So your problem is that you're afraid you might get too much data for JMeter to record as test plan if it doesn't periodically flush out past recordings?
If there's no optimal solution for you in regards to JMeter (from input of others on this list), I can offer the following advice, which do require additional development/scripting work to implement: * try using another proxy instead, which can log the requests to file in some format. You can then develop a parser to convert the requests into a JMeter test plan (which is just XML in a certain format). Any limitations here would depend on what proxy you use. * similarly, another alternative to a proxy is to have your users run an HTTP sniffer tool with their browser during the browsing sessions and have them manually save the sniffer data (often plain text format) and you aggregate the results and parse/convert them into a JMeter test plan. Most of the nice sniffers are browser based extensions/add-ons like LiveHttpHeaders for Firefox and ieHttpHeaders for IE, both are free. The individual data from each user will be much less than all of them combined, so there's less worry about too much data to save. Plus users can manually flush the sniffer data and record multiple sessions/files instead of one big one.
