Jmeter -Lorg.apache.jmeter.engine=DEBUG jmeter -Lcom.example.foo=DEBUG jmeter -LDEBUG. Differences in Logging: Old vs New Practices: As JMeter uses SLF4J as logging API and Apache Log4j 2 as a logging framework since 3.2, not every log level used before 3.2 can match exactly with one of the new available log levels provided by SLF4J/Log4j2. If you wish to install jmeter-plugins along with JMeter, add the -with-plugins flag. After a couple of minutes, JMeter should be installed and ready to use. Launch HomeBrew; JMeter should be now available as a command-line, try jmeter -? And you should see something like: macos: macos$ jmeter -?
The Apache JMeter™ application is open source software, a 100% pure Java application designed to load test functional behavior and measure performance. It was originally designed for testing Web Applications but has since expanded to other test functions.

What can I do with it?
Apache JMeter may be used to test performance both on static and dynamic resources, Web dynamic applications.
It can be used to simulate a heavy load on a server, group of servers, network or object to test its strength or to analyze overall performance under different load types.
It can be used to simulate a heavy load on a server, group of servers, network or object to test its strength or to analyze overall performance under different load types.
Apache JMeter features include:
- Ability to load and performance test many different applications/server/protocol types:
- Web - HTTP, HTTPS (Java, NodeJS, PHP, ASP.NET, …)
- SOAP / REST Webservices
- FTP
- Database via JDBC
- LDAP
- Message-oriented middleware (MOM) via JMS
- Mail - SMTP(S), POP3(S) and IMAP(S)
- Native commands or shell scripts
- TCP
- Java Objects
- Full featured Test IDE that allows fast Test Plan recording (from Browsers or native applications), building and debugging.
- CLI mode (Command-line mode (previously called Non GUI) / headless mode) to load test from any Java compatible OS (Linux, Windows, Mac OSX, …)
- A complete and ready to present dynamic HTML report
- Easy correlation through ability to extract data from most popular response formats, HTML, JSON , XML or any textual format
- Complete portability and 100% Java purity.
- Full multi-threading framework allows concurrent sampling by many threads and simultaneous sampling of different functions by separate thread groups.
- Caching and offline analysis/replaying of test results.
- Highly Extensible core:
- Pluggable Samplers allow unlimited testing capabilities.
- Scriptable Samplers (JSR223-compatible languages like Groovy and BeanShell)
- Several load statistics may be chosen with pluggable timers.
- Data analysis and visualization plugins allow great extensibility as well as personalization.
- Functions can be used to provide dynamic input to a test or provide data manipulation.
- Easy Continuous Integration through 3rd party Open Source libraries for Maven, Gradle and Jenkins.
How do I do it?
- Using JMeter to understand how to use it
- Component reference to have detailed information for every Test element
- Functions reference to have detailed information and examples for every function
- Properties reference for all properties that allow you to customize JMeter
- Building JMeter and Add-Ons for advanced usage
JMeter is not a browser
JMeter is not a browser, it works at protocol level.As far as web-services and remote services are concerned, JMeter looks like a browser (or rather, multiple browsers);however JMeter does not perform all the actions supported by browsers.In particular, JMeter does not execute the Javascript found in HTML pages.Nor does it render the HTML pages as a browser does(it's possible to view the response as HTML etc., but the timings are not included in any samples, and only one sample in one thread is ever displayed at a time).

Today Apache has released its next iteration of JMeter version 5.3 with new features, bug fixes, and enhancements. It's been almost five months since its last release 5.2.1. You can check out earlier post about what's new in Apache JMeter 5.2.1. In this blog post, we are going to see what's new in JMeter 5.3.
How to download Apache JMeter 5.3?
Head to https://jmeter.apache.org/download_jmeter.cgi to download the latest version of JMeter and verify its integrity.
Extract the contents and navigate to
bin
folder and launch jmeter.bat
in Windows or jmeter.sh
in Mac or Linux.What's new in Apache JMeter 5.3?
Start up time
Apache Jmeter 4
I am seeing a significant improvement in the startup time in Windows 10 Pro. Splash screen vanishing quicker which brings the JMeter IDE instantly.
New Themes
![Apache Apache](/uploads/1/2/4/4/124421547/512322915.png)
More themes have been added in JMeter 5.3 including various look and feel of Darklaf theme. My favorite is Darklaf - IntelliJ during day; Darklaf - Darcula during night.
No need to restart JMeter after changing the theme and you can also see the radio button of the list of themes which will denote the current selected theme in the menu.
Similarly for Log Level selection.
Visual representation of Disabled elements
In JMeter 5.3 if you disable any element now it will disable all its descendants. In below example
memorySample2
and its child elements are disabled too.Also, you could see the tracing of the selected element to understand its indentation.
Zoom in/out shortcut now is CTRL + ALT + wheel. JMeter 5.3 now scales better and looks consistent across all the elements.
Now you can Undo/Redo
We all make mistakes, now you can undo/redo field level changes. Here is the quick GIF.
Most of elements has undergone UI revamp. Its looks tidy.
Generate Schematic View is still in alpha.
New JMeter Template
There is a new template has been added called Functional Testing Test Plan which has a Thread Group and View Results Tree.
Groovy library has been updated to 3.0.3 which means your older Groovy script might break in JMeter 5.3.
Apart from above features, there have been bug fixes, UX revamp across elements, non-functional changes and many more in JMeter 5.3.
