--- title: "User's Manual: Properties Reference" description: "Complete jmeter.properties and user.properties reference: results saving, HTTP, SSL, remote testing, report generator, and runtime configuration." url: https://docs.jmeter.ai/user-manual/properties-reference/ lastUpdated: 2026-10-01 source: docs.jmeter.ai --- # User's Manual: Properties Reference ## 19 Introduction > **Security-sensitive setting** > Properties can affect SSL, remote execution, scripting, file access, and report contents. Review changes before committing shared `user.properties` or CI overrides. > **Version-specific behavior** > Property names and defaults can change across JMeter releases. Check the installed `jmeter.properties` file when upgrading. This document describes JMeter properties. The properties present in `jmeter.properties` or `reportgenerator.properties` should be set in the `user.properties` file. These properties are only taken into account after restarting JMeter as they are usually resolved when the class is loaded. ## 19.1 Language | Name | Required | Description | | --- | --- | --- | | language | No | Preferred GUI language. Comment out to use the JVM default locale’s language. Example: `language=en` :::note This property is the only one that must be set in `jmeter.properties` file ::: :::note To fully configure language ensure you set locale, see [Internationalization: Understanding Locale in the Java Platform](http://www.oracle.com/us/technologies/java/locale-140624.html). Example for English: `-Duser.language=en -Duser.region=EN` ::: | | locales.add | No | Additional locale(s) to add to the displayed list. The current default list is: `en`, `fr`, `de`, `no`, `es`, `tr`, `ja`, `zh_CN`, `zh_TW`, `pl`, `pt_BR`. See `JMeterMenuBar#makeLanguageMenu()` The entries are a comma-separated list of language names. Example: `locales.add=zu` | ## 19.2 XML Parser | Name | Required | Description | | --- | --- | --- | | xpath.namespace.config | No | Path to a Properties file containing Namespace mapping in the form `prefix=Namespace`. Example: `ns=http://biz.aol.com/schema/2006-12-18` | | xpath2query.parser.cache.size | No | XPath2 query cache for storing compiled XPath queries Defaults to `400` | ## 19.3 SSL configuration > **Note** > SSL (Java) System properties are now in `system.properties` > > JMeter no longer converts `javax._xxx_` property entries in > `jmeter.properties` into System properties. These must now be > defined in the `system.properties` file or on the command-line. The > `system.properties` file gives more flexibility. | Name | Required | Description | | --- | --- | --- | | https.sessioncontext.shared | No | By default, SSL session contexts are now created per-thread, rather than being shared. The old behaviour can be enabled by setting this property to `true`. Defaults to: `false` | | https.default.protocol | No | Be aware that https default protocol may vary depending on the version of JVM. See [Diagnosing TLS, SSL and HTTPS](https://blogs.oracle.com/java-platform-group/entry/diagnosing_tls_ssl_and_https) and [Bug 58236](https://bz.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=58236). Default HTTPS protocol level: `https.default.protocol=TLS` This may need to be changed to: `https.default.protocol=SSLv3` | | https.socket.protocols | No | List of protocols to enable. You may have to select only a subset if you find issues with target server. This is needed when server does not support Socket version negotiation, this can lead to errors like: `javax.net.ssl.SSLPeerUnverifiedException: peer not authenticated` or `java.net.SocketException: Connection reset`. See [Bug 54759](https://bz.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=54759), example: `https.socket.protocols=SSLv2Hello SSLv3 TLSv1` | | https.cipherSuites | No | Comma-separated list of SSL cipher suites that may be used in HTTPS connections. It may be desirable to use a subset of cipher suites in order to match expected client behavior or to reduce encryption overhead in JMeter when running with large numbers of users. Errors may occur if the JVM does not support the specified cipher suites, or if the cipher suites supported by the HTTPS server do not overlap this list. See the [JSSE Reference Guide.](https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/technotes/guides/security/jsse/JSSERefGuide.html#Customization) For example: `https.cipherSuites=TLS_ECDHE_ECDSA_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA384,TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_128_GCM_SHA256` If not specified, JMeter will use the default list of cipher suites supported by the JVM. | | httpclient.reset_state_on_thread_group_iteration | No | Reset HTTP State when starting a new Thread Group iteration. In summary`true` means next iteration is associated to a new user. `false` means next iteration is associated to same user. `true` involves: - Closing opened connection - resetting SSL State Defaults to: `true` | | https.use.cached.ssl.context | No | Control if we allow reuse of cached SSL context between iterations. Set the value to `false` to reset the SSL context each iteration. Defaults to: `true` :::note DEPRECATED, you should use `httpclient.reset_state_on_thread_group_iteration` with correct value ::: | | https.keyStoreStartIndex | No | Start index to be used with keystores with many entries. The default is to use entry `0`, i.e. the first. Defaults to: `0` | | https.keyStoreEndIndex | No | End index to be used with keystores with many entries. Defaults to: `0` | ## 19.4 Look and Feel configuration | Name | Required | Description | | --- | --- | --- | | jmeter.laf.windows_10 | No | Classname of the Swing default UI The LAF classnames that are available are now displayed as ToolTip text when hovering over the Options/Look and Feel selection list. You can either use a full class name, as shown below, or one of the strings “`System`” or “`CrossPlatform`” which means JMeter will use the corresponding string returned by `UIManager.get<name>LookAndFeelClassName()`. LAF can be overridden by `os.name` (lowercased, spaces replaced by ’_’). #### Order of LAF property lookup Take for example an `os.name` of `Windows 10`. JMeter would look first for a property `jmeter.laf.windows_10=javax.swing.plaf.metal.MetalLookAndFeel` Failing that, the OS family `os.name` would be used shortened to the first space. In our example JMeter would therefore look for a property `jmeter.laf.windows=com.sun.java.swing.plaf.windows.WindowsLookAndFeel` :::note Mac apparently looks better with the System LAF set through `jmeter.laf.mac=System` Failing that, the JMeter default LAF can be defined through: `jmeter.laf=System` If none of the above `jmeter.laf` properties are defined, JMeter uses the `CrossPlatform` LAF. This is because the `CrossPlatform` LAF generally looks better than the `System` LAF. See [Bug 52026](https://bz.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=52026) for details. ::: :::note When you change Look and Feel (LAF) from JMeter GUI through menu Options > Look and Feel, you should restart JMeter to ensure change is fully effective. ::: | | jmeter.loggerpanel.display | No | Display LoggerPanel. Defaults to: `false` | | jmeter.loggerpanel.enable_when_closed | No | Enable LogViewer Panel to receive log event even when closed. Enabled since 2.12 :::note Note this has some impact on performances, but as GUI mode must not be used for Load Test it is acceptable ::: Defaults to: `true` | | jmeter.loggerpanel.maxlength | No | Max lines kept in LoggerPanel, `0` means no limit. Defaults to: `1000` | | jmeter.gui.refresh_period | No | Interval period in `ms` to process the events of the listeners. Defaults to: `500` | ## 19.4.1 Darklaf configuration | Name | Required | Description | | --- | --- | --- | | darklaf.decorations | No | Enables custom window chrome when using a Darklaf Look And Feel. Defaults to: `false` | | darklaf.unifiedMenuBar | No | Enables the unified menubar on Windows when using a Darklaf Look and Feel. This property only has an effect if `darklaf.native` is `true`.

Alternate set: `jmeter.icons=org/apache/jmeter/images/icon_1.properties` Historical icon set (deprecated): `jmeter.icons=org/apache/jmeter/images/icon_old.properties` Defaults to:`org/apache/jmeter/images/icon.properties` | | jmeter.tree.icons.size | No | Available sizes are: `19x19`, `24x24`, `32x32`, `48x48`. Useful for HiDPI display (see below). Defaults to: `19x19` Suggested value for HiDPI screen like 3200x1800 is: `32x32` | | jmeter.hidpi.mode | No | HiDPI mode. Activate a ‘*pseudo*’-HiDPI mode. Allows to increase size of some UI elements which are not correctly managed by JVM with high resolution screens in Linux or Windows.

Set it to a number greater than zero (`25` can be a good default). The bigger it is, the more memory will be consumed. Defaults to: `0` | | gui.quick_X | No | Hotkeys to add JMeter components where `_X_` is the shortcut key, for example: `gui.quick_0=ThreadGroupGui gui.quick_1=HttpTestSampleGui gui.quick_2=RegexExtractorGui gui.quick_3=AssertionGui gui.quick_4=ConstantTimerGui gui.quick_5=TestActionGui gui.quick_6=JSR223PostProcessor gui.quick_7=JSR223PreProcessor gui.quick_8=DebugSampler gui.quick_9=ViewResultsFullVisualizer` Above code will add the corresponding elements when you press `Ctrl + 0` … `Ctrl + 9` (`&command; + 0` … `&command; + 9` on Mac) | ## 19.6 JMX Backup configuration | Name | Required | Description | | --- | --- | --- | | jmeter.gui.action.save.backup_on_save | No | Enable auto backups of the `.jmx` file when a test plan is saved. When enabled, before the `.jmx` is saved, it will be backed up to the directory pointed to by the `jmeter.gui.action.save.backup_directory` property (see below). Backup file names are built after the jmx file being saved. For example, saving `test-plan.jmx` will create a `test-plan-000012.jmx` in the backup directory provided that the last created backup file is `test-plan-000011.jmx`. Default value is `true` indicating that auto backups are enabled. Defaults to: `true` | | jmeter.gui.action.save.backup_directory | No | Set the backup directory path where JMX backups will be created upon save in the GUI. If not set (what it defaults to) then backup files will be created in a sub-directory of the JMeter base installation. If set and the directory does not exist, a corresponding directory will be created. Defaults to: `\${JMETER_HOME}/backups` | | jmeter.gui.action.save.keep_backup_max_hours | No | Set the maximum time (in hours) that backup files should be preserved since the save time. By default no expiration time is set which means we keep backups for ever. Defaults to: `0` | | jmeter.gui.action.save.keep_backup_max_count | No | Set the maximum number of backup files that should be preserved. By default ten backups will be preserved. Setting this to zero will cause the backups to not being deleted (unless `keep_backup_max_hours` is set to a non zero value). Defaults to: `10` | | save_automatically_before_run | No | Enable auto saving of the .jmx file before start run a test plan When enabled, before the run, the .jmx will be saved and also backed up to the directory pointed. Defaults to: `true` | ## 19.7 Remote hosts and RMI configuration | Name | Required | Description | | --- | --- | --- | | remote_hosts | No | Remote Hosts - comma delimited, for example `remote_hosts=localhost:1099,localhost:2010` Defaults to: `127.0.0.1` | | server_port | No | RMI port to be used by the server (must start `rmiregistry` with same port). To change the port to (say) `1234`: On the server(s): 1. `set server_port=1234` 2. start `rmiregistry` with port `1234` On Windows this can be done by: `SET SERVER_PORT=1234 JMETER-SERVER` On Unix: `SERVER_PORT=1234 jmeter-server` On the Windows client: `set remote_hosts=_server_:1234` On the Unix client: `export remote_hosts=_server_:1234` Defaults to: `1099` | | client.rmi.localport | No | Parameter that controls the RMI ports used by `RemoteSampleListenerImpl` and `RemoteThreadsListenerImpl` (The Controller) Default value is `0`, which means ports are randomly assigned. If this is non-zero, it will be used as the base for local port numbers for the client engine. At the moment JMeter will open up to three ports beginning with the port defined in this property. :::note You may need to open corresponding ports in the firewall on the Controller machine. ::: Defaults to: `0` | | client.tries | No | When distributed test is starting, there may be several attempts to initialize remote engines. By default, only a single try is made. Increase this property to make it retry additional times.

Defaults to: `5000` | | client.continue_on_fail | No | When all initialization tries were made, the test will fail, if any remote engines are failed. Set this property to `true` to ignore failed nodes and proceed with test. Defaults to: `false` | | server.rmi.port | No | To change the default port (`1099`) used to access the server. Defaults to: `1099` | | server.rmi.localport | No | To use a specific port for the JMeter server engine, define this property before starting the server. Defaults to: `4000` | | server.rmi.create | No | From JMeter version 2.3.1, the JMeter server creates the RMI registry as part of the server process. Set this property to `false`, to stop the server creating the RMI registry.

This property is currently a temporary solution for [Bug 56162](https://bz.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=56162). ::: Since version 2.12, JMeter does not create anymore a Sample Result with a response code of `204` for a resource found in cache. This is in line with what browser do. You can choose between three modes: **`RETURN_NO_SAMPLE` (default)** : this mode returns no Sample Result. It has no additional configuration. **`RETURN_200_CACHE`** : this mode will return Sample Result with response code to `200` and response message to “`(ex cache)`”. **`RETURN_CUSTOM_STATUS`** : choosing this mode, response code and message have to be set by specifying `RETURN_CUSTOM_STATUS.code` and `RETURN_CUSTOM_STATUS.message`.

Optional XML processing instruction for line two of the file. Defaults to empty value | | jmeter.save.saveservice.base_prefix | No | Prefix used to identify filenames that are relative to the current base. Defaults to: `~/` | | jmeter.save.saveservice.autoflush | No | AutoFlush on each line written in XML or CSV output. Setting this to `true` will result in less test results data loss in case of a crash, but with impact on performances, particularly for intensive tests (low or no pauses).
