Jmeter master slave connection time out error

Question

we are facing issue, while trying to run jmeter distribution testing with master and slave configuration on different machines. Jmeter distribution test is running fine on same machine , but we are getting Connection refused to host: xxx.xxx.xxx.xx; nested exception is:java.net.ConnectException: Connection timed out: connect Failed to configure xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx

Answer 1

Most probably your networking configuration is not correct. Make sure that:

1. JMeter master and slaves reside in the same subnet, to wit you should be able to reach out from any machine to any machine

2. The network ports are open in the firewalls so JMeter master could communicate with slaves, the ports are:

   • 1099
   • the port you define as server.rmi.localport
   • the ports you define as client.rmi.localport

In case of any problems look into jmeter.log file, normally it contains enough information in order to get to the bottom of the issue
