Poem

A bunny taps with gentle might,
JMeter docs now come to light.
JDBC jars in tidy rows,
Test plans hum as traffic flows.
With whiskers twitching, hops in glee—
“Benchmark bravely, bps set free!” 🐇⚡

Pre-merge checks and finishing touches

✅ Passed checks (3 passed)

Check name	Status	Explanation
Title Check	✅ Passed	The PR title accurately summarizes the primary change — adding a JMeter index documentation page with a configure section — and aligns with the modified file docs/integrate/jmeter/index.md, so it conveys the main intent to a teammate scanning history. The phrasing is concise and specific, though the informal word "little" is non-essential.
Docstring Coverage	✅ Passed	No functions found in the changes. Docstring coverage check skipped.
Description Check	✅ Passed	The PR description states the intent to add integration guides, includes a preview URL for the JMeter page, and references the related issue, which aligns with the added docs/integrate/jmeter/index.md changes; it is therefore on-topic for this lenient check.

4-8: Prefer semantic figure over floated divs for a11y/responsiveness.

Use a figure directive and drop the clearfix hack. Also sets a proper alt attribute.

Apply this diff:

-```{div} .float-right .text-right
-[![JMeter logo](https://jmeter.apache.org/images/logo.svg){height=60px loading=lazy}][Apache JMeter]
-```
-```{div} .clearfix
-```
+```{figure} https://jmeter.apache.org/images/logo.svg
+:alt: Apache JMeter logo
+:height: 60
+:align: right
+```

Optional: vendor the logo into the repo to avoid external hotlinking and build flakiness.

12-14: Tighten copy; use active voice.

Shorten and modernize phrasing.

Apply this diff:

-[Apache JMeter] is an open-source application designed to load test functional behavior
-and measure performance. It was originally designed for testing Web Applications but
-has since expanded to other test functions. 
+[Apache JMeter] is an open‑source load‑testing tool for measuring functional behavior and performance.
+It started with web apps and now supports many protocols and back ends.

18-20: Clarify instructions; fix comma splice.

Make the steps explicit so readers can follow without jumping away immediately.

Apply this diff:

-Follow the documentation about building a [JMeter Database Test Plan],
-this basically works out of the box.
+Start with the official guide to building a [JMeter Database Test Plan].
+Then add to your Test Plan:
+
+- Thread Group
+- JDBC Connection Configuration
+- JDBC Request (your SQL)
+
+Most defaults work out of the box.

21-25: JDBC URL/database vs schema; add TLS and least‑privilege guidance.

CrateDB uses the PostgreSQL wire protocol; the “doc” value is a schema, not a database. Prefer setting currentSchema=doc and a concrete database name. Also call out TLS and non‑admin credentials.

Apply this diff:

-Make sure you added the [PostgreSQL JDBC Driver] to your JMeter `./lib`
-folder. Use default settings for your JDBC Connection Configuration
-with Database URL `jdbc:postgresql://your.cratedb.cluster:5432/doc`,
-JDBC Driver class `org.postgresql.Driver` and correct username and
-password.
+Add the [PostgreSQL JDBC Driver] JAR to JMeter’s `./lib` folder.
+Configure JDBC Connection Configuration with:
+
+- JDBC URL: `jdbc:postgresql://YOUR_HOST:5432/crate?currentSchema=doc`
+  - Append `&sslmode=require` if your cluster enforces TLS.
+- Driver class: `org.postgresql.Driver`
+- Username/Password: use a dedicated, least‑privileged user for load tests.
+- Max connections: size ≥ total JMeter threads.

Please verify the recommended database segment (/crate) and TLS parameter for your supported CrateDB versions and cloud defaults.

1-3: Good anchor and title.

Using a MyST anchor (jmeter)= plus H1 is consistent and cross-reference friendly.

28-30: Run Sphinx linkcheck (locally or in CI)

Sphinx wasn't available in the verification environment (output: "Install Sphinx first: pip install -r docs/requirements.txt"). Install Sphinx and run: pip install -r docs/requirements.txt && sphinx-build -b linkcheck docs _build/linkcheck — then verify external links in docs/integrate/jmeter/index.md (lines 28-30).
