Are you using pure Ant, or the Ant JMeter task? > Due to a problem where we're seeing irregular arrival rates we want to try > spreading the load across multiple servers.

Controlling more than a few servers from one client can cause network congestion and/or resource exhaustion at the client, as all the responses are funnelled back to the client. > I then execute my tests from the ant scripts in the usual way, telling it to > use localhost and the remote servers.

Are you using a property or variable to define the number of threads? If it's not defined, then JMeter could interpret that as zero. > FWIW the location of the harness, vm, jmeter, testplans etc is the same on > both machines. > > So what I dont understand is how should the various parameters that I pass > to jmeter be then passed to the remote boxes? JMeter 2.3.1 added the ability to pass properties to remote servers using the -G command-line flag. However that is not supported via the ant-jmeter jar (yet). But you can pass whatever flags you like using Ant with the <arg> tag. > This is all headless as well - due to the number of parameters we set via > ant it's not possible to run up a gui client with those values set. Non-GUI uses fewer resources, especially in 2.3.1. > Thanks, > Dan > > ________________________________________________ > Message sent using UebiMiau 2.7.10 > > > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
