I am trying to remove response time and samplers from my Jmeter results in summary report. I know we can do it with help of Filter Result options, but it just removes the label or samplers and it still shows the and adds up its response time. But suppose I have bunch of samplers in a transaction controller and I want to remove or ignore the response time of some of samplers (I can not disable them, I have send them I just don't want to consider their response time) then how should I do it? is there a way?
I don't believe there is an easy way of excluding Transaction Controller's children from the .jtl file.
You can visualize the results using i.e. BM.Sense analysis solution, in Composite Timeline Analysis panel you have the possibility to choose which sampler(s) to display so you can filter out the results you're not interested in
If your goal is to execute the request but not to display it in the results you can add a JSR223 PostProcessor as a child of the request you would like to omit and put the following code into "Script" area:
prev.setIgnore()
This way the sampler(s) in the JSR223 PostProcessor's scope will be excluded from any form of reports:

I am using JMeter 5.5 to put load on some webpages.
I have some webpage navigation flow recorded and I am using The Transaction Controller with the "Generate parent sample" checkbox checked to represent a webpage navigation (load). Underneath the Transaction Controller are the some HTTP Request samplers with "Retrieve All Embedded Resources" checked.
I want to ignore the first and last minute of script execution so I am using a JSR223 Postprocessor with code to conditionally ignore the samples based on the current time in the execution.
This works well if I don't use the Transaction controller, but when I use the prev.setIgnore() function and the sampler being ignored is underneath a Transaction controller with the "Generate parent sample" checkbox checked, then in the "View Results Tree" listener (and also in the JMeter Dashboard) I get an empty parent sample with Load time:0; Connect Time:0; Latency:0. This impacts my metrics in the final generated report.
Is there any way to ignore the Parent sample as well (remove it from the reporting) or can I achieve the goal in a different way?
Thanks in advance.
I think you need to replace prev.setIgnore() with prev.getParent().setIgnore()
In general ignoring samples with Groovy is not something I would recommend to do as it causes extra overhead, I would rather suggest using
either Filter Results Tool
or JMeter Plugins Command Line Tool
or use jmeter.reportgenerator.start_date and end_date properties in case of using HTML Reporting Dashboard
I am new to jMeter so hope you can help me out.
I have a thread group with several HTTP request samplers. I am sending an email every time any sampler fails. The thing is I would like to collect the names + response bodies of the several failed samplers to send in the email.
Can anybody please give an example of how to do it?
The best solution would be using Simple Data Writer listener configured to save only failed requests, there you can choose whatever metrics you need to store:
Another option is using JSR223 test elements and Groovy language to extract the "interesting" fields from the failed requests:
in the above example the sampler gets the label and the body from the previous result and stores them into ${requestName} and ${responseData} JMeter Variables which you can use wherever you want.

I just finished a test case in JMeter and the result is fine; however, I somehow want to see the result reflecting also in the log view.
For some reason, the Sample time (ms) is not reflecting on the log view (Log level: Debug)
Does someone have an idea on how to display that too?
Add listeners to your test plan. Aggregate report and Tree view result, for example.
But use them only for debugging your tests.
I don't think JMeter will report response times in the log file even given you set the most verbose logging level, if you want to have this data in log - I would recommend going for JSR223 Listener instead.
Add JSR223 Listener to your test plan at the same level as all your Samplers live (or according to JMeter Scoping Rules if you want limited samplers to be affected)
Put the following code into "Script" area:
log.info(prev.getSampleLabel(true) + ' response time: ' + prev.getTime())
That's it, now you will be able to see the response times in the jmeter.log file
Obviously, I know that I have response time in .jtl file and in listener called Aggregate report, but I'm looking for way to get reponse time of request to variable.
You can do it as follows:
Add Beanshell PostProcessor as a child of the request
Put the following code into PostProcessor's "Script" area:
vars.put("responseTime", String.valueOf(prev.getTime()));
It will get elapsed time for the sampler (in milliseconds) and store it into ${responseTime} variable. You can add sampler label as prefix or postfix to distinguish response times for different samplers.
prev is a shorthand for parent SampleResult instance.
See How to Use BeanShell: JMeter's Favorite Built-in Component for comprehensive information on Beanshell scripting in JMeter tests.
I have several samplers in a thread group, each retrieving a piece of information. I then need to validate the consistency of the results from two different samplers. In particular I need to assert whether a field in one sampler response equals a field in the JDBC response. What is the best way to do something like that?
I have thought about adding a beanshell postprocessor to each sampler in order to extract the field value from each sample and save it in two variables and then adding a beanshell assertion that accesses those variables, but I wonder if there is a more direct approach.
In the JMeter API documentation I could not see anything to access another sampler response other than the previous one.
I posted the same question on the Jmeter user mailing list and from the feedback I got it seems that indeed it is not possible to access the result of another sampler than the previous one.
The answer is then to save each sampler response in a variable via a postprocessor so that it can be used later.
