3. now when i am trying to run sh jmeter-server, its giving error

can anyone help how can i solve it so it can connect with remote machines. or i am missing something which i should do it.

Answer 1

Amend your command to explicitly set java.rmi.server.hostname property

sh jmeter-server -Djava.rmi.server.hostname=IP address or DNS hostname of your slave machine

and make sure that it's not localhost or 127.0.0.1 or ::1

In order to make the change permanent you can add the above line to JMeter system.properties file (lives in "bin" folder of your JMeter installation)

java.rmi.server.hostname=IP address or DNS hostname of your slave machine

Alternatively you can add the next line to your hosts file:

Nehas-Macbook-Pro.local    IP address or DNS hostname of your slave machine
