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:
