Random timer help

["Faulkner, Jeffrey" <je...@IDEXX.com>]

I would like to create a simple load test where I create 10 threads in a
thread group which execute 2 http requests each.  I would like to assign
each thread a random time say between 0 and 10 minutes before executing the
consecutive requests.  I've tried adding the two requests to the thread
group and a random timer in all sorts of configurations of hierarchies.
Whatever I try it seems like I get a random time but that it is assigned the
same amount to each thread.  I set the random timer delay to 600000 and the
constant part to 0.  Is it possible someone could draw out this seemingly
simply configuration or suggest something else to try?

Not sure why it isn't working - maybe there's a bug.

You could try a constant timer with a value obtained from the __Random
function, e.g. use the following:

${__Random(0,600000,VAL)}

There's not much room in the box, but it does work.

If you want to log the values, you can surround the above with:

${__log(     and       )}

[This will log the enclosed value and return the value without changing it.]

You probably know this, but just in case:
Timers are applied to all samplers in scope, and are applied before the sample.
In your case you probably need something like:

Thread Group
  HTTP 1
     Timer (will delay before HTTP 1)
  HTTP 2

[The scope of a Timer is its parent, and all siblings, whether before
or after in the tree]
