Hi folks, I am using Jmeter ver 2.3.4
I had been trying to get the Jmeter spidering working, the recipe in the docs I found just did not work. I was finding that the documented example 1. did not loop 2. would go back to th etop level http://www.mysite.org/.* and die without re-spidering. Here is my working testplan: Thread Group [action to be taken after a sampler error = continue] - HTTP Request [server name or IP = www.mysite.org] - While Controller [Condition = LAST] You must type LAST - - HTTP Request [server name www.mysite.org ; Path .*] - - Link Parser and that's it. The crucial things here were .: the While Controller with the LAST option for the Condition .: Also the documentation tells you to put server = .* in the first HTTP Request : do that and you will spider the whole web! .: setting action = continue in the Thread Group Once all this was in place I found I could randomly trawl my clients site with about 60,000 pages. I could ramp up the number of users to simulate a load of people randomly hitting the site. Insertion of a Timer Controller with a Gaussian distribution helps make it a bit more random. Happy spidering. Jason --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
