I need to connect and send request for websocket from different IPs in jmeter to my singalR server. How can I do it. I know in case of HTTP request we can do that in jmeter by creating multiple IP addresses alias on the machine as mentioned in the link https://www.blazemeter.com/blog/how-to-send-jmeter-requests-from-different-ips. How this process will work for websockets.?

Thanks.

It will not as the possibility to set outgoing IP address needs to be present in the WebSocket plugin you're using.

Currently available solution is to allocate as many machines as IP addresses you need and run JMeter in distributed mode. If a single machine is powerful enough you can kick off several JMeter slave processes there, keep in mind that:

  • you need to have these IP addresses (or aliases) defined at OS level
  • you need to bind the slaves to different ports

If you can do Java programming you can add it yourself, the project lives at https://github.com/ptrd/jmeter-websocket-samplers, somewhere here

If you cannot - you can ask the plugin developer to add this feature either via GitHub or try reaching out to him via JMeter Plugins Support Forum
