I'm incredibly new to jMeter and am trying to create a test plan that will send 1000 users over the course of an hour. Originally I understood the ramp-up period to be how long it took all users to complete the task so I had:

Number of threads (users): 1000
Ramp-up Period (in seconds): 3600
Loop Count: 1

This however seems to be spinning up a lot more than what I need, which is basically one user pinging the server every 3.6 seconds.

What variable am I doing wrong? Is it possible to run a test this low?

You should use Constant Throughput Timer . In your case you need to configure Target throutput to 16. And set Number of Threads value * Loop count = 1000. For example, 50 and 20.
