There are several methods to configure environment variables in JMeter.

  1. Passing parameters in the command line: You can configure environment variables by using command line parameters when running JMeter tests. Use the -J parameter followed by the environment variable name and value, for example: jmeter -Jvariable_name=variable_value -n -t test.jmx
  2. By using user-defined variables, you can add a User Defined Variables configuration element to a JMeter test plan to configure environment variables by specifying the variable name and value.
  3. By using a CSV data file, you can store environment variables in one file and use CSV data set configuration elements in your test plan to read and set the environment variables.
  4. Utilize BeanShell or JSR223 components: You can write custom scripts using BeanShell or JSR223 components to set environment variables.
  5. Using external property files: you can store environment variables in an external property file and specify this file in JMeter’s startup script. The environment variables defined in the property file will be automatically loaded during JMeter runtime.

All of these methods can be used to configure environment variables in JMeter, choose the method that suits your situation to configure the environment variables.
