Getting error while accessing Jmeter Plugin manager

[Shray Saxena]

Getting below error while accessing Plugin Manager - 

Error's technical details:

java.net.UnknownHostException: This is usually a temporary error during hostname resolution and means that the local server did not receive a response from an authoritative server (web-proxy.sg.hpicorp.net)

Just downloaded the Plugin manager jmeter-plugins-manager-1.6 and paste the jar file at the below path - 

C:\Users\SaxenaSh\Desktop\apache-jmeter-5.3\lib\ext

Please help. Full log attached.

It means that the plugins manager cannot access its backend for displaying the list of plugins.

If you're behind a corporate proxy server you need to make JMeter aware of this proxy server

As per Plugins Manager Network Configuration:

Plugins Manager respects JMeter's proxy settings.

So in order to make the change permanent you can add the next lines to system.properties file (lives in "bin" folder of your JMeter installation)

http.proxyHost=your_proxy_host

http.proxyPort=your_proxy_port

https.proxyHost=your_proxy_host

https.proxyPort=your_proxy_port

if the proxy requires authentication:

http.proxyUser=username

http.proxyPass=password

if the proxy assumes your Windows domain account:

http.proxyDomain=your_domain
