Real-time results of JMeter performance test execution.

JMeter InfluxDB Grafana Docker container

This is a container setup that allows you to immediately synchronize JMeter results with InfluxDB and visualize what is happening in realtime.

Prerequisites

Ensure both docker and docker-compose are installed.

Build JMeter docker image

docker build -t jmeter jmeter-docker

Start InfluxDB and Grafana

docker-compose up -d

Adjust JMeter script

Define 2 variables on the Test Plan component.

Name	Value
CLIENTNAME	Example
STARTDATETIME	${__time(yy-MM-dd-HH:mm:ss:SSS)}

Add & configure the Backend Listener in Jmeter.

Name	Value
influxdbMetricsSender	org.apache.jmeter.visualizers.backend.influxdb.HttpMetricsSender
influxdbUrl	http://${__P(INFLUXDB_HOST, localhost)}:8086/write?db=jmeter_results
application	${CLIENTNAME}_${STARTDATETIME}
measurement	jmeter
summaryOnly	false
samplersRegex	.*
percentiles	90;95;99
testTitle	Test name
eventTags

Run JMeter script

./run-specific-jmeter-script.sh example.jmx

Filter the correct testrun in Grafana

It is the concatenation of CLIENTNAME and STARTDATETIME.
