ANT / Jmeter Installation

Install Jmeter on the same server as Hudson. If you have Java JDK 1.5 or 1.6 set up correctly and ant, you can achieve this just by  downloading a Jmeter package and expanding. In the /extra's directory is a jar library ant-jmeter-1.0.9.jar to allow you run jmeter from within Ant.

Make a Jmeter plan . For example, simple_get.jmx a jmeter plan (included as attachment), reads a series of hosts out of a CSV file and GET's them. The structure of the CSV file is host,URI,port, protocol (http/https) and looks similar to: 

Hosts.txt
qa1-nl.sakaiproject.org,/portal/,80,http
qa1-nl.sakaiproject.org,/portal/,443,https

 To change location of the hosts.txt file, click on the "Lists of hosts file" icon.

If you run within Jmeter, expect a result similar to:



 

By adding more hosts and increasing the number of iterations in "Thread Group". You can get a page from any arbitrary web site.

The following Ant script will run the plan if it sits under the jmeter directory (/home/alan/Sakai/jakarta-jmeter-2.3.4) and then relative alans_examples//plans the results in alans_examples/results.
Note: Both the results and plans directory need to be read and writeable by the Hudson user.


 Ant script
<project>
    <property name="jmeter" location="/home/alan/Sakai/jakarta-jmeter-2.3.4" />
        <taskdef
        name="jmeter"
        classname="org.programmerplanet.ant.taskdefs.jmeter.JMeterTask"
        classpath="${jmeter}/extras/ant-jmeter-1.0.9.jar"   />
    <target name="jmeter.init">
        <echo message="[init] jmeter = ${jmeter}" />
        <mkdir  dir="alans_examples/results"/>
        <delete includeemptydirs="true">
            <fileset dir="alans_examples/results" includes="**/*" />
        </delete>
    </target>
    <target name="jmeter.tests" depends="jmeter.init" description="launch jmeter load tests">
        <echo message="[Running] jmeter tests..." />
        <jmeter
            jmeterhome="${jmeter}"
            resultlog="alans_examples/results/LoadTestResults.jtl">
            <testplans dir="alans_examples/plans" includes="*.jmx"/>
        </jmeter>
    </target>
</project>


Running Ant against the build.xml file should produce results similar to: 

jmeter.init:
     [echo] [init] jmeter = /home/alan/Sakai/jakarta-jmeter-2.3.4

jmeter.tests:
     [echo] [Running] jmeter tests...

Hudson Installation



 To run this from Hudson and create nicely formatted reports requires the addition of a Jmeter plugin.
