Jmeter and Graphing Sampler Errors over Time

Question

Is there any way to graph sampler errors over time after running a test plan in JMeter?

I had a test plan execute for an hour, and was watching the command line summary results go by. After about 45 minutes errors started appearing in the results. I looked for a listener which allowed me graph the error percent over time but wasn't able to find anything.

Looking at the results file it appears the sampler results saves a timestamp... Would it be possible to write my own tool that reads the results file (xml) and use the timestamp on each result to build this graph?

I am assuming ts in the example below is a timestamp?

<httpSample t="1" lt="0" ts="1446662820905" s="false" lb="[POST] Account Accept Invite Pass" rc="Non HTTP response code: org.apache.http.NoHttpResponseException" rm="Non HTTP response message: The target server failed to respond" tn="Load Tests Accept Invite Workflow 3-2" dt="text" by="1919">

Answer 1

No need to write a tool for this. Import the XML in MS Excel and create a graph/chart on your own.

Answer 2

To compute this you have at least 2 options:

• 1/ http://www.ubik-ingenierie.com/blog/automatically-generating-nice-graphs-at-end-of-your-load-test-with-apache-jmeter-and-jmeter-plugins/

• 2/ Or you can use this custom version of JMeter that contains a new Reporting feature:

You can see what it shows here:

This feature is being donated to JMeter, if you feel it's useful, then :
