it will be a standard part of JMeter. If you haven't used JMeter before here's a quick description. 1. you add a monitor to a test plan 2. add the kind of timer you would like to use. for the monitor, a constant timer makes the most sense, but some one could use a random timer 3. add the sampler. JMeter can send ftp, http, jdbc, tcp, java, ldap and webservice requests 4. add other configuration properties like authentication manager for status servlet 5. add the monitor result listener at the top level JMeter wraps the responses in a object called SampleResult. All status results will get added to the health tab using protocol+host+port as the key. I like to run benchmarks regularly on the apps I'm developing, but usually I have to run them manually and use top. I started thinking about a monitor plugin for JMeter, so that I can automate the process when the status servlet was added. As long as the server provides status information and can output the right format, JMeter should be able to send requests to get the information. I hope that answers your question. peter lin
