Upload a Custom user.properties File

Any part of a JMeter script can be customized by JMeter Properties, starting from look and feel, timestamps, log levels, output file formats and ending with low-level parameters of underlying libraries like HTTP Client timeouts, bind addresses, and so on, used for different protocols connections.

You can upload your own user.properties file to your BlazeMeter test configuration. Make sure there are local file path references to the user.properties file, then BlazeMeter will automatically pick it up when the test executes. For more information about how to attach the file to the test, see Uploading Files.

As an alternative, you can configure JMeter properties directly in the BlazeMeter UI. For more information, see JMeter Properties.
