hi all, I'm new to jmeter and have interest in using the access log sampler to recreate "actual load" from a very busy system.
Anyone on the list using it currently? Can you share your insights & recommendations? We really would like it to replay 'posts' (i.e. as well as 'gets'), but reading the documentation and code, it appears that "no posts". For our application, posting content results in cleared caches, i.e. which require cache reloading...versus "mere gets" which fetch from the cache. So "post-less" access logs really will not tax the application to its full extent. I've looked at adding a new parser class (i.e. for a custom format which includes post data--it's pretty easy in tomcat to log this information using a servlet filter and the tomcat access log valve formatting strings)....however..reviewing the code I'm not sure if the HttpSampler will actually replay a "post" ...but I digress.. This is fodder for another question.... However please weigh in if you have any pointers to extending the functionality. thanks in advance, will
