="#ffffff" face="arial,helvetica,sanserif">Index</font></a></div> -</td> -<td bgcolor="#525D76"> -<div align="right"><a href="test_plan.html"><font size=-1 color="#ffffff" face="arial,helvetica,sanserif">Next</font></a></div> -</td> -<td bgcolor="#525D76"> -<div align="right"><a href="get-started.html"><font size=-1 color="#ffffff" face="arial,helvetica,sanserif">Prev</font></a></div> -</td> -</tr> -</table> -</td> -</tr> -<tr><td colspan="2"> -<hr noshade size="1"/> -</td></tr> -<tr><td colspan="2"> -<div align="center"><font color="#525D76" size="-1"><em> -Copyright © 1999-2015, Apache Software Foundation -</em></font></div> -</td></tr> -<tr><td colspan="2"> -<div align="center"><font color="#525D76" size="-1"> -Apache, Apache JMeter, JMeter, the Apache feather, and the Apache JMeter logo are -trademarks of the Apache Software Foundation. -</font> </div> -</td></tr> -</table> -</body> -</html> -<!-- end the processing --> - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - +</div><ul class="pagelinks"><li><a href="get-started.html">< Prev</a></li><li><a href="../index.html">Index</a></li><li><a href="test_plan.html">Next ></a></li></ul></div><div class="footer"><div class="copyright"> + Copyright © + 1999 – + 2015 + , Apache Software Foundation + </div><div class="trademarks">Apache, Apache JMeter, JMeter, the Apache + feather, and the Apache JMeter logo are + trademarks of the + Apache Software Foundation. + </div></div></body></html> \ No newline at end of file
