I am using jmeter 2.13 [latest version]. Running a loadtest on https web application with a load of 10000 users. I am using 40 [x250 users/LG] load generators for this. All are 8gb ram & quadcore processors & CentOS operated. I am getting java.net.socket exception: connection reset issue. I tried in both options using keep-alive checked & unchecked. Done all the recommendations need to avoid this issue. Still I am getting the issue. Server is also not showing any issues/logs on reset. Please help me in understanding the root cause for this issue & how can I avoid this issue.
Also I didn't quite understand the active threads overtime graph? Why the spikes in the graph? Does it mean the thread will connect again after reset? [I have used stop thread on error].
