How can i see the summary or aggregate values in jmeter jtl file - jmeter

Am running recorded jmeter performance script (by adding summary and aggrgate listners), in non-gui mode using Maven. After running am getting .jtl file, but am not seeing the values for summary and aggregate values.
how can i see the summary or aggregate report in .jtl file, without opening Jmeter GUI.
We are planneing to run through jenkins on daily basis. Once jtl file is generated the other script has to look the values for summary / aggregate values and show it on the dashboard.
Can anybody please help me regarding this.

Typically I set the results file int the Summary Report Listener and select the fields I want to get back. When you run the test via non-gui (ie through Jenkins) you will get the summary results file and it should be in your workspace.
Here is my JMX file, testing some mobile APIs. JMeter Test Plan and Results
Also to note is the Generate Summary Results Listener. Per the docs
In Non-GUI mode by default a Generate Summary Results listener named "summariser" is configured,
This will not show up in the JTL but will show up in your log file and will generate lines such as
2015/08/28 15:14:33.305 INFO - jmeter.reporters.Summariser: summary = 2200 in 169s = 13.0/s Avg: 17 Min: 2 Max: 5129 Err: 0 (0.00%)

The values you're used to see in Aggregate Report / Summary Report listeners are being calculated from the following metrics:
timestamp
elapsed
success
bytes
latency
For instance:
Average metric is sub of "elapsed" times for all the samplers divided by samplers count.
Median metric is a common statistical measurement basically 50% percentile
90%, 95%, 99% - are also percentiles like median
etc.
Depending on your skills set you can check i.e. Calculator.java class code to see how JMeter calculates averages, percentiles, throughput, etc. and implement some form of postprocessor, use MS Excel, LibreOffice Calc or equivalent on .jtl CSV results file.
If you need to get these results after JMeter run the easiest option are:
Vanilla Jmeter:
if you launch JMeter via Ant Task or Maven Plugin - you'll get HTML results file like:
For more information on configuring Ant and/or Maven integration refer above links or Five Ways To Launch a JMeter Test without Using the JMeter GUI guide.
Using JMeter plugins:
Console Status Logger - which prints quick stats information to stdout and jmeter.log file
0 Threads: 27/5000 Samples: 1 Latency: 5 Resp.Time: 5 Errors: 0%
1 Threads: 2350/5000 Samples: 142 Latency: 19 Resp.Time: 19 Errors: 0%
2 Threads: 4500/5000 Samples: 130 Latency: 51 Resp.Time: 51 Errors: 0%
3 Threads: 5000/5000 Samples: 153 Latency: 81 Resp.Time: 81 Errors: 0%
Loadosophia.org Uploader - which uploads your test results to Loadosophia.org cloud service where you can perform analysis, see graphs, charts, export report as PDF, etc.

How to get the load test report for different user load patterns in the step up load test scenario in JMeter?

Load Test Scenario
Please find the attached Load test scenario for reference.
I am starting the load test with 50 users and it will run for 30 minutes, After 30 minutes I will add another 50 users and it will run for another 30 minutes and then I will add 100 users and all the 200 users (50+50+100 users) will run for 1 hours.
Once load test is completed, Apart from the default report, I would like to get the summary/aggregated report in the below order.
Report 1 : First 30 minutes (50 users load)
Report 2 : from 31 minutes to 60 minutes (50 users load)
Report 3 : from 61 minutes to 120 minutes (100 users load)
Can you please help how it can be achieved ?
Currently, I am filtering the metrics based on the time frame and doing it manually, it is time taking process so would like to know any readymade solution is available for the same, Thanks in advance.
You can use Filter Results Tool for this, i.e.
Report 1
FilterResults.bat --input-file result.jtl --output-file report1.jtl --start-offset 0 --end-offset 1800
Report 2
FilterResults.bat --input-file result.jtl --output-file report2.jtl --start-offset 1800 --end-offset 3600
etc.
Filter Results Tool can be installed using JMeter Plugins Manager

How to generate Jmeter HTML reports based on Thread Count like 1-100, 101-200, 201-300?

I have set up the Load Profile for 5000 Users using ultimate thread group
[Ultimate Thread Group Load ][1][1]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/99C8O.png
If I execute in non-GUI mode, only a single .jtl or CSV file gets generated after the end of the execution. is it possible to generate the .jtl file based on the Thread count mentioned in the ultimate Thread group like 1-30, 31-90, 91-240...? Splitting the .jtl and generate the HTML Report based on the Thread Count?
The easiest would be using Filter Results Tool which can extract parts of the single .jtl basing on start and end time offsets, for example:
FilterResults.bat --output-file 0-30.csv --input-file your-results-file.jtl --start-offset 0 --end-offset 190
will give you first 30 users
FilterResults.bat --output-file 31-90.csv --input-file your-results-file.jtl --start-offset 190 --end-offset 505
Filter Results Tool can be installed using JMeter Plugins Manager

JMeter 5.1.1 - Performance Metrics appears different during execution in Non-GUI console and later in GUI Listener for the same Test

Look at the results in Non-GUI Console
Look at the results in GUI Listener
It's very strange, I see different results for the same test.
The Average Response Time on Non-GUI Console displays as: 368 ms, whereas it displays 578 ms on Listener
Likewise, the Maximum Response Time on Non-GUI Console displays as: 4524 ms, whereas it displays 9999 ms on Listener
It appears to be happening on Jmeter 5.1.1 version, can someone help me out.
In the Summariser:
summary = 9377
In the Summary Report:
TOTAL = 11941
My expectation is that the inconsistency is being caused by extra ~2500 sample results in the .jtl results file, to wit you're appending the results of the current test run to the results of the previous test run. JMeter's summariser considers only current session and when you load the .jtl file in the Listener - it calculates the average from all entries in the file.
Consider passing -f command-line argument to your JMeter startup command line like:
jmeter -f -n -t test.jms -l result.jtl
this way you should get "clean" results and Summariser output will be in line with the Listener output
Thanks #Dmitri for pointing out the deviation of Sample size in Summariser and Listener which was causing the other Performance Metrics.
It all worked when I edited the below configuration in the Jmeter.properties file
Thanks

How to aggregate the results from different machine in Jmeter?

I have to run 1200 users to support my application.
We are running from 4 different machines and from Each machine we are running 300 users.
From Each machine we are getting .jtl files and it is size more than 300 MB..
we are able to get the Aggregate report by adding Listeners and browsing that .jtl files.
Due to the size of jtl files, every one has aggregate csv files only from 4 machine.
Label #Samples Average Median 90% Line 95% Line 99% Line Min Max Error % Throughput Received KB/sec Sent KB/sec
(Machine 1) TOTAL 34114 7200 1747 11853 60155 80773 0 240417 12.18% 14.61536 144.66 23.35
(Machine 2) TOTAL 35537 7927 1758 24698 60550 76834 0 150719 15.33% 14.79504 140.71 23.06
(Machine 3) TOTAL 34447 7189 1750 12280 60220 76963 0 155425 12.24% 14.72585 145.78 23.55
(Machine 4) TOTAL 34454 7316 1748 13595 60557 76975 0 150490 12.60% 14.69896 144.45 23.35
Eg.., Average = (7200+7927+7189+7316)/4 = 7408
How to present as a single report?
It is just some up all columns from 4 machines and divided by is the only way..If it is present in a way, is it correct report?
Or any other way?
Thanks,
You can switch to running your test in Distributed Mode i.e. using 1 master node and 4 slaves. In this setup you will have single results file on "master" host
If you do not plan to re-run your test in future and would just like to convert 4 results files into a single "uber" results file you can use Merge Results tool which main use case is to compare results of different test runs, however you can use it to combine multiple results files into one, just use the same Prefix Label.
You can install Merge Results tool using JMeter Plugins Manager

how to get the response time of web pages in jmeter?

How to generte csv file and load csv using response time graph listener?
Can any one help me in detail that how we find response time in jmeter ?
If you run JMeter in command-line non-GUI mode as follows:
jmeter -n -t /path/to/your/test_plan.jmx -l /path/to/results_file.jtl
your results_file.jtl content will look like:
1409124780902,182,Logon,200,OK,Thread Group 1-1,text,true,214,0
1409124781219,153,Logout,200,OK,Thread Group 1-1,text,true,110,0
where second column is page response time in milliseconds.
Other values are:
"1409124780902" - current time stamp in ms
"182" - page response time
"Logon" - sampler name
"200" - Response Code
"OK" - Response Message
"Thread Group 1-1" - Parent Thread Group name, thread number and iteration.
"text" - response data type
"214" - response data size in bytes
"0" - latency
Once your test run is done you can open JMeter GUI and load this results_file.jtl into the listener of your choice.
You might also be interested in JMeter Plugins Extras Set which is capable of generating nice looking and easy understandable response-time related graphs to wit:
Response Times vs Threads
Response Times Distribution
Response Times Percentiles
You can get it by adding Reporters.
Please keep in mind Reporters is cpu and memory intensive components and thus should not be used while actual load test.
But for sample testing you can use it and for load test run you can get response time, average,throughput etc by saving output to jtl file in JMeter.
For normal/sample run
Aggregate report gives Average response time, min, max, median etc.
Summary report also gives the same with less details,
While performing actual run you can save output of these reporters in a jtl file. After the test results can be analyzed from jtl files.
