Multiple Post-Processor execution order
Hi,
Is there any way to control the execution order of post processors that
apply globally vs. those that are sampler-specific?
My use case is that I want to record sampler-specific MDC elements within a
sampler’s post processor, and have a generic post processor that does the
logging. E.g. Get the exact error message in the sampler’s post processor
(and the response payload may differ from sampler to sampler, hence the
need to have a sampler-specific post processor), and have a generic thread
group post processor which logs a message if the request fails.
For example, the tree would be:
Thread Group
+-JSR223 Post Processor A
+-Sampler
+- JSR223 Post Processor B
+- JSR223 Post Processor C
The sequence order appears to be:
Sampler
Post Processor A
Post Processor C
Post Processor B
If I add specific items to the MDC in Post Processor B, then with the above
execution order, they won’t be available in A or C.
Would be keen to hear from others who’ve used MDC for additional logging
similar to this.
Regards
Andrew

Thanks for the reply Stuart.
The intention of the having a Post-Processor outside the thread group is
that it will apply to all Samplers globally, i.e. for every sampler, log an
entry to an additional log file. Then, for the Sampler-specific
Post-Processor, extract one or more different fields from a JSON response,
so that they will be included in the log.
This way we can add additional context to the response time for each
request, i.e. we can capture the number of fields returned from a query, to
see how much of a correlation this has to response times, etc.Or whether
different input parameters included in a body request influence the
response time.
I suspect given the way the ordering is applied that the only way to do
this is to have a global Post-Processor for common sampler data, e.g. is
successful, duration, response code, etc. And add a log entry on *every
individual* Sampler to include Sampler-specific data. I was trying to avoid
having to include a log command for each Sampler, but that might be the
only way to do it in the meantime.
(The original question only included 1 sampler, that probably didn't help
my explanation, which was oriented around multiple different samplers).

The problem you have is the 2 defined outside the sampler are read before the sampler is run so they will run first. The only true way to control it is to have them within the sampler.
If you are just logging specific fields to file, grab the values using regex and then use a pre-processor instead so the logging is done before running the next sampler, if I understand your intentions correctly.
