How to add timer between loop controllers being called in a single thread in JMeter

Question

I added a jmx script in JMeter5.0 with two loop controllers called within a thread. two loop controllers are:

1. User login
2. User Logout

I want all my users from CSV to login at once and then logout at once, which is working fine, but before next login, I want some delay (after logout controller).

Putting constant timer will make the delay in all requests instead of loop controllers.

Answer 1

Notice that JMeter's [scoping rules] execute Timers before Samplers

2.Timers

3.Sampler

So either put Timer as a child of first sampler in Login Controller, (it'll add delay also in first login)

Or add a Flow Control Action at the end of the Logout controller with Timer as its child

it allows pauses to be included without needing to generate a sample. For variable delays, set the pause time to zero, and add a Timer as a child.
