Jmeter on remote host

Post by elinagios »

Hello

is it possible to do jmeter tests when jmeter is on remote host? We have a website (kerberos login) which we couldnt get to work with linux (Nagios XI server) jmeter, is working nicely with a Windows server which is in domain. So, can i run jmeter tests on remote windows server and get results/graphics back to nagios xi. Can it be done over nrpe?

Regards,
Mirgo

So you want a script that:
  • Triggers a JMeter test on a remote machine
  • Collects the results
  • Ships the results back to Nagios XI as a Service check
This comes close, but it requires a Perl environment (painful to setup on Windows) and doesn't tackle reporting the test results in a Nagios friendly way. It just reports runtime:

I haven't used "nagios_jmeter_check", but you should be able to set up the checks to run on the windows machine (as passive checks in NSClient++ or NCPA), then send the passive check results back to Nagios XI.
