Creating HTTP API for JMeter
Hello,
What do you think of creating an HTTP API for JMeter that could:
- Display what Summariser shows in browser
- Enhance this summary with more statistics
- get status of jmeter (test running, waiting)
- possible health information
- in the future some control on distributed testing
I am looking for the lightest embeddable server that we could use:
- I thought about Micronaut but it brings a lot of dependencies that
could trigger issues for some protocols since we don't have a separate
Classloader (which would be another story)
- Undertow looks rather minimal but API development is not as fast as
with Micronaut
Do you have other ideas ?
Regards
Philippe

All the functions so far listed are already available through the existing GUI.
So what is different about the proposed API?

My question targeted the how to gather those statistics inside JMeter.
Do we add some framework like https://metrics.dropwizard.io/4.0.0/
And then as a second step, how to present those values to the outside?

Well,
It would be mainly for tester in read only mode to start with.
When I run a test I’d like to have those statistic:
- transactions error rate
- number of trans executed
- percentiles of those
- network sent/received
Then in write mode with authentification :
- stop test
- shutdown test
- put on hold ( not available yet)
- increase load (not available yet)

Before we think about embedding an http server (why not tomcat?), we
should look at what information we want to gather and present and how
that should be accomplished.
And what about security concerns? To whom do we want to display those
values and how are they authenticated and authorized?

Why HTTP?
The suggested functionality seems more like JMX to me.
But if you insist on HTTP, then Jetty perhaps?
