I am trying to set up JMeter tests in AWS on an EC2 (t2.micro) instance to run them on cmd. Therefore I wanted to use this git project: https://github.com/r4dx/terraform-aws-jmeter.
As I am new to terraform and have just basic knowledge of aws, I went step by step. So for first attempts I let the autoscaling group away and want to reach, that I can run one test against another ec2 instance, where there is the artemis broker and some applications running as a cluster.
The ec2 instance is running and has JMeter 3.3 installed. So far I added the test itself as well as the truststore.jks to /bin and a driver for artemis to the /lib folder (artemis-jms-client-all-2.15.0.jar).
When I execute "jmeter -n -t Artemis_AWS.jmx -j jmeterlogfile" I am getting following error:
WARNING: An illegal reflective access operation has occurred

According to the log file you're running JMeter 2.13, not JMeter 3.3:
version : 2.13.20170723 ------------------------------- ^^^^
And Random Variable element is available since JMeter 2.3.3 so you need to upgrade your JMeter to at least 2.3.3 or higher in order to be able to use this config element.
Ubuntu has JMeter 2.13 in its repositories which is kind of old so you need to download whatever version you need from JMeter Downloads page and install it manually

In general according to JMeter Best Practrices you should always be using the latest version of JMeter so consider upgrading to JMeter 5.3 instead of 3.3 which is kind of old as well.
