Sending one request continuously after 5 sec

Question

My thread group is having 5 http samples requests which are running single times each. After that I want to send a single http sample request after every 5 seconds which is running after the above 4 samples.

Please suggest

Answer 1

After your first 4 samples, add a Loop Controller and set it its loop count to Forever (or however many you need). Add your 5th Sample to this Loop Controller. Then add a Constant Timer to that Sample with a Thread Delay of 5000 (it's measured in milliseconds).

If you checked Forever above, under your Thread Group you'll want to check the Scheduler and add a duration otherwise it will run, well, forever.

Answer 2

Place 5th http sample request inside loop controller with forevercheckbox enabled so that it would be endless running till the time execution completes. Also place one constant timer as a child of 5th request with 5 secs delay

Structure would be like this
