JMeter ElasticSearchBackendListenerClient Plugin

Compatibility

tested 20.01.2019

• JMeter 5.0.0
• Smartmeter 1.8.2

Elasticsearch

tested 20.01.2019

• Elasticsearch 6.5.x

Install

1. copy install.sh to path-to-apache-jmeter/lib
2. run ./install.sh

How to use

• elasticsearchCluster ip and port any your node
• clusterName your cluster name
• indexName and sampleType set yout index pattern
• runId is ID of unique run
• release, testPlanName and flag is a searchable labels

Warning

These settins will affected the troughput for logging to Elasticsearch. Consider about the setup Async Queue size. Default is 5000 messages. These settings are recommended only for smoke.

• verbose options always|ifError|never logs of full requests and response
• saveSubResults options true|false logs all data from subrequests

For view of real-time performance test metrics, you cau use Elasticsearch and Kibana

Setup Elasticsearch

Setup your nodes

• indices.memory.index_buffer_size: "30%"

Check Kibana
