Distribute Cookies in JMeter

In this blog post, we will see how to distribute cookies across the threads. By writing simple code, it is possible to distribute the cookies across the thread group. For that, you need to add BeanShell pre-processors, by right clicking on the Thread Group > Add > Pre Processors > BeanShell PreProcessor.

Paste the below code into your BeanShell pre-processor as shown below.

JMeter Cookie BeanShell Preprocessor
JMeter Cookie BeanShell Preprocessor
import org.apache.jmeter.protocol.http.control .CookieManager;

import org.apache.jmeter.protocol.http.control.Cookie;

    Cookie cookie = new

Cookie("JSESSIONID",vars.get("jsessionid"),"localhost","/", false,-1);

    CookieManager manager = sampler.getCookieManager();

    manager.add(cookie);
