How to save exact response from Jmeter in a file?
e.g. - I have a response as email only so I want to save this email address only in a file with a success and failure but If I am saving a file as xml its giving a whole bunch of code otherwise if I save it as a csv file it's giving all sort of infomation other than a email address. Pls help me to solve it.
If you need to save the whole response - Save Responses to a file listener is what you're looking for.
If you need to store a part of the response - first of all get the necessary part with i.e. Regular Expression Extractor. Once you have JMeter Variable holding required value i.e. email you can add the next line to user.properties file (lives under /bin folder of your JMeter installation)
sample_variables=email
and ${email} variable value will be stored along with other results.
NB
you need to restart JMeter to pick the property up
you can also pass it via -J command line argument like:
jmeter -Jsample_variables=email -n -t /path/to/testplan.jmx -l /path/to/results.jtl

I am trying to generate a html report in JMeter. For which I am using below command:
jmeter -n -t C:\Controlled_Environment\apache-jmeter-5.4.1\bin\Automation\Cursor_Leak_Report.jmx -l C:\Controlled_Environment\apache-jmeter-5.4.1\bin\Automation\Curosr_Leak\cursor.csv -e -o C:\Controlled_Environment\apache-jmeter-5.4.1\bin\Automation\Curosr_Leak\cursor
But this html reports does not shows what values I have extracted.
For example, the .jmx helps to know how many Database connection are made to the App. I am extracting the count via SQL query and using regular expression extractor. How can I show in HTML dashboard the same.
By default it won't.
You need to:
Declare the variable you use in the Regular Expression Extractor as Sample Variable, i.e. add the next line to user.properties file (lives in "bin" folder of your JMeter installation)
sample_variables=foo
Configure HTML Reporting Dashboard to plot the custom chart over time providing this sample variable, it can be done in the same user.properties file:
jmeter.reportgenerator.graph.custom_testGraph.classname=org.apache.jmeter.report.processor.graph.impl.CustomGraphConsumer
jmeter.reportgenerator.graph.custom_testGraph.title=Variable from DB over Time
jmeter.reportgenerator.graph.custom_testGraph.property.set_Y_Axis=Variable from DB Value
jmeter.reportgenerator.graph.custom_testGraph.set_X_Axis=Over Time
jmeter.reportgenerator.graph.custom_testGraph.property.set_granularity=60000
jmeter.reportgenerator.graph.custom_testGraph.property.set_Sample_Variable_Name=foo
jmeter.reportgenerator.graph.custom_testGraph.property.set_Content_Message=Variable from DB :
I have an external data in my test data that is an id that I would like to be able to write to the the result file that is generated when I run this command:
./jmeter -n -t /home/usr/jmeter/script.jmx -l /home/usr/jmeter/scriptjtl
The id will not be used for any request, but the trackid is necessary to include i troubleshooting errors. Example of how the track_id can look: kJbc1W1YupprLcB8YZE0gla1T8APE7Td
Is there some possible away to save the track ID in the result file as a parameter or in any other way?
If you have this track_id extracted into a JMeter Variable you can use sample_variables property in order to add it to the .jtl results file, amend you command line as:
./jmeter -Jsample_variables=track_id -n -t /home/usr/jmeter/script.jmx -l /home/usr/jmeter/scriptjtl
once script finishes you will see an extra column called track_id containing the respective values for the ${track_id} variable for each Sample Result
In order to make the change permanent add the next line to user.properties file (lives in "bin" folder of your JMeter installation)
sample_variables=track_id

I would like to send an empty value like below.
https://www.google.com/search?q=
But Jmeter sends EOF instead of empty value. What is the workaround, someone please throw some light.
Thanks..
If you're parameterizing your test using CSV Data Set Config and setting Recycle on EOF to False
then when JMeter reaches the last line of the CSV file it sends the csvdataset.eofstring property value which is <EOF> by default.
The options are in:
Add as many empty lines as you want to send to the end of your CSV file
Add the next line to user.properties file (lives in "bin" folder of your JMeter installation):
csvdataset.eofstring=
JMeter restart will be required to pick the property up.
I am fetching data from the CSV file and giving as input to my Request.How can I save all the request in the same file when I run a test for an hour.
One more requirement is, if the result is success then I have to write that data I have used from the CSV into another file so that we can have only the data which is working in an separate file.
Please suggest
The best way would be using JMeter's built-in Sample Variables property.
Add the next line to user.properties file:
sample_variables=foo
Replace foo with the variable name you're getting from the CSV file
Next time you run your JMeter test in command-line non-GUI mode like:
jmeter -n -t test.jmx -l result.csv
your result.csv file will have an extra column called foo and having the foo variable value for each and every request. You will be also able to determine which data caused the failure by looking into "success" column
In my Jmeter test, I am able to use REGEX Extraction, After extraction I want to write the value of the REGEX variable into a file
I found a workaround as using beanshell as mentioned here https://stackoverflow.com/a/15159521/4556894
Is there any clean way of doing it, May be some inbuilt features, which I am not aware of
It is possible to write variable values into JMeter .jtl results file. There is a JMeter Property called sample_variables
Optional list of JMeter variable names whose values are to be saved in the result data files.
Use commas to separate the names.For example:
sample_variables=SESSION_ID,REFERENCE
So if you run JMeter in command-line non-GUI mode as follows:
jmeter -Jsample_variables=myVariable -n -t /path/to/your/testplan.jmx -l /path/to/testresults.jtl
You'll get the output like
timeStamp,elapsed,label,responseCode,responseMessage,threadName,dataType,success,bytes,grpThreads,allThreads,Latency,"myVariable"
1425978657207,368,HTTP Request,200,OK,Thread Group 1-1,text,true,1591,1,1,367,YOUR_VARIABLE_VALUE
In above example column names are given for reference, they are not included into csv results file by default. This behavior is controllable via jmeter.save.saveservice.print_field_names property, set it to "true" to get column names printed along with results data.
You can also set sample_variables property value in user.properties file which lives under /bin folder of your JMeter installation or uncomment it in jmeter.properties file (same location)
