Hello Raghav how to generate jtl file from standalone csv file

[@AkshayKumar-xh2ob]

This was the best video on jmeter on youtube. None of the other guys have explained things in so much detail.

[@RaghavPal]

Glad it was helpful Akshay. Humbled

[@hayaulislam]

Ma sha Allah. Your videos are amazing. Simple and concise. Keep spreading your knowledge.

[@RaghavPal]

Thanks a lot Haya

[@mohanalatha5308]

Thanks Raghav for the video. In my case, to create report at the end of the test, I need to add additionally -f to the command. Ex: jmeter -n -t “location of the jmeter script” -l “location of result file” -f -e -o “location of the output folder”. If they face "Error in NonGUIDriver java.lang.IllegalArgumentException", this solution can help them. One more pre-condition is: In Jmeter.properties file (which is in bin folder), uncomment property jmeter.save.saveservice.output_format=csv The output format should be in csv

[@RaghavPal]

Hi Mohana, thanks a lot for this information

[@alikhanmagomedaliev5500]

Mohana, you are a legend, thanks!

[@bazoombaaa]

Hi Raghu, I have used JMeter for jenkins in non-GUI mode. I now have to fail the build if any of the test case fails in jmeter. For this I have accessed the report that is saved in XML and added few pieces of shell script to fail it. But when it is CSV , it is difficult to break down into test cases. Do we have an easy way to fail a build incase any test fails ? Thanks.

[@raghuram7893]

Thanks much for your explanation Raghav...It is very clear and finally you made my day....Thanks much..

Hi Raghav, I am using JMeter 2.11. The -e option seems to be unavailable in 2.11. Can you please post a video about how I can tackle this. I tried running using ANT but I get a "content not allowed in prolog" error. Please help!

[@RaghavPal]

This is available ver 3.0 onwards Will not be able to use in earlier versions.

Hi Raghav, I really appreciate all ur efforts in making these videos. All videos are wonderful for a beginner. Could u pls explain threshold little detail with an example. thanks much :)

[@RaghavPal]

Hi Venkat, i am glad you found it helpful. Threshold in general are limits that we can set to check performance. for example if i set threshold for time taken by a web application to load as 2 sec. If the requests take more than 2 sec than it will be termed as failure (for threshold results)

Hi Raghav, Very nice videos. I need to know if there a way to remove few information from the report , for example I only need the main dashboard and Response Time report and want to remove the rest of the information in the HTML report. Is there a way to remove information about overtime chart and throughput chart and only keep dashboard and Response time reports ?

Hi Raghav, when using these commands to create HTML reports, is there a way to create a folder with append date and time to save HTML reports ? (same as append date and time to csv file name) I have tried it but not working

Hi Layan, I will need to check on that. Pls see this - 14.2 Configuring Dashboard Generation jmeter.apache.org/usermanual/generating-dashboard.html

[@jkapish2011]

Hi Raghav, I am able to create html reports while running in Non-GUI mode but the issue i am having is that the user needs to go in there and update the path of the folder where the report is stored and the csv where the test data is stored with every run. If that is not done i simply get a message that the folder is not empty? Any ideas how to overcome this (by it creating a new version of the folder in the same path or any other workarounds?). Any help would be appreciated . The fields below YourCSVName.csv and YourReportFolderName need to be updated for every run and i want to avoid doing that. Thanks!! Command i use to run test and generate report: ./jmeter -n -t /pathtoyourtestplanlocation/YourTestPlanName.jmx -l /pathtoyourcsvlocation/YourCSVName.csv -e -o /pathtoyourReportlocation/YourReportFolderName

[@RaghavPal]

Hi Kapish, in case you use a CI tool like jenkins, this can be configured in a job. However with JMeter you can write scripts to clean or delete folder and put it in setup thread group. Pls check this - stackoverflow.com/questions/41042236/how-can-i-delete-and-create-new-csv-file-with-jmeter For naming of files you can use variables and can pass them from command line

Hey Raghav, I am using Apache jmeter 5.3 version and I followed same steps as you told in the video but when i entered the details in the Server name for the About Page and Archive Page it throw me an error and even the result in the listener where the text column is there page name is not displayed and in the Response message :Non HTTP response message: Illegal character found in host: '/' i tried this 2-5 times and even i have tried with other url also same error i was getting , but when i entered the url name in the path it showed me the result. So the way i done that is right or wrong?

I have a question, the first run with html export was successful, but when i tried to re-run the same HTML command again, it errors out stating "Cannot write to HTML folder, because it is not empty". Is there a way to show the trend as it is in CSV file? because the csv file is able to append the data. Thanks in advance!

[@RaghavPal]

Hi Sneha, you can delete the contents of the folder before running.

[@amitgulhane-nd5rr]

Hi, I have one question , if i want to send the html i.e. index file to client so do i need to share all the scripts and every thing or is there is any way so that i can open the html report on any other way

[@RaghavPal]

Hi Amit In JMeter, if you want to share the HTML report with others, you can do it in a couple of ways: Share the entire JMeter project: You can share your JMeter project file (.jmx file) with others, along with the HTML report that is generated after running the test. The recipient can open the HTML report by double-clicking on the file, which will open in their default browser. This way, they can view the report and all the details, including charts, graphs, and other statistics. Share only the HTML report: To share only the HTML report, you need to generate the report using the appropriate JMeter plugin. After generating the report, you can share the HTML file and the associated files (like CSS and JS files) with others. They can open the HTML file in their browser, and the report will be displayed. To generate an HTML report in JMeter, you can use the "Generate Report Dashboard" option from the "Options" menu or use a plugin like "JMeterPluginsCMD Command Line Tool" or "JMeter-Plugins.org Plugin Manager." Once you have the report, you can share it with others via email, shared drives, or any other means you prefer.

Hi , I am not understanding the Active, Started and Finished term in CLI while creating html report. here i am sharing one of the line in jmeter "Active: 169 Started: 1000 Finished: 831". Total thread =1000, ramp up = 1000, constant timer =5000 means 5 seconds. please help me to understand this how started thread =1000 while active are only 169???

Hi Haya, suppose you set the thread count to 1000 and some ramp up time, So the threads will grow gradually reach the max and then start declining, So at any time there can be some no of active threads

Hi Pal, I am getting this error "Error in NonGUIDriver java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Results file: is not empty" when creating html report. If i simply try to create a csv report then it works but when i create html report it creates error. Why?

[@RaghavPal]

Can you try providing the location of the result file ( -l "location of result file) pointing to a non-existing file. (So that a new file gets created at runtime). I am assuming the error is due to some issue in the result file. Lets try this out and check.

[@VinayKumar-br1gz]

location of result file must be empty

yes. you should clear this forlder all the time before run non-gui script!

[@ayeshariz2625]

Hello Raghav, Iam doing the same for the 1000 user. Iam using 1 time loop for 1000 users and 300 second as a ramp up period. The thing is my tests gets executed till the 1000th user but the command prompt stands still , i.e not writing the ending lines and so there are no ouput/dashboard file is created. And yes thats working fine for less users like the same test for hundred user is successful. What Iam doing wrong here?

[@RaghavPal]

Hi Ayesha, It is possible that the issue is related to the resources of your machine. Running a test with 1000 users can be resource-intensive, and JMeter may be struggling to complete the test and generate the report due to the limited resources. Here are some steps you can try to resolve this issue: Increase the heap size: You can increase the heap size of JMeter by setting the following parameters in the JMeter startup script: HEAP="-Xms1g -Xmx2g -XX:MaxMetaspaceSize=256m" This will increase the heap size to 2GB, which should provide more resources to JMeter to complete the test. Increase the thread count: Instead of running the test with 1000 users in a single loop, you can split the test into multiple loops with a smaller number of users in each loop. For example, you can run the test with 100 users in 10 loops. This will reduce the resource load on your machine and make it easier for JMeter to complete the test. Optimize your test plan: You can optimize your test plan by removing unnecessary requests, reducing the size of requests and responses, and using timers to control the pacing of the test. This will reduce the resource load on your machine and make it easier for JMeter to complete the test. Use a distributed setup: If you have access to multiple machines, you can use a distributed setup to run the test. This will distribute the resource load across multiple machines, making it easier to complete the test and generate the report. By trying out these steps, you may be able to resolve the issue and successfully run your test with 1000 users
