JMeter – Simple Config Element
The ‘Simple Configuration Element’ in JMeter is used to add or replace arbitrary values in samples. You can modify both the name of the value and the value itself. Although this element is rarely used by the tester, some developers may find a purpose for it as a simple GUI that they can use when creating new JMeter components.
How to add a ‘Simple Config Element’?
- Select the ‘Test Plan’ node
- Right-click on the ‘Test Plan’ node
- Hover the mouse on ‘Add’

- Click ‘Simple Config Element’
What are the input fields?
1. Name: To provide element name
2. Comments: To provide arbitrary comments (if any)
3. Parameter Name: The name of each parameter. These values are internal to JMeter’s workings and are not generally documented. Only those (developers) familiar with the code will know these values.
4. Parameter Value: The value which needs to be added or overridden for the particular parameter.
5. Add: To add a new parameter row
