Where to find UniversalServerAgent?.zip ?

Thanks

Hi, it is not released yet, but we may post a beta soon. You can build it from the sources if you want, it is ready :)

Hello,

This looks very promising, is there already a release date set for the beta?

Kind Regards,

Danny

Hi, Danny, Specific date wasn't set yet, but it's almost released. If you interested, I can send you current snapshot to try.

I am very interested, please do. I have been trying to build it, but I am failing to do so. Could you please provide a tutorial, how to build (with eclipse, if possible). In case I want to add something in the near future. Thinking of a save button for the graph produced. Kind regards,

Danny

Hi Danny,

I have already in mind the save to image functionality. As of now, you can right click the graph and copy it to clipboard. For building the project, I recommend you to use NetBean IDE, it is simpler to integrate the JUnit tests. Also we provide the build file which do all the job.

Regards,

Stephane

The feature save as png image is now added :)

Stephane

Hi Stephane,

How to collect counters from tomcat server,can u give me details about this.

Hi,

You can find this information in JMeter documentation: http://jakarta.apache.org/jmeter/usermanual/build-monitor-test-plan.html

Hi,

this is a great plugin.

Have you scheduled automatic backup of the graph at the end of a run? This could be useful for automatic run with non GUI mode.

Thanks.

Hi Lucas,

Thanks for your feedback! It could be a nice addition, I will check if it can be done.

Hi,

Where can get it for download? Thnx in Advance.

Hi, From the download link in the home page...

Cool ! ..Works great !

Hi,

I am unable to get the results from plugin when I run jmeter from command prompt. I started the serveragent and then started jmeter with command -

jmeter -n -t mytest.jmx -l log.jtl

Hi,

It will be added in the next release.

Stephane

Hi Stephane,

Thanks for adding, I tested at the next release.

Lucas.

Hi

Thanks for creating such a sexy plugin.

Apart for this i need help on a problem.

I have 1000 requests for which I want the graph to be created (Server Monitoring).

But i am not able to save the graph for complete test as it keeps on running from right to left and eventually it stops when test gets finished and the result shown on the graph is for just few request not for complete 1000 request.

Please can anybody help me on this ?

TIA Gaurav

Hi,

The graphs will collect the server metrics during the test plan execution. How did you organized your test plan?

I am just sending the login request for say 500 users on 2 sec interval.

Is there anything that needs to be configured in Jmeter test plan.

Please suggest

Please send me your test plan, I still don't understand where is the problem...

I got this problem, please tell me why:

[root@mar serverAgent]# sh startAgent.sh : command not found 2: JMeterPlugins Agent version 1.3 No valid port specified, the default value is used: 4444 liblibsigar-x86-linux.so: liblibsigar-x86-linux.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory org.hyperic.sigar.SigarException?: liblibsigar-x86-linux.so: liblibsigar-x86-linux.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

please start the agent using ./startAgent.sh

When (approximately of course) do you release next version with graph saving in console mode?

Hi, You can find a beta in the download section (select deprecated downloads). 0.3.1 beta 2 has this functionality enabled. Official release date is not defined yet.

Hi,

The functionality works great if all the servers to monitor are up and running. If one of the servers is not active or the agent crashes, then the graphs are no longer showing data of the other servers (which are still active). Also the data that was shown before the agent crashes is no longer visible for CPU and memory.

Secondly: I see different behaviour for the metrics to collect when the connection is lost. CPU and memory show an error telling that the connection is lost with the particular server. The other 3 metrics still show the graph, but it is no longer updated.

Kind Regards, Sander

Hi,

The different behavior is fixed already ( issue 7 ). The agent should not crash, did it happens to you?

Hi Stephane, It was my fault the agent stopped....my roots are in testing applications ;-)

What will be the future behaviour if one of the agents is not active? Will the other agents still populate the graphs or will I see an error in all five metrics? In case of the last, I want to request an enhancement ;-)

Hi Stephane, How often are the metrics collected (each second?). Is there any way to change this? Or is it possible to do some aggregation afterwards?

I'm running a test for 1 hour now and the CPU is constantly changing between 20 and 90%....so i'm seeing a big red blur :-)

Kind Regards, Sander

why don't you use limit nb of point option??? I think it is available in 0.3.0 no?

That will work....I thought I was using beta2, but apparantly I was using beta1, which does not contain that option.

Thanks. Any ideas when we can expect 0.3.1 officially?

Hi, Sander, The date of next release is stil not known. When we'll have Composite Graph implemented and all features tested - we'll release.

Hi,

thanks for a good plug-in!

Is it possible to use axis labeling? It would be great to have some basic units like %, MB, MB/sec, etc. Does CPU consumption (100 mean e.g. 4x100 % on a quad core system?)

Secondly, I wanted to ask if the time-axis can be changed to relative time. It does not matter if my test was started at a specific time, but how long the test took exactly (e.g. seconds to hours). This would also safe space for the time axis...

An automatic scaling, depending on test duration, would be optimal.

Feel free to point me to beta / testing releases for that.

yes, 100 on a quad core means 4*100. Labels could be a nice addition, we will look at it, as well as relative time. X axis is already auto scaling, total time is divided by 10... What exactly do you mean?

Thanks, you are right. Scaling works well. If you have had the time to introduce axis labels and relative test time, please let me (us) know :)

Hi, axis labels is done. You can see a sample in RespTimePercentiles

Nice, is there another beta release available where it could be checked out?

Btw, is it possible to user user variables in the performance module? I've variables defined via the user.properties file (which work fine but I get the following message: java.lang.ClassCastException?: org.apache.jmeter.testelement.property.FunctionProperty? cannot be cast to org.apache.jmeter.testelement.property.StringProperty? at kg.apc.jmeter.perfmon.PerformanceMonitoringTestElement?.getConnectors(PerformanceMonitoringTestElement?.java:101) Variables using this syntax: ${property(server1,localhost)}. Am I doing something wrong?

Additionally, I've a problem when connecting to the Network I/O Performance Monitor. All other monitors work fine. I get a connection lost message on the agent. Are there additional settings which can influence this? Perhaps someone can reconfirm with 4 active perfmon listeners? Otherwise, whould I file a report?

Is there any way to collect that data to make the graphs by myself???

Next release will have "export graph data to CSV" feature.

Folks! Let's use discussion group, comments become unusable as you see...

Hi, I noticed the new option to load a Perfmon File, but what kind of extension does it look for?

It consumes files generated during command-line run...

Hi, yes, it reads jppm files (JPPM=JMeter Plugins Peformance Monitoring). In command line, you can specify "-Jjppmfile=/path/to/file.jppm". If nothing is specified, a file is created in the running path of JMeter, named perfmon_yyyyMMdd-HHmmss.jppm.

Hi again, I really fancy the preview charts.

Question about the scaling: If I select to limit the numer of points in a row for the networks I/O the Y-axis still shows 150.000 a max number of KB/s while the graph does not exceed 15000. Because of this the lines are barely visible. Is there a possibility to auto-scale or manually adjust to see 30.000 as a max number for example?

Hi Sander, Can you send me a jppm file to test? Can you add a screenshot of what you get?

Hi Stephane, I e-mailed a file to you. Let me know if you received it correctly.

I think it would be really fine if u could explain the installation of 0.3.0 version by a Video recording..... because it seems a bit complicated..!!@@!! I have tried this twice r thrice but couldn't get things fall in place

Is the CPU graph also including I/O Wait or just kernel and user?

I've just downloaded version 0.3.1 beta 2 as you suggested in date 28/12/2010. I cannot find the functionality to save graph images to file.

Hi Marco, The graph is not saved, but the collected metrics in a jppm file. Then you can reload these files in a graph from jmeter. The CPU metric is Sum of User + Sys + Nice + Wait.

Ok for jppm file. Are you interested in adding a functionality to enable/disable Wait from CPU graph?

Trying this with distributed testing, it borks - http://pastebin.com/sMzpSu4V

Hi,

I don't see any class from the plugin in the stack. Are you sure your test works without the plugin? Which version of the plugin do you use?

Hi Stephane,

I grabbed the latest and greatest set of plugins this morning. Tests work without the plugins, and all works fine when not using distributed testing approach.

cheers Slinky

If it is the 0.3.0 version, the feature is not implemented. It will be added in the next version only. A beta with all features of the next release may be out soon.

Hi,

I am facing a problem while starting the server agent in linux, i started the the agent : sh startAgent.sh

and the error am facing is as given below: : command not found 2: JMeterPlugins Agent version 1.3 No valid port specified, the default value is used: 4444 Could not listen on port: 4444. Please specify another port...

Please help me out

Well, do what is told, use another port...

Hi Stephane,

I tried giving another port too,as given: sh startAgent.sh 8989

command not found 2: JMeterPlugins Agent version 1.3 No valid port specified, the default value is used: 4444 Could not listen on port: 4444. Please specify another port...

Hi,

Please download last RC version (link in the home page) and follow the installation guide: http://code.google.com/p/jmeter-plugins/wiki/PerfMon#Installation

Hi Stephane,

Is is working perfectly now, thanks...

Hi,

the plugin is working properly, but when I try to run the script in remote server the script is not running and when I click on plugin its not opening and am getting an exception as below:

Using remote object: UnicastRef? [liveRef: [endpoint:[192.168.10.34:49636](remote),objID:[46afad87:12def9d7d08:-7fff, -8552588589970881623]]]
