Does anyone know if it is possible when using the -l switch on command line to execute, if you can log the headers in the .jtl file as well? I've actually named mine as .csv (read somewhere it doesn't matter) but no headers are appearing.
If this is not possible, can someone please tell me the what the headings should be?
Cheers,
J
If you're looking for HTTP request and response headers:
Storing headers in "csv" mode is not supported, you will have to switch to "xml" mode
It is unclear whether you look for "request" or "response" headers.
Kindly find the instructions on how to switch JMeter to store results in XML format and "tell" JMeter to store request and response headers:
Command-line mode:
jmeter -Jjmeter.save.saveservice.output_format=xml -Jjmeter.save.saveservice.responseHeaders=true -Jjmeter.save.saveservice.requestHeaders=true -n -t /path/to/your/script.jmx -l /path/to/results/file.jtl
Unattended mode:
Locate user.properties file in /bin folder of your JMeter installation
Add the next 3 lines to the user.properties file:
jmeter.save.saveservice.output_format=xml
jmeter.save.saveservice.responseHeaders=true
jmeter.save.saveservice.requestHeaders=true
and after JMeter restart the properties will get applied.
If you're looking for printing field names in CSV mode like like timeStamp,elapsed,label,responseCode,responseMessage,threadName,success,grpThreads,allThreads,Latency,Connect etc.
Command-line mode:
jmeter -Jjmeter.save.saveservice.print_field_names=true -n -t ....
Unattended mode: add the next line to user.properties file
jmeter.save.saveservice.print_field_names=true
See Apache JMeter Properties Customization Guide for comprehensive information on different JMeter properties and ways of setting and/or overriding them
See this post on how to add headers to csv output file.
You need to configure it in the jmeter.properties (Command switch won't work with this since it has to be defined first):
Configuring result file data when running JMeter in non-GUI mode
The print_field_names is by default false.
Edit jmeter.properties file in the Jmeter home directory, and set:
#---------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Results file configuration
#---------------------------------------------------------------------------
# This section helps determine how result data will be saved.
# The commented out values are the defaults.
# legitimate values: xml, csv, db. Only xml and csv are currently supported.
jmeter.save.saveservice.output_format=csv
...
...
# Only applies to CSV format files:
jmeter.save.saveservice.print_field_names=true
And run from command line:
\bin\jmeter.bat -n -t C:\Jmeter\Tests\Test.jmx -l Results.csv
Output example:
timeStamp;elapsed;label;responseCode;threadName;success;bytes;grpThreads;allThreads;Latency;SampleCount;ErrorCount;Hostname
11:49:16;32;Get the Agent ID;500;SM play 10 calls per user 1-1;false;0;1;1;0;1;1;HOST1

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 am trying to get Jmeter output in JTL format so that I can utilize JMeter GUI to "View result tree" using "Read from file" option
I am running following command from cmd line
jmeter -Jjmeter.save.saveservice.samplerData=true -Jjmeter.save.saveservice.response_data=true -n -t nmame.jmx -l JmeterReports/TestReport.jtl
When I open the result file Testreport.jtl generated, I don't see request and response data. Can you please help me?
You need to amend a little bit your command line in order to include some more properties responsible for the results file configuration like:
jmeter -Jjmeter.save.saveservice.output_format=xml -Jjmeter.save.saveservice.response_data=true -Jjmeter.save.saveservice.samplerData=true -Jjmeter.save.saveservice.requestHeaders=true -J jmeter.save.saveservice.responseHeaders=true -Jjmeter.save.saveservice.url=true n -t nmame.jmx -l JmeterReports/TestReport.jtl
In order to make the change permanent add the next lines to user.properties file (lives in "bin" folder of your JMeter installation)
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
More information: How to Save Response Data in JMeter
You have chosen to include entities that are available only if the output format is XML.
Hence, include below as part of your argument list
-Jjmeter.save.saveservice.output_format=xml
items with (XML) only apply to XML format
Source: https://jmeter.apache.org/usermanual/listeners.html#sample_configuration
Reference Screenshot
You can still persist with .JTL file extensions for your log files and need not rename all of them to .XML. JMeter will still read the data and provide you with the necessary details
Hope this helps!
I would like to run the same JMX file for different loads/threads using different csv config files.Let's say csv files contains data for the username and password. For test1 csv file has 1000 rows for the test2 csv file has 2000 rows like that so on..
How can i provide different csv files via command line for the same JMX file for different thread count.
I know i can pass the threads,rampup,rampdown,duration by usin __P() function like ${__P(threads,)}via command line as below
jmeter -Jthreads=200 -Jrampup=10 -Jduration=1000 -Jrampdown=10 -n -t test1.jmx -l result1.jtl
Thanks,
Raj
You can do it just the same way as you do for Threads, Rampup, Duration, etc.
In your CSV Data Set Config define the Filename using __P() function like:
${__P(csvFile,test1.csv)}
this will tell the CSV Data Set Config to read the filename from csvFile JMeter Property and use test1.csv if the property is not set (so you could debug your test in GUI mode)
That's it, now you will be able to pass the file name using -J command-line argument like:
jmeter -JcsvFile=/path/to/file2.csv -Jthreads=200 ....
alternative way of setting up the property is putting the value in user.properties file. Check out Apache JMeter Properties Customization Guide for more information.
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

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)
