What is the default response timeout in JMeter?

Question

Can anyone help to know about default response time in JMeter if we do not set any timeout in 'HTTP request' sampler?

Thanks.

Answer 1

It defaults to 0 (no timeout)

The recommended way of setting the timeout is using GUI.

If for some reason it doesn't play for you you can use the following properties:

• user.properties file:

  • httpclient.timeout

• httpclient.parameters file:

  • http.socket.timeout$Integer

Both files live under JMeter's "bin" folder, JMeter restart is required to pick the properties up after the change.
