"light-weight" jmeter version
When executing distributed test using JMeter, "full-fledged" jmeter has to
be installed on each machine generating the load.
Is it possible to have a "light weight" JMeter version which can be used to
execute test from a machine without needing to have libraries / files which
are required for additional operation like launching JMeter GUI etc.
This would save memory on test agent and would make JMeter installation on
the fly quicker.
Thanks

No, because the jars to be omitted will depend on the test plan.
The jars I gave as examples are of course needed for some test plans;
for some users they may be the majority of test plans.

Very unlikely to be implemented.

Is it worth having such stripped-down version of Jmeter?
I can file an enhancement ticket for it?
Thanks

It's not possible to separate the GUI and non-GUI jars, but when
JMeter runs non-GUI it tries very hard not to load more classes than
are required.
However you can reduce the deployment size by dropping any protocol
jars from lib/ext that you don't need.
For example ApacheJMeter_ldap.jar, ApacheJMeter_jdbc.jar

I doubt you’re going to see much of any in memory savings.. at least nothing worth the trouble..

Hello,
No that's not possible OOTB.
If running distributed jmeter, you will always have to install (unzip) the
bundle on each machine involved, but you can speed up this using some tools
like Ansible, docker ...
If you are loading a public website, then the other option is to use 3rd
party Cloud service that supports JMeter, the offer is very large at very
competitive pricing , and sometimes nearly free, or you can even do it
yourself using:
