Setup Jmeter to run from EC2 and test external site
Hi,
I just started working with Jmeter.
In the longer run, I would like to setup Jmeter Distributed tests on EC2 to
generate huge load. This is how far I have reached:
1. Created and Launched EC2 instances (3 right now so that I can use 1
master and 2 slaves) with following security settings since 1099 is the
Java RMI Registry port...
Custom TCP RuleTCP10990.0.0.0/02. Installed jmeter: 2.8.20130705 and
java: 1.7.0_80 on all 3 instances
3. Before I begin implementing Master-Slave configuration, I am trying to
run a small test from just 1 EC2 instance to check if it is able to send/
receive data to/ from the web-site (not on AWS).
The test is a simple GET request for the home page.
4. I run following command:
jmeter -n -t ../testplans/HTTP\ Request.jmx
Output:
Created the tree successfully using ../testplans/HTTP Request.jmx
Starting the test @ Tue Nov 17 21:31:46 UTC 2015 (1447795906236)
Waiting for possible shutdown message on port 4445
5. Even from UI there is no result or summary
Could somebody help with the set-up next step?
I think I am missing some basic configuration. Let me know if there are any
questions.
Thank you.
Meena

Thank you so much!
I had success in setting up ssh port forwarding and running a simple test.

If connectivity to site is not an issue as pointed out at Steven. Then you
may use following doc which talks of setting up ssh tunnelling to run
JMeter distributed tests.
https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/tutorials/how-to-configure-ssh-port-forwarding-set-up-load-testing-on-compute-engine/

That's a really old version of JMeter. The latest release is 2.13. I'd
recommend updating to the latest version to ensure you aren't hitting some
obscure bug that's been fixed since 2.8.

Can you log into one of the EC2 instances and hit the site without going
through JMeter (e.g. if it's a Windows VM, try hitting the site in Internet
Explorer from the EC2 instance. If it's Linux, try `curl <your website
url>`)? If that works, then the issue is somewhere within JMeter or the
test plan. If it doesn't work (and especially if you aren't able to ping
the site from the EC2 instance), then the problem is outside of JMeter and
you probably need to talk to your network team about adding some firewall
burns.
