Display Apache JMeter logs, in Grafana using the Logs Panel and InfluxDB as data source - jmeter

Objective : To Use Grafana log panel to display Apache JMeter Logs for an execution, using InfluxDB Backend Listener.
apache-jmeter-5.5
influxdb-1.8.10-1
grafana-8.5.0
I am using InfluxDBBackendListenerClient for my JMeter tests and grafana to display the the test metrics data into the dashboard.
I want to use the Grafana Logs Panel, to fetch Apache-Jmeter Execution Data,
I had accomplished this couple of years back and the log panel use to look like the below image:
Unfortunately, I don't have that dashboard and want to integrate the logs to my current dashboard.My Current logs dashboard looks like this below:
Influx Query: I have used the below mentioned influx query, I know something is wrong with the query.
I would really appreciate is anyone can help me resolve this query and aid me to get a dashboard in similar format as the first image,

JMeter's Backend listener doesn't send Apache JMeter logs, here is the list of the metrics which are supported as of JMeter 5.5
15.1.1 Thread/Virtual Users metrics
Thread metrics are the following:
<rootMetricsPrefix>test.minAT
Min active threads
<rootMetricsPrefix>test.maxAT
Max active threads
<rootMetricsPrefix>test.meanAT
Mean active threads
<rootMetricsPrefix>test.startedT
Started threads
<rootMetricsPrefix>test.endedT
Finished threads
15.1.2 Response times metrics
Response related metrics are the following:
<rootMetricsPrefix><samplerName>.ok.count
Number of successful responses for sampler name
<rootMetricsPrefix><samplerName>.h.count
Server hits per seconds, this metric cumulates Sample Result and Sub results (if using Transaction Controller, "Generate parent sampler" should be unchecked)
<rootMetricsPrefix><samplerName>.ok.min
Min response time for successful responses of sampler name
<rootMetricsPrefix><samplerName>.ok.max
Max response time for successful responses of sampler name
<rootMetricsPrefix><samplerName>.ok.avg
Average response time for successful responses of sampler name.
<rootMetricsPrefix><samplerName>.ok.pct<percentileValue>
Percentile computed for successful responses of sampler name. There will be one metric for each calculated value.
<rootMetricsPrefix><samplerName>.ko.count
Number of failed responses for sampler name
<rootMetricsPrefix><samplerName>.ko.min
Min response time for failed responses of sampler name
<rootMetricsPrefix><samplerName>.ko.max
Max response time for failed responses of sampler name
<rootMetricsPrefix><samplerName>.ko.avg
Average response time for failed responses of sampler name.
<rootMetricsPrefix><samplerName>.ko.pct<percentileValue>
Percentile computed for failed responses of sampler name. There will be one metric for each calculated value.
<rootMetricsPrefix><samplerName>.a.count
Number of responses for sampler name (sum of ok.count and ko.count)
<rootMetricsPrefix><samplerName>.sb.bytes
Sent Bytes
<rootMetricsPrefix><samplerName>.rb.bytes
Received Bytes
<rootMetricsPrefix><samplerName>.a.min
Min response time for responses of sampler name (min of ok.count and ko.count)
<rootMetricsPrefix><samplerName>.a.max
Max response time for responses of sampler name (max of ok.count and ko.count)
<rootMetricsPrefix><samplerName>.a.avg
Average response time for responses of sampler name (avg of ok.count and ko.count)
<rootMetricsPrefix><samplerName>.a.pct<percentileValue>
Percentile computed for responses of sampler name. There will be one metric for each calculated value. (calculated on the totals for OK and failed samples)
In order to be able to see JMeter log in Grafana you need to add it somehow to InfluxDB, I can think of the following options:
Periodically read it using JSR223 Test Elements and sending to InfluxDB HTTP endpoint using "normal" JMeter HTTP Request sampler
Come up with your own implementation of the Backend Listener which will be sending log file entries along with other metrics

I want to know the meaning of the value coming from the jmeter backend listener

Jmeter backend listener
I send the result value to influxdb through this backend listener
And I can receive this value.
data

However, I don't know what the meaning of this value is.
Can you help me? thank you!

"jp#gc - Response Times Over Time" Listener in JMeter is not showing max response time which is shown in summary report listeners it shows the average

I want the response time graph to show the maximum response time taken but the graph is not showing the correct response times. As it is showing max Avg time as 8395 ms while I want it to show details of max response time details where max time was 23510 ms.
Response time graph listener actually shows the details of each sampler the average response time in milliseconds. But can I change it to show max response time? Please guide.
Found solution to get the response time graph on basis of Max response time.
There is a graph in JMeter HTML report which gets generated by default when you generate the HTML report. Response time percentiles over time and there i disabled all others except max response time.

JMETER - JMeter Response time exclude response times from Failed transactions

JMeter Response time exclude response times from Failed transactions if successful transaction takes on average 20 secs but failed ones will fail in 2 secs.
Since JMeter is including failed response times along with passed ones, then average response times is low as compared to actual successful samples response time.
Is there any config where I can exclude response times of failure samples so that I get average response time for successful samples only?
If you are using 'Summary Report' listener and wanted to exclude response time of failed transactions, then please check the 'Success' checkbox. Go through the below screenshot for more details.
You can filter Success using property jmeter.reportgenerator.exporter.html.series_filter
Ensure you set property jmeter.reportgenerator.exporter.html.series_filter to keep only the transactions you want in the report if you don't want everything.
Or from GUI:Help > Export transactions for report
Use regex as (.*)(-success)(.*)

Measure response time for an API

I have 416 webservice API's to test . I am loading those url's from a CSV file . my test need to find an API which takes more than 2 sec to respond . I couldn't find a way to measure response time for an API .
I am using
Thread Users - 416
Ramp up Period - 1
Loop Count - 1
I have tried "View Results in Table" listener which shows the sample time . But the sample time does not show individual response time .
Please let me know if you find any solution ?
You shouldn't use listeners as View Results in Table in Load test because it consumes a lot of resources
this visualizer uses a lot of memory.
Use Duration Assertion instead, defined it with 2000 milliseconds in your case
Duration Assertion tests that each response was received within a given amount of time. Any response that takes longer than the given number of milliseconds (specified by the user) is marked as a failed response.
Add listener Summary report which has columns as average, minimum and maximum response time taken by a hit.You can also save this report by clicking on Save Table data button.
Also, add View Results Tree listener in which Sampler Result tab has all the details corresponding to that hit.
On the "Advanced" tab of the HTTP Request sampler (or even better HTTP Request Defaults) there is Timeouts section where you can define maximum value for establishing the connection and/or getting the response.
If JMeter fails to get the response within the time frame (in milliseconds) the relevant sampler will be marked as failed.
In order to see individual response times - add the variable from the CSV file as HTTP Request label (or prefix or postfix) - this way you will see the associated URLs in the listeners and in the HTML Reporting Dashboard :

Understanding metrics being sent by jmeter to graphite

I have started using jmeter 2.13 which has the support of pushing data to graphite. As per the documentation :
..a.count Number of responses for sampler name
..a.min Min response time for responses of sampler name
..a.max Max response time for responses of sampler name
Is the a.count per second? or what?.
In my graphite reports, I see them hovering around a particular value. Surely it is not for the load run till now.
The min/max : What time duration are they for?
Please help.
You can trace the tcp dump (host graphiteHostNameorIPaddress and port 2003) and see that each second backendListener sends the stats to the graphite.
samplerName.a.count is the number of executions for given sampler name during that second, min and max are also for that second.
