Menu: Edit/Clear or Control+E However, see: http://jakarta.apache.org/jmeter/usermanual/best-practices.html#lean_mean The Summary Listener does not use many resources (unless there are lots of different sampler names), so can be used to keep track of the current transaction rate. Ideally you need to measure the load at the server under test, and adjust as necessary to provide the desired load. > -- > View this message in context: > http://jmeter.512774.n5.nabble.com/Test-plan-for-970-page-requests-every-5-min-tp2826174p2828327.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] > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
