I'm using grafana, influxdb and jmeter. I have this table.
I need to add a column that says "Base Line" with a value different for each request name. I have tried the following:
- Grafana does not seem to have a way to add static values for columns, or a query equivalent of sql for "select 'value' as 'columnName'"
- I tried creating a new time series for static data (base lines) and do a join of the results from jmeter with the series I created, but I get this error:
error parsing query: found AS, expected ;
I'm having a hard time trying to create an extra column with fixed data for each request... my last resort is to modify or create a jmeter plugin for that matter, but before going for that, there might be something I could be missing.
The easiest solution I can think of is adding a Dummy Sampler which will be doing nothing but "sleeping" for specified amount of time which is your "baseline".
JMeter's Backend Listener will collect this sampler metrics and you will either see a straight horizontal line identifying your baseline in the chart or the baseline value in the table or will be able to aggregate as a vertical column.
You can install Dummy Sampler using JMeter Plugins Manager

I am working on a BIRT report. Its records are grouped on the basis of the status column. I was looking for an option in the Eclipse BIRT tool by which I can hide combinations of multiple columns in a row which are repeating. I have attached screenshots for both the current report and the expected report structure.
I tried the "suppress duplicate" option but that is limited to a single column. I am not able to apply this on multiple columns together. I couldn't figure out any other option. Please suggest any solution in the tool or do I need to change my query to return the result in the expected format?
Actual Result:
Expected Result:
There are three obvious ways to hide duplicate values.
All of these require you to configure this per column (BTW I don't understand why you consider this to be a problem).
As you already did: Use "suppress duplicates" at the column level.
Add more groups to your table after the existing group.
E.g. one group for the first column (whatever that is).
Then you can choose "Drop" "detail" in the properties of the corresponding group header cell. It's a bit difficult to get the layout right this way.
In your data set, if it's SQL, you can use a little construnct with CASE and the LAG analytic function to compare the column value to that of the previous row, and if they are equal, return NULL instead (pure SQL solution).
Currently I am learning jmeter and using it to test a reporting tool
This portal I am testing contains a table that as default, brings all the data the moment the user access the view.
My test needs to access this view, capture a value (any value) from a specific column (and any row) and then search for this value.
I was checking how to capture this on run parameter with Jmeter and found this:
https://www.blazemeter.com/blog/how-to-retrieve-database-data-for-api-testing-with-jmeter
but as I understood, I would need access to the database in order to do it, which I dont.
Any idea of how to retrieve this?
Thanks!
JMeter provides a number of Post-Processors which can be used for extracting data from the table.
If you're talking about normal HTML Table - the most suitable would be XPath Extractor, the relevant XPath query would be something like /table/tr/td/text()
So if you add XPath Extractor and configure it like
You will be able to use random cell text as ${value} where required

I use OracleBI 12c. We had to create a analysis. Let's say we need to show all the clients with account code starting with '202%' and at the same time we should check if that client also has account_code starting with '226%' . If they have then show them, else don't.
It may sound simple, but all filter options I tried didn't give the wanted output. Also I tried to use selection steps but didn't succeed either.I could have done that using FILTER in Column formula, but since the column is not a measure attribute it throws error 'Filter funciton requires at least one measure attribute in its first argument'.
Have somebody had this kind of issue?
I am using Jmeter in order to perform an update on a table. It is working fine in the sense it is updating the rows but I am not able to find out how to get acknowledge of how many rows were updated.
As an example I'm using this query:
Update MIG_LOT set STATE='LIBRE' where LOT=2033
On the JDBC Request I used UPDATED on the field Result variable name but it doesn't seem to put in it the number of rows updated or any other information
Well it was easier.
Just attach a Regular expression extractor:
Using in Reference name the name I want for the variable, ([0-9]+) updatesas the Regular Expression, $1$ on the Template and 1 as the Match number.
And I can access the number of updated rows through the UPDATESREGEXP variable.
This is my first attempt to create a Visual Studio 2008 report using parameters. I have created the dataset and the report. If I run it with a hard-coded filter on a column the report runs fine. When I change the filter to '?' I keep getting this error:
No overload for method 'Fill' takes '1' argument
Obviously I am missing some way to connect the parameter on the dataset to a report parameter. I have defined a report parameter using the Report/Report Parameter screen. But how does that report parameter get tied to the dataset table parameter? Is there a special naming convention for the parameter?
I have Googled this a half dozen times and read the msdn documentation but the examples all seem to use a different approach (like creating a SQL query rather then a table based dataset) or entering the parameter name as "=Parameters!name.value" but I can't figure out where to do that. One msdn example suggestted I needed to create some C# code using a SetParameters() method to make the connection. Is that how it is done?
If anyone can recommend a good walk-through I'd appreciate it.
Edit:
After more reading it appears I don't need report parameters at all. I am simply trying to add a parameter to the database query. So I would create a text box on the form, get the user's input, then apply that parameter programmatically to the fill() argument list. The report parameter on the other hand is an ad-hoc value generally entered by a user that you want to appear on the report. But there is no relationship between report parameters and query/dataset parameters. Is that correct?
My last assumption appears to be correct. After 30 years in the industry my bias is to assume a report parameter actually filters the SQL data using the given parameter. This is not the case with .rdlc files used by Report Viewer. These report parameters have nothing to do with fetching data. Sounds like this was a design decision on Microsoft's part to completely separate the display of data from the fetching of data, hence, Report Viewer has no knowledge of how data may be fetched. Best way for me to conceptualize this dichotomy is to think of Report Parameters more as Report Labels, quite distinct from the dataset query parameters.
