Setup:

Jmeter Master:

  • machine1

Jmeter slaves:

  • machine1
  • machine2

Sometimes, I get a

java.rmi.ConnectException: Connection refused to host

when the Jmeter Master (machine1) tries to connect to the slave (machine1)

Configuring remote engine for XX.XX.XX.XX [info] Failure connecting to remote host: XX.XX.XX.XX java.rmi.ConnectException: Connection refused to host: XX.XX.XX.XX; nested exception is: [info] java.net.ConnectException: Connection refused

Any idea? Is it even ok for the Jmeter master and slave to be on the same machine?

I'm using the Jmeter maven plugin. I manually start the jmeter-server process before each test.

Jmeter distributed setup should be on 2 separate machines, otherwise it does not solve the purpose.

Ideal setup is: Master (machine 1)

Slave 1 (machine 2) Slave 2 (machine 3)
