I want to generate Aggregate graph in jmeter dashboard as a custom graph in jmeter dashboard like we have an option in UI mode of jmeter. Basically I want to generate a graph with the average time of all my transactions. I know there is a section in jmeter dashboard about custom graphs and how to add it but I am not able to understand it how to use it in my case

Using JMeter 5.5, I recorded some webpage loads under Transaction controllers with the "Generate parent sample" checkbox being checked and I logically grouped them by action (like NavigateToHomePage, NavaigateToFAQPage etc).
When I run the test and generate the dashboard report, in the Statistics table, I see all samples results statistics grouped per Parent and children which is good, but they are visually displayed at the same level - Parent and children.
I would like to have a better insight to be able to tell which children belong to which parent samples.
Is there any way to visually display the children samples under the Parent samples in the statistics table of the JMeter dashboard report?
Example:
Parent sample NavigateToHomePage (Aggregated statistics at parent sample level):
Child sample a1 statistics
Child sample a2 statistics
Child sample a3 statistics
Parent sample NavaigateToFAQPage (Aggregated statistics at parent sample level):
Child sample b1 statistics
Child sample b2 statistics
Child sample b3 statistics
Thanks in advance!
It's not possible, at least not with JMeter 5.5 and not out of the box.
You might want to inspect report-template folder (lives in "bin" folder of your JMeter installation) and implement the changes you need there (you will need to get familiarized with Apache FreeMarker)
In general I don't think you're doing the right stuff, from my very limited understanding of how JMeter works you're supposed to:
Apply Naming Policy so your sub-samplers would look like:
Transaction_Controller_Label-0
Transaction_Controller_Label-1
etc.
Export the transaction name(s) for the HTML Reporting Dashboard by generating appropriate value for the jmeter.reportgenerator.exporter.html.series_filter property
This way you will have only one "parent" transaction in the HTML report and proper calculation of throughput.
If having tree-like output for the top-level transactions and individual sub results is a must for you the fastest and the easiest way is using Backend Listener and coming up with a Grafana dashboard displaying what you need how you need, it would be way faster and easier than amending FreeMarker templates
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.
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)
I am new to JMeter and need your help with a problem.
I have 4 test scenarios and I need to run it with 30 users load with distribution as 30,10,30,30 percent. Out of 4 scenarios, 1 scenario create a customer ID and that ID is being used in the rest of the scenarios.TO test this, I have created a test data of customer ID's with my 1 scenarios and saved in a CSV file. Now my question is when I will run my test how would I handle the customer iD's generated at the run time and how to manage it with my test data which I have already created. Please help me.
With regards to reusing the data, generated in the runtime - you can extract the required data, i.e. customer ID using suitable JMeter Post-Processor and store it into a JMeter Variable. Once done the variable can be re-used in other scenarios. The process is known as correlation and there is a lot of information on implementation with examples over the web.
With regards to the distribution there are different approaches as well:
Throughput Controller
Switch Controller
Weighted Switch Controller
With regards to "manage test data you created" - you can read the values from a CSV file using CSV Data Set Config or __CSVRead() function
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.
