How can I give serial number for the each slave in Jmeter distributed testing?

Question

I want to run jmeter distributed setup, but for some reason I need to Identify each slave with serial number, how can I give the serial number to all slaves like one slave has serial number 1, another is 2 and so on.

Is there any function in jmeter? giving in user input file is not the feasible solution for my setup. Think that only I have access to the master system.

When you start those slaves you have to pass the variable with -J argument like that:

    for slave in slaves:           
        serial_index += 1
        run_jmeter_server_cmd = 'nohup java -jar "/bin/ApacheJMeter.jar" "-Djava.rmi.server.hostname={0}" -Dserver_port={1} -Jserial_index={3} > /dev/null 2>&1 '.format(hostname, port, serial_index)

And serial_index must be in User Defined Variables in test plan: serial_index: ${__P(serial_index)} Windows batch:

for /l %x in (1, 1, 100) do (
   echo %x
   jmeter -n -t C:\User\Scriptname.jmx -Jusers=0 -Jserial_number=%x
)

Linux bash:

for i in {1..5}
    cd $JMETER_DIR/bin/
    DIRNAME=`dirname $0`   
    nohup java $JVM_ARGS -jar "$JMETER_DIR/bin/ApacheJMeter.jar" "$@" "-Djava.rmi.server.hostname=$host" -Dserver_port=\$port -s -Jpoll=\$i > /dev/null 2>&1 &
done;
