jmeter: Run a test plan in nongui mode using a specific proxy.
$ jmeter --nongui --testfile ${filename}.jmx --proxyHost ${127-0-0-1} --proxyPort ${8888}
try on your machine

This command is using JMeter, a load testing tool, to run a test plan in non-GUI mode with a proxy configuration.

Here is the breakdown of each element in the command:

  • jmeter: The executable or command to run JMeter.

  • --nongui: It specifies that JMeter should be run in non-GUI mode, meaning it will run without a graphical user interface.

  • --testfile ${filename}.jmx: It specifies the test plan (.jmx file) that will be executed by JMeter. ${filename} is a placeholder that should be replaced with the actual file name without the .jmx extension.

  • --proxyHost ${127-0-0-1}: It configures the proxy host to 127.0.0.1, which is the loopback address or localhost. ${127-0-0-1} is not a valid variable name, and it should be replaced with the actual IP address or hostname of the proxy server.

  • --proxyPort ${8888}: It configures the proxy port to 8888. ${8888} is not a valid variable name, and it should be replaced with the actual port number that the proxy server is listening on.

In summary, this command runs a JMeter test plan in non-GUI mode using a specific test file and sets up a proxy with the specified host and port for capturing and recording network traffic during the test.
