Test Summary - Jmeter Version - 2.13 Jmeter Machines - 10 AWS EC2 m4.4xlarge instances Number of threads on each instance 72 hence in total 720 threads in distributed mode Test is executed in non GUI mode
I was experimenting with Backend listener as described here <http://jmeter.apache.org/usermanual/realtime-results.html> and came across drastic reduction in throughput against a static html file. These are the results are received for 5 minutes test - Throughput with backend listener - 5000/sec Throughput without backend listener - 9800/sec I have repeated the test over a period of one week and test results have been consistent. I did not see any significant difference in load avg or cpu utilization on load agents with or without backend listener. Is JMeter performance degradation a known issue with Backend listener?
