I want to simulate a DOS attack, or a very high workload on a simple IIS web site. The purpose is testing SCOM responses with IIS.

Any suggestions for a tool and/or script?

Thanks!

Jmeter is great for this. It's not 100% obviously how to use as it's quite flexible, but there are plenty of load-testing tutorials out there for it.

  • having some issues here, I added an environmental variable, installed java, but it's throwing a "Files was unexpected at this time", and closes. Win7, tried in XP comp mode, any ideas? – Malnizzle Feb 04 '11 at 16:05
  • runs fine on an XP systems. This works great FYI, thanks Mark. – Malnizzle Feb 07 '11 at 15:45
  • >throwing a "Files was unexpected at this time" This is due to the space in `C:\Program Files (x86)\Apache Software Foundation\jMeter\bin\ApacheJMeter.jar` in jmeter.bat. Still trying to figure out how to fix it. – Tom Sep 10 '14 at 18:25
