<p>
A new Async BackendListener has been added to allow sending result data to a backend listener.
JMeter ships with a GraphiteBackendListenerClient that allows sending results to a
<a href="http://graphite.wikidot.com/" target="_blank">
Graphite
</a>
server using Pickle ot Plaintext protocols.
You can implement your own backend by extending
<a href="./api/org/apache/jmeter/visualizers/backend/AbstractBackendListenerClient.html">
AbstractBackendListenerClient
</a>
. This backend could be
a database (JDBC), a Message Oriented Middleware (JMS), a Webservice or anything you want.

The Once Only controller behaves correctly under a Thread Group or Loop Controller,
but otherwise its behaviour is not consistent (or clearly specified).
</li>
<li>
The numbers that appear to the left of the green box are the number of active threads / total number of threads,
the total number of threads only applies to a locally run test, otherwise it will show 0 (see
<a href="https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=55510">Bug 55510</a>

<li>
Note that there is a
<a href="http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6396599 ">
bug in Java
</a>
on some Linux systems that manifests itself as the following error when running the test cases or JMeter itself:
<pre>
[java] WARNING: Couldn't flush user prefs:
java.util.prefs.BackingStoreException:
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Not supported: indent-number
</pre>
This does not affect JMeter operation. This issue is fixed since Java 7b05.
</li>
<li>
Note that under some windows systems you may have this WARNING:
<pre>
java.util.prefs.WindowsPreferences
WARNING: Could not open/create prefs root node Software\JavaSoft\Prefs at root 0
x80000002. Windows RegCreateKeyEx(...) returned error code 5.
</pre>
The fix is to run JMeter as Administrator, it will create the registry key for you, then you can restart JMeter as a normal user and you won't have the warning anymore.
</li>
<li>
With Java 1.6 and Gnome 3 on Linux systems, the JMeter menu may not work correctly (shift between mouse's click and the menu).
This is a known Java bug (see
<a href="https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=54477">Bug 54477</a>
).
A workaround is to use a Java 7 runtime (OpenJDK or Oracle JDK).
</li>
<li>
With Oracle Java 7 and Mac Book Pro Retina Display, the JMeter GUI may look blurry.
This is a known Java bug, see Bug
<a href="http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=8000629">
JDK-8000629
</a>
.
A workaround is to use a Java 7 update 40 runtime which fixes this issue.
</li>
<li>
You may encounter the following error:
<i>
java.security.cert.CertificateException: Certificates does not conform to algorithm constraints
</i>
if you run a HTTPS request on a web site with a SSL certificate (itself or one of SSL certificates in its chain of trust) with a signature
algorithm using MD2 (like md2WithRSAEncryption) or with a SSL certificate with a size lower than 1024 bits.
This error is related to increased security in Java 7 version u16 (MD2) and version u40 (Certificate size lower than 1024 bits), and Java 8 too.
<br>
To allow you to perform your HTTPS request, you can downgrade the security of your Java installation by editing
the Java
<b>
jdk.certpath.disabledAlgorithms
</b>
property. Remove the MD2 value or the constraint on size, depending on your case.
<br>
This property is in this file:
<pre>
JAVA_HOME/jre/lib/security/java.security
</pre>
See
<a href="https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=56357">Bug 56357</a>
for details.
