I am generating JMeter HTML report through command prompt. I want to save the report with Timestamp, so that in future i can compare these reports. Without clearing the report folder if i am trying to execute i am getting below error message,
WARNING: Could not open/create prefs root node Software\JavaSoft\Prefs at root 0x80000002. Windows RegCreateKeyEx(...) returned error code 5.
An error occurred: Cannot write to 'D:\AgileCockpit_IntegrationTest\HtmlReports' as folder is not empty
errorlevel=1
I am using below command to execute,
jmeter -n -t D:\AgileCockpit_IntegrationTest\AgileCockpitIntegrationTest.jmx -l D:\AgileCockpit_IntegrationTest\Result\Result1.csv -e -o D:\AgileCockpit_IntegrationTest\HtmlReports\
Same with CSV file.
Please help me on this...Thanks in advance.
You can add a timestamp to .jtl results file and HTML reporting dashboard folder using Windows date and time commands combination like:
jmeter -n -t D:\AgileCockpit_IntegrationTest\AgileCockpitIntegrationTest.jmx -l "D:\AgileCockpit_IntegrationTest\Result\%date:~-4%-%date:~3,2%-%date:~0,2%-%time:~0,2%-%time:~3,2%-%time:~6,2%.jtl" -e -o "D:\AgileCockpit_IntegrationTest\HtmlReports\%date:~-4%-%date:~3,2%-%date:~0,2%-%time:~0,2%-%time:~3,2%-%time:~6,2%"
Different results files can be compared using Merge Results tool, the tool can be installed using JMeter Plugins Manager

Context: I am running JMeter load test on a distributed load system with 1:2 master slave ratio, with the following command:
jmeter -n -t "home/jmeterscripts/EventGridScript.jmx" -R slave1:1099,slave2:1099 -l "home/jmeterscripts/Result.csv" -e -o "home/jmeterscripts/HTMLReports"
Will the result report to the same report.html because I am getting error of Result.csv presence from slave2 while reporting? how to handle it this, didn't find similar post.
You're getting this message because home/jmeterscripts/Result.csv is present already, if you don't need the results file from the previous run add -f command-line argument to your command line:
jmeter -n -t -"home/jmeterscripts/EventGridScript.jmx" -R slave1:1099,slave2:1099 -f -l "home/jmeterscripts/Result.csv" -e -o "home/jmeterscripts/HTMLReports"
-f, --forceDeleteResultFile
force delete existing results files and web report folder if present before starting the test
The results are not being stored on slaves, the slaves send test metrics to the master so the master collects the statistics from all the slaves so no matter how many slaves you have you always get a single .jtl results file and a single HTML Reporting Dashboard.

When I am running a simple standalone JMeter script using command line as below
jmeter -n -t your_script.jmx
This generates a CSV file which contains all the data related to the execution.
However, when the same JMeter file executed for a distributed load testing with multiple JMeter Server IP addresses which will simulate the given number of users and runs on the target server, I am not able to get the jmeter.csvfile Generated(But the command runs successfully).
The command I have used for distributed execution is
jmeter -n -t script.jmx -R IP_address1, IP_address2,...
Now, I should get a consolidated jmeter.csv file from this execution. But, I am not getting one.
Same is the case with JMeter API DistributedRunner Class- We are not getting the consolidated jmeter.csv file and reports.
This command:
jmeter -n -t your_script.jmx
does not generate any CSV file, you need to add -l command-line argument and provide desired results file location like:
jmeter -n -t your_script.jmx -l jmeter.csv
The same applies for distributed testing:
jmeter -n -t script.jmx -R IP_address1, IP_address2 -l jmeter.csv
If you provide -l command-line argument but still not getting any results most probably your script execution fails on remote slaves somewhere somehow. Follow the below checklist in order to get to the bottom of the script failure:
Inspect jmeter.log file on master machine and jmeter-server.log on the remote slaves, if something goes wrong - most probably you will find the cause in log files
Make sure that JRE version is the same on master and the slaves
Make sure that JMeter version is the same on master and the slaves, it's recommended to use the latest JMeter version where possible
If the test relies on any of the JMeter Plugins - make to install them all onto all slave machines. The plugins can be installed using JMeter Plugins Manager
If your test is using CSV Data Set Config - you will need to copy the CSV file to all slaves manually
If your test needs any additional JMeter Properties you will need to supply the properties via -J or -D command-line arguments on all the machines or via -G command-line arugment on the master
I am using Jmeter(5.1.1) in Non-GUI mode and unable to execute it. It still runs fine in GUI mode but fails in Non-GUI with "Error: Malformed option -". I removed the listeners from the JMX file but it still has some HTTP Request which are disabled will that be the problem here.?
I am currently using this command in my Windows 7 machine with Java 8.
Commands:
jmeter -n -t (location: C:\Users\File.jmx) -l (location: C:\Users\Results.csv)
Its not showing results neither updating the results.csv file, after each run its just showing "
Error: Malformed option -
" in command window. Can someone tell me what i am missing or what should i follow.?
Please use it like the below:-
jmeter -n -t D:\TestScripts\script.jmx -l D:\TestScripts\scriptresults.jtl
Hope this helps.
First you have to go to Jmeter/bin path where your Jmeter jar is located.
(For Example, C:\apache-jmeter-5.0\bin)
Now after going to that path using cmd, use below command given that your abc.jmx file is at the above mentioned location only and once execution starts it will automatically create def.jtl at that location, hope this have given you clarity:
jmeter -n -t abc.jmx -l def.jtl
Ok, so here what i was doing wrong. Dont know if this is stupid but might help others.
Since we use JMeter at work locations, my drive was linked with the cloud folder where none of the commands get execute i believe, so when i copy the installed JMeter folder and my JMX file to a Local location, say
before:
> C:\UsersABC\OneDrive-UserABC\JMETER\apache-jmeter-5.1.1\bin
Now:
> C:\JMET\apache-jmeter-5.1.1\bin
That OneDrive causing all the trouble. But thanks to all of you guys, you helped me figured this out. Thanks alot again :)
I got the same issue while trying with "jmeter -n -t D:\load test 01\test.jmx -l D:\TestScripts\scriptresults.jtl" command.
Then I changed it to "jmeter -n -t D:\load_test_01\test.jmx -l D:\TestScripts\scriptresults.jtl" and it worked fine, in my case the issue was whitespaces in the folder name.
I'm currently running jmeter in NON-gui mode and I want to generate a report after each run.
The problem I have is that the results are being added in the jmeter dashboard after each run and are not cleared. How can I generate the report only with the last run?
If you have the jtl file saved for the last test run then it's quite easy to generate dashboard result specifically for that test from the jtl file.
Execute the below command
./jmeter -g <jtl file> -o <output folder>
jmeter -n -t (path to your jmx files is) -l (path and name of the jtl file) Example: jmeter -n -t C:\QA\test.jmx -l C:\QA\testresults.jtl this will make a different .jtl file based on the name you give it.
I'm running JMeter through jenkins for performance testing using the command line options. I already write to one jtl file when I do the command, such as:
java -jar path to Jmeter -n -t jmx file -l log file
I would like to also put the results into another log file stored in another location, but I can't get it to work by putting another path after the -l command or putting in a second -l. Is there anyway to do this simply?
Thanks
Check these options. you should use the option '-j'. It works fine for me.
-n This specifies JMeter is to run in non-gui mode
-t [name of JMX file that contains the Test Plan].
-l [name of JTL file to log sample results to].
-j [name of JMeter run log file].
-r Run the test in the servers specified by the JMeter property "remote_hosts"
-R [list of remote servers] Run the test in the specified remote servers
