How to save response data of a http sampler in jmeter - jmeter

I've a testplan with one http sampler in thread group. I want to run the test for 5 minutes. How can I store the results of sampler with request and response data into a file showing same like as in view results tree listener?

Add the next lines to user.properties file (lives in JMeter's "bin" folder):
jmeter.save.saveservice.output_format=xml
jmeter.save.saveservice.response_data=true
jmeter.save.saveservice.samplerData=true
jmeter.save.saveservice.requestHeaders=true
jmeter.save.saveservice.url=true
jmeter.save.saveservice.responseHeaders=true
Restart JMeter to pick the properties up
Run your test in command-line non-GUI mode like:
jmeter -n -t test.jmx -l result.jtl
Once your test is finished open JMeter GUI, add View Results Tree listener, locate result.jtl file using "Browse" button - you should see requests and responses details.

Remember that storing request and especially response data causes massive Disk IO overhead so don't forget to remove the aforementioned lines once you won't be needing verbose information anymore.

JMETER : During load run , few samples are failing while running with multilple users

This is my Test plan
Thread Group
- Only Once Controller
* login
-Loop Controller
* operations in GUI .every iteration picks unique data from csv
- Only Once Controller
* logout
I am using in GUI and Summary report .
This is working fine with 1 or 2 users. When I triggered with 10 users , sometime few samples are failing. I dont know where to check for logs.I enables log level to DEBUG and able to see the logs but not much info. Is there a way to check for screenshots on errors what exactly happened in browser that time? . Also how to generate jtl file? error files in Jmeter. Please help.
Don't use JMeter GUI for load testing, it's designed for tests development and debugging only, start your test in command-line non-GUI mode like:
jmeter -n -t test.jmx -l result.jtl
When test finishes you can open the result.jtl file with the listener of your choice or generate HTML Reporting Dashboard out of it
If at that stage there are failures you can temporarily enable JMeter to store all the request and response data by adding the next lines to user.properties file:
jmeter.save.saveservice.output_format=xml
jmeter.save.saveservice.response_data=true
jmeter.save.saveservice.samplerData=true
jmeter.save.saveservice.requestHeaders=true
jmeter.save.saveservice.responseHeaders=true
jmeter.save.saveservice.url=true
view.results.tree.max_results=0
Don't forget to delete previous result.jtl before the execution.

Save summary table data itself in jmeter

How should save summary report data in jmeter without clicking on 'Save table data'.
Note: I want to attach generated summary report data in SMTP request.
You may generate Dashboard Report, it's much better and available since JMeter 3.0. Run JMeter in NON GUI mode:
jmeter -n -t <path_to.jmx> -l <log.jtl> -e -o <dashboard_folder>
You can generate it by your self or in the cloud
You can even save the report automatically in GUI mode as well. Just enter the path and file name with .jtl(eg: c:/result/test.jtl) extension just above the report.
The result is generated in the provided location from where you can use for SMTP. The receiver of the JTL file can open the file in MS Excel with proper formats giving appropriate delimiter.
You can generate a CSV view of the Aggregate Report via JMeter Plugins Command Line Tool
Install JMeterPluginsCMD Command Line Tool using JMeter Plugins Manager
Add tearDown Thread Group to your Test Plan
Add OS Process sampler and configure it to run the following command:
JMeterPluginsCMD.bat --generate-csv test.csv --input-jtl results.jtl --plugin-type AggregateReport
Add SMTP Sampler after the OS Process Sampler and configure it to use test.csv file as request body or attachment
You might need to add the next line to user.properties file:
jmeter.save.saveservice.autoflush=true

I am getting Assertion Failed error while running jmeter script But I have not used assertions in my script

I am getting Assertion Failed error while running jmeter script But I have not used assertions in my script.
I was doing Load testing with 500 users and getting Assertion Failure errors
Most probably your script fails to download at least one so called "embedded resources" - image, script, style, font, etc. If you are not interested in the problems with the embedded resources - you can turn JMeter automatic check for HTTP Status code < 400 by adding the next line to user.properties file:
httpsampler.ignore_failed_embedded_resources=true
JMeter restart will be required to pick the property up.
If you don't want the change to be permanent you can pass it on ad-hoc basis using -J command-line argument like:
jmeter -Jhttpsampler.ignore_failed_embedded_resources=true -n -t test.jmx -l result.jtl

JMeter Behind proxy for load test

I have a requirement to do load test on server which runs behind a proxy. We are using shell script for performing load test(16 concurrent calls).
Please advice if I can port those script to JMeter to do load test behind proxy.
Yes, you can, check out Using JMeter behind a proxy chapter of the JMeter User Manual, the options are in:
Use -H and -P command-line arguments like:
jmeter -H your_proxy_host -P your_proxy_port -n -t test.jmx -l result.jtl
Use http.proxyHost and http.proxyPort Java System properties like:
jmeter -Dhttp.proxyHost=your_proxy_host -Dhttp.proxyPort=your_proxy_port -n -t test.jmx -l result.jtl
You can make the changes "permanent" by adding the next lines to system.properties file (lives in "bin" folder of your JMeter installation)
http.proxyHost=your_proxy_host
http.proxyPort=your_proxy_port
JMeter restart will be required to pick the properties up
For more information on points 2 and 3 see Configuring JMeter and Apache JMeter Properties Customization Guide
How do you know that your proxy will not become the bottleneck for your testing efforts? The least scale-able item in the path will govern the perceived performance of your clients.

How to send test results (CSV file) in Jmeter through Email after Test Run

Please provide the solution for how to send test results (CSV file) in Jmeter through Email after Test Run.
How to schedule the test for particular time and send mail automatically
Awaiting for your response
Add the next line to user.properties file (located in the "bin" folder of your JMeter installation)
jmeter.save.saveservice.autoflush=true
Add tearDown Thread Group to your Test Plan
Put SMTP Sampler under the tearDown Thread Group, configure SMTP server details, credentials, etc. and set it to send testresult.csv as the attachment. See Load Testing Your Email Server: How to Send and Receive E-mails with JMeter for more information and some example configuraiton.
Run your test in command-line non-GUI mode like:
jmeter -n -t yourtest.jmx -l testresult.csv
That's it, JMeter will run your test and send results via email upon test completion.
