Newbie questions
I am new to JMeter but have a lot of experience using LoadRunner and Silk
Performer. There are a couple of features in these applications that I can't
find in JMeter:
1. Monitor system resources remotely, especially Linu/Unix devises. I know
how to monitor Tomcat servers using the Monitor Results listener but I also
want to monitor CPU utilization and other resources. If this can't be done
in JMeter can anyone suggest other tools to remotely monitor system
resources on Linux/Unix machines? (I know about Perfmon for Windows)
2. Some of the applications I test send several HTTP requests for a single
transaction. LoadRunner has the ability to wrap a "timer" around these
requests and report the total response time for the entire transaction. Is
there a way to do this in JMeter?
Regard,
Ron Miller

One decent open source option for Mercury Diagnostics-like
functionality: http://www.zabbix.org
Zabbix allows you to monitor standard performance metrics of multiple
server tiers via your web browser. In addition to standard stuff like
CPU load, you can create custom metrics (i.e. pulling out JVM GC metrics
using Java 5 jstat utility, vmstat metrics such as number of processes
blocked, etc.), and build custom screens containing multiple graphs of
these metrics that can be easily viewed on one web page while the load
test runs.

There aren't any tools in JMeter to do this.
Once you have found out how to get the data, you could write your own
sampler, either in plain Java or using the BeanShell sampler.
