How to read XML data inside a response body in jmeter - jmeter

I have been assigned with a task to capture the XML data inside a response body of a sampler in Jmeter. I've tried many ways to save the response data but there is no luck.is there any way to save the Response data in xml format using Jmeter? looking for a positive reply.

Add the next 2 lines to user.properties file (located in JMeter's "bin" folder)
jmeter.save.saveservice.output_format=xml
jmeter.save.saveservice.response_data=true
Run your JMeter test in command-line non-GUI mode like:
jmeter -n -t test.jmx -l result.jtl
You will be able to see response data for each sampler in result.jtl file.
See Configuring JMeter user manual chapter for more information on JMeter property files and properties
If you need to store the response data of one single sampler only, add JSR223 PostProcessor as a child of this sampler and put the following code into "Script" area:
new File('myFile.xml') << prev.getResponseDataAsString()
Once you execute JMeter test you should see myFile.xml in JMeter's "bin" folder, it will contain response data. Check out Groovy Is the New Black guide to learn about Groovy scripting in JMeter.

File upload through sampler "body data" section in JMeter

Is there any way to upload a file (like - pdf file) through Sampler "Body Data" section in JMeter?
There is, via __FileToString() function
More information on JMeter Functions concept: Apache JMeter Functions - An Introduction
However I don't think it's the correct way to upload the file (unless you're building a multipart request body manually for some reason)
So I would rather recommend recording your file upload request using JMeter's HTTP(S) Test Script Recorder, given you will have the file in JMeter's "bin" folder during the recording it will generate proper HTTP Request sampler and HTTP Header Manager.

Unable to recognise the Jmeter issue

I was testing a blog but I didn't get any output not even for just 2 threads. Please help in this. Sharing the image with you:
You have 555 value int Bytes column - so some output should be present.
If you run your test in non-GUI mode (hope you do) you can configure JMeter to store response body on error.
Add the next 2 lines to user.properties file (it's located in JMeter's "bin" folder)
jmeter.save.saveservice.output_format=xml
jmeter.save.saveservice.response_data.on_error=true
JMeter restart will be required to pick the properties up
When your test is over:
Open JMeter GUI
Add View Results Tree listener
Using "Browse" button locate .jtl results file and open it
Analyze response message and body.

Saving JMeter results in JTL/XML format

I'd like JMeter to save requests/responses to XML file ONLY if the request failed. All passed request should not be logged. How can I do that?
In order to store response data for failed requests all you need is just to add the next 2 lines to user.properties file (lives under "bin" folder of your JMeter installation)
jmeter.save.saveservice.output_format=xml
jmeter.save.saveservice.response_data.on_error=true
In regards to saving requests, I'm afraid you have only 2 choices:
save all requests (no matter of pass/fail status)
save nothing
Theoretically it can be worked around using scripting-enabled test elements like Beanshell Listener in combination with Sample Variables or patching JMeter source code, but there is no out-the-box flag to trigger conditional storing of request data.

How do I get Apache JMeter to include a GET or POST parameter in its CSV log output?

I am performing HTTP Request samples (both GET and POST) in JMeter and am trying to figure out how to include pieces of the request (right now, just the query and form parameters) in the CSV log output. It seems like I'll have to use something like BeanShell Listener to write my own log file using the JMeter API. Does that sound right?

Not necessarily. Given your parameters are in form of JMeter Variables (if not - you can convert them via User Defined Variables test element) you can use samples_variable property in order to add values to JMeter's .jtl results file
Add the next line to user.properties file (it's located under /bin folder of your JMeter installation)
sample_variables=var1,var2,etc.
where var1 and var2 are your JMeter Variables
Restart JMeter to pick the property up
Next time you run your test variable values will be added to .jtl results file

JMeter - Add random files to upload

I've a lot of files that i would like to upload to test my service but i need to pick up random files and send it. Is possible get random files and delete the file when request is completed?
Thank's in advance.
JMeter doesn't provide any test element to create random files and delete them, so you'll have to write the relevant code.
For example:
Add a Beanshell PreProcessor and Beanshell Post Processor as children of the requests which performs file upload
Put the following code into Beanshell PreProcessor "Script" area
import org.apache.commons.io.FileUtils;
File myFile = new File("myFile.txt");
FileUtils.writeStringToFile(myFile, "JMeter rocks!");
The code above creates "myFile.txt" file in JMeter's current working directory and writes "JMeter rocks!" line to it
In order to delete the file after request you can add the following code into the Beanshell PostProcessor
import org.apache.commons.io.FileUtils;
FileUtils.deleteQuietly(new File("myFile.txt"));
For more information on using Beanshell scripting in Apache JMeter see How to use BeanShell: JMeter's favorite built-in component guide.
