1, since we are using JMeter as a monitor. This is very important for those not
familiar with server monitors. As a general rule, using multiple threads for a
single server is bad and can create significant stress.

+<p>A quick note about how health is calculated. Typically, a server will crash if
it runs out of memory, or reached the maximum number of threads. In the case of
Tomcat 5, once the threads are maxed out, requests are placed in a queue until a
thread is available. The relative importance of threads vary between containers, so
the current implementation uses 50/50 to be conservative. A container that is more
efficient with thread management might not see any performance degradation, but
-the used memory definitely will show an impact.

+<p>The performance graph shows four different lines. The free memory line shows how
much free memory is left in the current allocated block. Tomcat 5 returns the maximum
memory, but it is not graphed. In a well tuned environment, the server should never

+<p>Note the graph has captions on both sides of the graph. On the left is percent and
the right is dead/healthy. If the memory line spikes up and down rapidly, it could
indicate memory thrashing. In those situations, it is a good idea to profile the
application with Borland OptimizeIt or JProbe. What you want to see is a regular
pattern for load, memory and threads. Any erratic behavior usually indicates poor
-performance or a bug of some sort.

There are two types of stop command available from the menu:
-
<ul>
-
-
-<li>
-Stop (Control + '.') - stops the threads immediately if possible.
+<li>Stop (Control + '.') - stops the threads immediately if possible.
In Versions of JMeter after 2.3.2, many samplers are now Interruptible which means that active samples can be terminated early.
The stop command will check that all threads have stopped within the default timeout, which is 5000 ms = 5 seconds.
-[This can be changed using the JMeter property
-<code>
-jmeterengine.threadstop.wait
-</code>
-]
+[This can be changed using the JMeter property <span class="code">jmeterengine.threadstop.wait</span>]
If the threads have not stopped, then a message is displayed.
The Stop command can be retried, but if it fails, then it is necessary to exit JMeter to clean up.
-
</li>
-
-
-<li>
-Shutdown (Control + ',')- requests the threads to stop at the end of any current work.
+<li>Shutdown (Control + ',')- requests the threads to stop at the end of any current work.
Will not interrupt any active samples.
-The modal shutdown dialog box will remain active until all threads have stopped.

-
+The modal shutdown dialog box will remain active until all threads have stopped.</li>
</ul>

Versions of JMeter after 2.3.2 allow a Stop to be initiated if Shutdown is taking too long.
Close the Shutdown dialog box and select Run/Stop, or just press Control + '.'.
-
</p>
<p>
-
When running JMeter in non-GUI mode, there is no Menu, and JMeter does not react to keystrokes such as Control + '.'.
So in versions after 2.3.2, JMeter non-GUI mode will listen for commands on a specific port
-(default 4445, see the JMeter property
-<code>
-jmeterengine.nongui.port
-</code>
-).
+(default 4445, see the JMeter property <span class="code">jmeterengine.nongui.port</span>).
In versions after 2.4, JMeter supports automatic choice of an alternate port if the default port is being used
(for example by another JMeter instance). In this case, JMeter will try the next higher port, continuing until
-it reaches the JMeter property
-<code>
-jmeterengine.nongui.maxport
-</code>
-) which defaults to 4455.
-If
-<code>
-maxport
-</code>
- is less than or equal to
-<code>
-port
-</code>
-, port scanning will not take place.
+it reaches the JMeter property <span class="code">jmeterengine.nongui.maxport</span>) which defaults to 4455.
+If <span class="code">maxport</span> is less than or equal to <span class="code">port</span>, port scanning will not take place.
Note that JMeter 2.4 and earlier did not set up the listener for non-GUI clients, only non-GUI standalone tests;
this has been fixed.
-
<br>

The chosen port is displayed in the console window.
-

The commands currently supported are:
-
<ul>
-
-
-<li>
-Shutdown - graceful shutdown
-</li>
-
-
-<li>
-StopTestNow - immediate shutdown
-</li>
-
-
+<li>Shutdown - graceful shutdown</li>
+<li>StopTestNow - immediate shutdown</li>
</ul>
-
-These commands can be sent by using the
-<code>
-shutdown[.cmd|.sh]
-</code>
- or
-<code>
-stoptest[.cmd|.sh]
-</code>
- script
-respectively. The scripts are to be found in the JMeter
-<code>
-bin
-</code>
- directory.
+These commands can be sent by using the <span class="code">shutdown[.cmd|.sh]</span> or <span class="code">stoptest[.cmd|.sh]</span> script

The commands will only be accepted if the script is run from the same host.

JMeter reports warnings and errors to the jmeter.log file, as well as some information on the test run itself.
JMeter shows at the right hand end of its window, the number of warnings/errors found in jmeter.log file next to the warning icon.
Click on the warning icon to show the jmeter.log file at the bottom of JMeter's window.
Just occasionally there may be some errors that JMeter is unable to trap and log; these will appear on the command console.
If a test is not behaving as you expect, please check the log file in case any errors have been reported (e.g. perhaps a syntax error in a function call).
-
</p>
<p>
-
Sampling errors (e.g. HTTP 404 - file not found) are not normally reported in the log file.
Instead these are stored as attributes of the sample result.
The status of a sample result can be seen in the various different Listeners.
