Is there sum of all response times in JMeter? - jmeter

Is there sum of all response times in JMeter HTML report?
I know JMeter produces excellent data like median etc, but there is need to have sum of all response times.
Is it possible to see it somehow?

JMeter's .jtl result files are normal CSV files so you can import it into MS Excel or equivalent and invoke SUM function on the elapsed column
If you have only one iteration and several requests - you can put all the requests under the Transaction Controller and it will report the cumulative execution time of all its children
It's possible to use Backend Listener so JMeter would send results to a database, once done you should be able to create a query in the DB or in Grafana to display the cumulative response time

I used option 2 from Dmitri's answer recently and it worked perfectly for me in JMeter 5.4.1.
In the Transaction Controller remember to click the "generate parent sample" tick box.
Then in the results tree and HTML dashboard, you will see individual response times for each call and a parent time for the controller.

Is there a way to get only required transactions in Jmeter Summary report

I am new to jmeter and I have couple of questions. Can someone help me out
I am using master-slave architecture ( master and 4 slaves) for 4000 user load, In which machine will I get the consolidated results for the complete load.
I have configured the summary report for results, but how can we get the report only for required transactions and not all from end to end].
It's not exactly what you are looking for, but one option is to generate the HTML report that will be configured to include the transactions of interest. This is done by updating the user.properties file for the following properties:
# This property is used by menu item "Export transactions for report"
# It is used to select which transactions by default will be exported
#jmeter.reportgenerator.exported_transactions_pattern=[a-zA-Z0-9_\\-{}\\$\\.]*[-_][0-9]*
You can use the Transaction ControllerTransaction Controller to get consolidated time taken by the nested elements. Add a Transaction Controller as a parent element and set the flag Generate Parent Sample to get the overall time without the details of the nested elements.
By default JMeter stores all Samplers execution metrics into the .jtl results file
If you're not interested in some of the results you can remove them using Filter Results Tool (doesn't come with JMeter, needs to be installed using JMeter Plugins Manager)

Response over time graph becomes very congested for larger number of URLs

I am using this https://jmeter-plugins.org/wiki/ResponseTimesOverTime/ plugin.
I already have a .jtl file, I need to browse this .jtl file into the graph plugin and it would display results.
The .jtl file consists of approx ~ 1500 unique URLs and so graph looks so congested that nothing is visible.
Is there an alternative Response over Time graph? or
I can use the same plugin correctly?
I am not aware of any existing plugin which can smoothly display 1500 lines with legend on a single chart. Theoretically you can try out HTML Reporting Dashboard which provides:
Zoomable chart where you can check/uncheck every transaction to show/hide it for:
Response times Over Time (Includes Transaction Controller Sample Results)
But I strongly doubt it will be a good solution for such a number of unique sample results.
So I would recommend decreasing the number of URLs in your report, you can group them using Transaction Controller and name the controller accordingly so you could distinguish the URL groups
Another option is plotting only those URLs which response time(s) is relatively high, you can get the numbers from Aggregate Listeners which display statistics only.
Once you have a list of URLs which you want to plot you can use Filter Results Tool to create a smaller .jtl file with only "interesting" data.

JMeter - Aggregate Report with Success response times

I found Jmeter captures the Response times of a request that had failed in its aggregate report
If i check Successes Check box, i get only success Response times, Samples, Throughput and KB/sec.
And if dint check anything i could see both Successes and failures in all columns
Is there a way in JMeter to get aggregate report with success response times alone but other columns should get total counts (that include both Successes and failure counts) in #Sample, Total errors, Throughput and KB/Sec as it is
Required Aggregate Report
At present, i collect data through two simple data writers with checking success check box in one (A) and both in another(B). and load it in two aggregate report listeners and manually copy response times section from replace in csv from B so that i get samples, Errors, Throughput & KB/Sec containing both success and failures requests and response times alone from only successes
Simple data writer config
SimpleDataWriterConfiguration
Please let know any other way to acheive this
You have 2 options:
Simple option - add 2 Aggregate Reports:
Successes only
Both successes and failures
Take count from second report, and everything else from the first.
However, saving CSV with raw data is more efficient than having 2 Aggregate Reports, and you already have it (almost) so
Option 2 - save all data into single CSV, and use some tool (linux command line tools, Excel, etc) to sort/parse draw conclusions. You don't need 2 files in this case, since you can always calculate separate totals for success and failure, as well as calculate total of the both from the same file: successes can be filtered by, for example, OK in their responseMessage field.

In the Summary Report CSV outfile not getting the Avg,Min,Max,Std.Deviation Responsetimes

When I looked at the Summary report csv output file, I don't see Min, Max,Avg,Std.Deviation response times there.
Is there any way to get Min, Max,Avg,Std.Deviation response times into the csv output file?
Please advise me!
Thanks,
Raj
These are statistical values so they are being calculated. You have 3 options to get them:
Using Excel (or equivalent) functions get the values out of sampler data (you are interested in elapsed column using the following functions:
MIN
MAX
AVERAGE
STDEVP
You can use the result file to build the HTML Reporting Dashboard which has Statistics table as well as several charts
Use a 3rd-party analysis solution like BM.Sense with enhanced configurable version of Aggregate Report and interactive charts.
But that is not supposed to be written, that is supposed to be calculated basing on sampler results that are actually get written there in this file.
And the calculations are elementary, you may do it yourself, or load that file back into JMeter at any time and get them.

Why all columns in Aggregate Report shows identical same values?

Configured a Test Plan where I have checked the option 'Generate parent sample' in Transaction Controller, in order to get the stats of individual transactions. And ran the test on Non-GUI mode, but I get identical same values in all columns of Aggregate Report, such as; Average, Median, 90% Line, Min, Max, etc.
Is it because of the configuration I did in Transaction Controller or any other settings need to be configured in the jmeter.properties file?
Thanks
It is absolutely expected assuming that your Transaction Controller ran once hence only one result is recorded. You will see the same output for any other singe sampler.
If you add more iterations on Thread Group level or via Loop Controller you should see differences.
