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:

  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 to the JMETER_HOME/lib/ext directory.

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

      [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 to search 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.
