I had the same problem. This worked for me. Add a Duration Assertion as a child of your http request. There is a 'Duration in milliseconds' field available in this assertion.
Also I had to update the jmeter.properties file set the timeout to match. This value is also in milliseconds. # set the socket timeout (or use the parameter http.socket.timeout) httpclient.timeout=120000 Kathy Mitchell [EMAIL PROTECTED] 682-223-5334 -----Original Message----- From: Angelo Di Placido [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, August 01, 2007 12:16 PM To: 'JMeter Users List' Subject: Timeout on a request Is there a way to specify a timeout on a http sampler? During load testing I am seeing the majority of my page requests being serviced in less than 2 seconds. Occasionally however a request takes much longer (several minutes or worse no response ever received). I would like to be able to put a limit on how long jmeter waits for outstanding requests. I found a post to this emailing list in March 2004: I found a working solution for my timeout-problem: Java 1.4 has got a property 'sun.net.client.defaultReadTimeout'. This can be set to a appropriate value and raises a 'java.io.IOExcetion: Stream closed' instead of waiting infinitely. Just set this property in the jmeter.bat as a java parameter by 'java -Dsun.net.client.defaultReadTimeout=1000 ...' for a 1 second timeout for example. Is this the way I should proceed or is there another way to solve the problem?
