JMeter remote testing, test results not being displayed

Question

I am currently running a remote test plan through a Linux machine. On the Linux machine, I run ./jmeter-server , and on host I use the GUI to Remote Start > IP Address . The Linux machine indicates start and completion of test plan through command line, but no results are results are displayed on the GUI.

I know the test plan is working for sure because I have checked memory usage in the Linux machine. I'm not sure if this is relevant but when I check jmeter.log in the Linux machine, I'm seeing this error:

FATAL - jmeter.JMeter: An error occurred:  java.awt.HeadlessException: 
No X11 DISPLAY variable was set, but this program performed an operation which requires it.

What is wrong that I can't see the result data?

Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

Add this to jmeter-server java options:

 -Djava.awt.headless=true

what ls the version of java you are using ?

Answer 2

After more troubleshooting, I solved the issue. I had multiple network connections and it seems the response was getting lost in another network which and not reaching the master JMeter GUI which caused no response. See http://ksdntechnicaldiary.blogspot.ca/ for more information.
