This class installs the latest stable version of JMeter (currently v2.13) from apache.org. If you use the ::server class, an init-file will be added to /etc/init.d and JMeter will be started in server mode listening on the default port.

Both the jmeter and jmeter::server can optionally install the jmeter-plugins package which adds a lot of useful listeners, thread groups, etc.

The init script is based on the one available at https://gist.github.com/2830209.

Install JMeter:

class { 'jmeter': }

Install JMeter v2.13 including 'Standard' and 'Extras' set of JMeterPlugins v1.2.1

class { 'jmeter':
  jmeter_version            => '2.13',
  jmeter_plugins_install    => true,
  jmeter_plugins_version    => '1.2.1',
  jmeter_plugins_set        => ['Standard', 'Extras']
}

Install JMeter server using the default host-only IP address 0.0.0.0:

class { 'jmeter::server': }

Install JMeter server using a custom host-only IP address:

class { 'jmeter::server':
  server_ip => '33.33.33.42',
}
