Configure an existing NeoLoad controller for JMeter

If you want to run JMeter tests in NeoLoad Web but don't want to create a new controller just for this purpose, you can set up an existing Controller to support JMeter testing:

  1. Download a compatible JMeter version from the Apache website (opens in a new tab).

  2. Download the JMeter Neoload plugin (opens in a new tab) and perform these steps:

    • Copy the plugin into JMETER_HOME/lib/ext.

    • Add these lines to <install-dir>/conf/controller_agent.properties:

      [OSS]
      jmeter.feature.toggled=true
      jmeter.installation.folder=JMETER_HOME

      Note that if you don't set the jmeter.installation.folder property, the default directory in which it looks for the JMeter distribution is NEOLOAD/tools/jmeter.

  3. Open NeoLoad and start your Controller Agent (opens in new tab).

  4. Enter your NeoLoad Web URL into the Connection URL field.

  5. Enter your access token into the Authentification field.

  6. Select OK.

You should now see a JMeter-enabled Controller connected in NeoLoad Web. It's ready for your JMeter tests.
