Can someone please tell me the process to configure different load on slaves machines? I would like to set different number of threads for different slaves.

Slave 1 - 60 threads Slave 2- 100 threads Slave 3- 200 threads

Also how does jmeter master manage load on slaves. If i have 1000 threads and 4 slave machines, would Jmeter run 250 threads on each slave machine?

Thanks

what do you mean by slave? different machines, different instances, different load testing targets please elaborate – Nachiket Kate
I am referring to master-slave distributed load setup in jmeter? Basically running tests on different machines and controlling them from the master machine – Charan Sethi
maybe this is useful, jmeter.apache.org/usermanual/… – Nachiket Kate
I've already gone through the manual and i'm able to perform testing in the distributed environment. I want to know How to control the load on different slaves with the master. Unfortunately that is not described in the manual. – Charan Sethi

Execute JMeter from command line, non-gui mode. Provide the slave, thread count etc..from command line. This way you can have control on the thread count per slave.

JMeter do not share its load between slaves. The slaves will also get copy of your plan and execute them individually from respective slaves. If you use 1 thread and 100 loops with 3 slaves, total number of hits would become 300 (100 from each slave).
