In Jmeter I am trying to send a post rest api request containing json in body and getting unsupported media 415

Question

I am using Jmeter in order to send a request:

POST http://192.168.56.100:9080/agent/v1/target

POST data:
{  
   "eventsServers":"192.168.56.100:9999",
   "targetType":"kafka"
}

I am getting the following error: {"code":415,"message":"HTTP 415 Unsupported Media Type"} when I am running it from another rest api tool I am not getting this error

what could be the problem ?

Just add a HTTP Header Manager to your Test Plan and configure it to send Content-Type header with the value of application/json
