I'm trying non-GUI and distributed JMeter load-testing.

Before I go distributed, I tested it locally. I installed JMeter on my laptop and setup a testplan targeting the system under test. I installed the plugin manager and install the concurrent thread plugin. I found my JMX file to be correct and working, so I decided to rollout the distributed setting.

I setup three machines for load generation : load-1, load-2 and load-3. I installed JMeter as follow : apt update ; apt upgrade on all of them apt install jmeter on all of them copied the JARs located in /usr/share/jmeter/lib/ext of my laptop to all of them, in the same directory :

jmeter-plugins-casutg-2.1.jar
jmeter-plugins-cmn-jmeter-0.3.jar
jmeter-plugins-manager-0.11.jar

I started the JMeter server on two of them as follow :

export JMETER_HOME=/usr ; $JMETER_HOME/bin/jmeter-server -Djava.rmi.server.hostname=207.112.137.21
export JMETER_HOME=/usr ; $JMETER_HOME/bin/jmeter-server -Djava.rmi.server.hostname=207.112.137.22

I use the third one to start the distributed testing as follow :

jmeter -n -t ~/JMeter_API_TestPlan.jmx -R207.112.137.21,207.112.137.22

The distrubuted setting seems to start correctly, but the thread start fail probably because of a class not being found :

java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.blazemeter.jmeter.threads.concurrency.ConcurrencyThreadGroup (no security manager: RMI class loader disabled)

A I missing a JAR or a configuration parameter ?

The jmeter.log shows the following :

  1. jmeter-plugins-cmn-jmeter-0.3.jar should go to "lib" folder, not to "lib/ext"
  2. You are using JMeter 2.11 which is 3+ years old, I would recommend upgrading to JMeter 3.2 (or later) by manually downloading it from JMeter downloads page. Ubuntu repositories seem to contain very outdated JMeter's version
  3. To avoid any issues with plugins manual installation I would suggest installing the same plugins set on the master host and all the slaves using JMeter Plugins Manager
