JMeter Script- Connection timed out

Question

I am receiving the below error when trying to run a JMeter script . The API works fine in Loadrunner . I had set the https.default.protocol=TLSv1.2 in user.properties for the SSL version. What could cause the below error .

org.apache.http.conn.HttpHostConnectException: Connect to rXXXXX.XXXX-XXXX.XXXXXX.net:443 [XXXXXX.XXXXXX-XXXXXX.XXXXXX.XXXXXX/21.60.245.182] failed: Connection timed out: connect at org.apache.http.impl.conn.DefaultHttpClientConnectionOperator.connect(DefaultHttpClientConnectionOperator.java:156) at org.apache.jmeter.protocol.http.sampler.HTTPHC4Impl$JMeterDefaultHttpClientConnectionOperator.connect(HTTPHC4Impl.java:326) at org.apache.http.impl.conn.PoolingHttpClientConnectionManager.connect(PoolingHttpClientConnectionManager.java:374) at org.apache.http.impl.execchain.MainClientExec.establishRoute(MainClientExec.java:393) at org.apache.http.impl.execchain.MainClientExec.execute(MainClientExec.java:236) at org.apache.http.impl.execchain.ProtocolExec.execute(ProtocolExec.java:186) at org.apache.http.impl.execchain.RetryExec.execute(RetryExec.java:89) at org.apache.http.impl.execchain.RedirectExec.execute(RedirectExec.java:110) at org.apache.http.impl.client.InternalHttpClient.doExecute(InternalHttpClient.java:185) at org.apache.http.impl.client.CloseableHttpClient.execute(CloseableHttpClient.java:83) at org.apache.jmeter.protocol.http.sampler.HTTPHC4Impl.executeRequest(HTTPHC4Impl.java:850) at org.apache.jmeter.protocol.http.sampler.HTTPHC4Impl.sample(HTTPHC4Impl.java:561) at org.apache.jmeter.protocol.http.sampler.HTTPSamplerProxy.sample(HTTPSamplerProxy.java:67) at org.apache.jmeter.protocol.http.sampler.HTTPSamplerBase.sample(HTTPSamplerBase.java:1282) at org.apache.jmeter.threads.JMeterThread.run(JMeterThread.java:257) at java.lang.Thread.run(Unknown Source) Caused by: java.net.ConnectException: Connection timed out: connect

Answer 1

Given you send the same request you should get the same response no matter what tool is being used for sending the request.

If you're getting different responses or not getting a response either you're sending not the same request or there is a difference in the tools configuration.

1. The most possible reason could be proxy, by default Loadrunner respects underlying operating system proxy settings and in JMeter you need to configure the upstream proxy connection manually, see Using JMeter behind a proxy article for more details

2. Another reason could be incorrect request configuration, i.e. protocol/host/port/path mismatch

3. And last but not the least, maybe your connect/response timeouts are too low, try ramping them up, the relevant setting lives under "Advanced" tab of the HTTP Request sampler (or even better go for HTTP Request Defaults)
