I need to test the performance of a http server with increasingly bigger files, so I have set up 4 linux hosts that are running jmeter-server 2.3.1 (jdk 1.6, using up to one GB for heap) and one controller running jmeter in graphical mode (no results tree, only an Aggregate Report).
I don't need to examine the file contents, only the download throughput as the number of threads and the file size (up to 8GB) increases. The problem is that, eventually, as I increase the size and/or the number of threads, I get out of heap space errors on the jmeter-server hosts. Also, the throughput is slower than if using a plain wget on the same hosts. This is with both flavours of the http sampler (java and http client). I have configured the Sample Result Save Configuration to disable saving of response data and messages. Is there a setting in the http samplers that tells them to just download the file as wget -O /dev/null would do, ignoring the contents? thank you Ivan -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Testing-http-dowload-of-large-files-tp15950890p15950890.html Sent from the JMeter - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
