Hi there,

You can follow the steps on how to get started with JMeter here:

Then, once you have it up and running, to configure the endpoint correctly for your localhost website in JMeter, you need to make sure that the Server Name or IP field in the HTTP Request sampler is set to “localhost” or “127.0.0.1” and the Path field is set to the URL of your website.

For example, if you have a website running on localhost with the URL http://localhost:8080/myapp, you would set the Server Name or IP field to “localhost” and the Path field to “/myapp”.

Best,

Bobby
