20 Introduction¶

This document describes JMeter properties. The properties present in jmeter.properties or reportgenerator.properties should be set in the user.properties file. These properties are only taken into account after restarting JMeter as they are usually resolved when the class is loaded.

20.1 Language¶

Parameters

Attribute

Description

Required

language

Preferred GUI language. Comment out to use the JVM default locale's language.
Example:

language=en

This property is the only one that must be set in jmeter.properties file

To fully configure language ensure you set locale, see Internationalization: Understanding Locale in the Java Platform. Example for English:

-Duser.language=en -Duser.region=EN

No

locales.add

Additional locale(s) to add to the displayed list.
The current default list is: en, fr, de, no, es, tr, ja, zh_CN, zh_TW, pl, pt_BR.
See JMeterMenuBar#makeLanguageMenu()
The entries are a comma-separated list of language names.
Example:

locales.add=zu

No

20.2 XML Parser¶

Parameters

Attribute

Description

Required

xpath.namespace.config

Path to a Properties file containing Namespace mapping in the form prefix=Namespace. Example:

ns=http://biz.aol.com/schema/2006-12-18

No

20.3 SSL configuration¶

SSL (Java) System properties are now in system.properties
JMeter no longer converts javax.xxx property entries in this file into System properties.
These must now be defined in the system.properties file or on the command-line.
The system.properties file gives more flexibility.

https.sessioncontext.shared

By default, SSL session contexts are now created per-thread, rather than being shared.
The old behaviour can be enabled by setting this property to true. Defaults to: false

No

https.default.protocol

Be aware that https default protocol may vary depending on the version of JVM. See Diagnosing TLS, SSL and HTTPS and Bug 58236. Default HTTPS protocol level:

https.default.protocol=TLS

This may need to be changed to:

https.default.protocol=SSLv3

No

Parameters

Attribute

Description

Required

https.socket.protocols

List of protocols to enable. You may have to select only a subset if you find issues with target server.
This is needed when server does not support Socket version negotiation, this can lead to errors like: javax.net.ssl.SSLPeerUnverifiedException: peer not authenticated or java.net.SocketException: Connection reset.
See Bug 54759, example:

https.socket.protocols=SSLv2Hello SSLv3 TLSv1

No

https.use.cached.ssl.context

Control if we allow reuse of cached SSL context between iterations.
Set the value to false to reset the SSL context each iteration.
Defaults to: true

No

https.keyStoreStartIndex

Start index to be used with keystores with many entries.
The default is to use entry 0, i.e. the first.
Defaults to: 0

No

https.keyStoreEndIndex

End index to be used with keystores with many entries.
Defaults to: 0

No

20.4 Look and Feel configuration¶

Parameters

Attribute

Description

Required

jmeter.laf.windows_10

Classname of the Swing default UI
The LAF classnames that are available are now displayed as ToolTip text when hovering over the Options/Look and Feel selection list.
You can either use a full class name, as shown below, or one of the strings "System" or "CrossPlatform" which means JMeter will use the corresponding string returned by UIManager.get<name>LookAndFeelClassName().
LAF can be overridden by os.name (lowercased, spaces replaced by '_').

Order of LAF property lookup¶

Take for example an os.name of Windows 10.
JMeter would look first for a property

jmeter.laf.windows_10=javax.swing.plaf.metal.MetalLookAndFeel

Failing that, the OS family os.name would be used shortened to the first space. In our example JMeter would therefore look for a property

jmeter.laf.windows=com.sun.java.swing.plaf.windows.WindowsLookAndFeel

Mac apparently looks better with the System LAF set through

jmeter.laf.mac=System

Failing that, the JMeter default laf can be defined through:

jmeter.laf=System

If none of the above jmeter.laf properties are defined, JMeter uses the CrossPlatform LAF. This is because the CrossPlatform LAF generally looks better than the System LAF. See Bug 52026 for details.

No

jmeter.loggerpanel.display

Display LoggerPanel.
Defaults to: false

No

jmeter.loggerpanel.enable_when_closed

Enable LogViewer Panel to receive log event even when closed.
Enabled since 2.12

Note this has some impact on performances, but as GUI mode must not be used for Load Test it is acceptable

Defaults to: true

No

jmeter.loggerpanel.maxlength

Max characters kept in LoggerPanel, 0 means no limit.
Defaults to: 80000

No

20.5 Toolbar display¶

20.6 JMX Backup configuration¶

Parameters

Attribute

Description

Required

jmeter.gui.action.save.backup_on_save

Enable auto backups of the .jmx file when a test plan is saved.
When enabled, before the .jmx is saved, it will be backed up to the directory pointed to by the jmeter.gui.action.save.backup_directory property (see below). Backup file names are built after the jmx file being saved. For example, saving test-plan.jmx will create a test-plan-000012.jmx in the backup directory provided that the last created backup file is test-plan-000011.jmx.
Default value is true indicating that auto backups are enabled.
Defaults to: true

No

jmeter.gui.action.save.backup_directory

Set the backup directory path where JMX backups will be created upon save in the GUI.
If not set (what it defaults to) then backup files will be created in a sub-directory of the JMeter base installation. If set and the directory does not exist, a corresponding directory will be created.
Defaults to: ${JMETER_HOME}/backups

No

jmeter.gui.action.save.keep_backup_max_hours

Set the maximum time (in hours) that backup files should be preserved since the save time.
By default no expiration time is set which means we keep backups for ever.
Defaults to: 0

No

jmeter.gui.action.save.keep_backup_max_count

Set the maximum number of backup files that should be preserved. By default ten backups will be preserved.
Setting this to zero will cause the backups to not being deleted (unless keep_backup_max_hours is set to a non zero value).
Defaults to: 10

No

20.7 Remote hosts and RMI configuration¶

Parameters

Attribute

Description

Required

remote_hosts

Remote Hosts - comma delimited, for example

remote_hosts=localhost:1099,localhost:2010

Defaults to: 127.0.0.1

No

server_port

RMI port to be used by the server (must start rmiregistry with same port). To change the port to (say) 1234:
On the server(s):

set server_port=1234

Parameter that controls the RMI port used by the RemoteSampleListenerImpl (The Controler)
Default value is 0, which means port is randomly assigned.

You may need to open a port in the firewall on the Controller machine.

Defaults to: 0

No

client.tries

When distributed test is starting, there may be several attempts to initialize remote engines.
By default, only a single try is made. Increase this property to make it retry additional times.
Defaults to: 1

No

client.retries_delay

If initialization is retried, this property sets the delay between those attempts in milliseconds.
Defaults to: 5000

No

client.continue_on_fail

When all initialization tries were made, the test will fail, if any remote engines are failed.
Set this property to true to ignore failed nodes and proceed with test.
Defaults to: false

No

server.rmi.port

To change the default port (1099) used to access the server.
Defaults to: 1099

No

server.rmi.localport

To use a specific port for the JMeter server engine, define this property before starting the server.
Defaults to: 4000

No

server.rmi.create

From JMeter version 2.3.1, the jmeter server creates the RMI registry as part of the server process.
Set this property to false, to stop the server creating the RMI registry.
Defaults to: true

No

server.exitaftertest

From JMeter version 2.3.1, define this property to cause JMeter to exit after the first test.
Defaults to: true

No

20.8 Include Controller¶

Parameters

Attribute

Description

Required

includecontroller.prefix

Prefix used by IncludeController when building file names.
Defaults to empty value

No

20.9 Logging Configuration¶

JMeter uses Avalon (Excalibur) LogKit. The Logging Format is described here
Default format:

log_format=%{time:yyyy/MM/dd HH:mm:ss} %5.5{priority} - %{category}: %{message} %{throwable}

\n is automatically added to the end of the string.

Predefined formats in the JMeter LoggingManager:

#log_format_type=default
#log_format_type=thread_prefix
#log_format_type=thread_suffix

default: is as above.
thread_prefix: adds the thread name as a prefix to the category.
thread_suffix: adds the thread name as a suffix to the category.

Thread name is not included by default, as it requires extra processing.

To change the logging format, define either log_format_type or log_format If both are defined, the type takes precedence.

Note that these properties cannot be defined using the -J or -D JMeter command-line flags, as the format will have already been determined by then. However, they can be defined as JVM properties.

Logging levels for the logging categories in JMeter. Correct values are:

FATAL_ERROR
ERROR
WARN
INFO
DEBUG

To set the log level for a package or individual class, use:

log_level.[package_name].[classname]=[PRIORITY_LEVEL]

But omit org.apache from the package name. The classname is optional. Further examples below.

log_level.jmeter=INFO
log_level.jmeter.junit=DEBUG
log_level.jmeter.control=DEBUG
log_level.jmeter.testbeans=DEBUG
log_level.jmeter.engine=DEBUG
log_level.jmeter.threads=DEBUG
log_level.jmeter.gui=WARN
log_level.jmeter.testelement=DEBUG
log_level.jmeter.util=WARN
log_level.jmeter.protocol.http=DEBUG
# For CookieManager, AuthManager etc:
log_level.jmeter.protocol.http.control=DEBUG
log_level.jmeter.protocol.ftp=WARN
log_level.jmeter.protocol.jdbc=DEBUG
log_level.jmeter.protocol.java=WARN
log_level.jmeter.testelements.property=DEBUG
log_level.jorphan=INFO

You can specify a different log file for different categories via:

log_file.[category]=[filename]

category is equivalent to the package/class names described above.
Combined log file (for jmeter and jorphan)

log_file=jmeter.log

To redirect logging to standard output, try the following (it will probably report an error, but output will be to stdout):

log_file=

Or define separate logs if required:

log_file.jorphan=jorphan.log
log_file.jmeter=jmeter.log

If the filename contains paired single-quotes, then the name is processed as a SimpleDateFormat format applied to the current date, for example:

log_file='jmeter_'yyyyMMddHHmmss'.tmp'

When JMeter starts, it sets the system property: org.apache.commons.logging.Log to org.apache.commons.logging.impl.LogKitLogger if not already set. This causes Apache and Commons HttpClient to use the same logging as JMeter.
Excalibur logging provides the facility to configure logging using configuration files written in XML. This allows for such features as log file rotation, which are not supported directly by JMeter. If such a file is specified, it will be applied to the current logging hierarchy when that has been created.

log_config=logkit.xml

20.10 HTTP Java configuration¶

Parameters

20.12 Kerberos properties¶

Parameters

Attribute

Description

Required

20.13 Sample logging levels for Commons HttpClient¶

Commons HttpClient Logging information can be found at Logging

Note that full category names are used, i.e. must include the org.apache.

Info level produces no output.
Set debug level:

log_level.org.apache.commons.httpclient=debug

Might be useful:

log_level.org.apache.commons.httpclient.Authenticator=trace

Show headers only

log_level.httpclient.wire.header=debug

Full wire debug produces a lot of output; consider using separate file:

log_level.httpclient.wire=debug
log_file.httpclient=httpclient.log

20.14 Apache HttpClient logging examples¶

Enable header wire and context logging - Best for Debugging

log_level.org.apache.http=DEBUG
log_level.org.apache.http.wire=ERROR

Enable full wire and context logging

log_level.org.apache.http=DEBUG

Enable context logging for connection management

log_level.org.apache.http.impl.conn=DEBUG

Enable context logging for connection management / request execution

20.25 Remote batching configuration¶

Configure how SampleResults are sent from server to client when using distributed testing.

Note that the mode is currently resolved on the client, while other properties (e.g. time_threshold) are resolved on the server.

Since JMeter version 2.9, default is StrippedBatch, which returns samples in batch mode (every 100 samples or every minute by default).
You can set mode by configuring:

mode=one of the possible modes below

StrippedBatch strips response data from SampleResult, so if you need the response data, change to another mode.

Possible modes are:

Standard: Sends SampleResult one by one
Batch: Accumulates SampleResults before sending them. Configured by properties num_sample_threshold and time_threshold
Hold: retains samples until end of test (may need lots of memory)
The related hold_samples was originally defined as a separate property, but is deprecated now.
Statistical: returns sample summary statistics. Configured by properties key_on_threadname and time_threshold
Stripped: Similar to Standard mode but strips Response from SampleResult. Configured by property sample_sender_strip_also_on_error
StrippedBatch: Same as Batch but strips Response from SampleResult. Configured by properties num_sample_threshold, time_threshold and sample_sender_strip_also_on_error
Asynch: Asynchronous sender; uses a queue and background worker process to return the samples. Configured by propertiy asynch.batch.queue.size
StrippedAsynch: Same as Asynch but strips response data from SampleResult. Configured by properties asynch.batch.queue.size and sample_sender_strip_also_on_error
StrippedDiskStore: Same as DiskStore but strips response data from SampleResult
Class extending AbstractSampleSender (org.example.load.MySampleSender for example): A custom implementation of your choice
