JMeter - Stop remote server

6
votes

I am running JMeter in distributed mode (1 master & 2 slaves).

In my master machine, I issue below command

jmeter -n -t script.jmx -r

It starts the test in both slave machines & works great. If i need to stop the test (in non-gui mode), If i press ctrl+c, It just stops the master. slaves keep executing the test. I also tried shutdown.cmd. master shows that 'shutdown received from 127.0.0.1` but did nothing.

Question:

What is the best way to stop test while it is running?

I don't think there is easy way provided by jmeter to handle such situation. Workaround would be to call stoptest.sh/cmd on each server from server remotely using ssh. I am not sure if this a valid requirement but you sure can log a bug/limitation on bugzilla Jmeter list. Post the reply here for everyone. Thanks. – Nachiket Kate
@NachiketKate, thanks. I think it should be valid as the GUI mode gives an option for 'Remote Stop All' to stop the test abruptly. There is no option in non gui mode. – KitKarson
Yes. Some mechanism/switch/option should be present in non-gui mode as well. – Nachiket Kate

Running shutdown.sh or stoptest.sh works well for me.

I run it on the master, the slaves receives the shutdown/stopsignal and starts to close down.

When running through jenkins, I issue the shutdown/stop command on the jenkins slave running the test.

to stop the distributed test, you need to run the following command on the wizard: ./shutdown.sh do not forget to go to the jmeter / bin folder first. after running this command, the master will send all subordinates a command to stop the test
