Add extra data to test output

[Bennett McElwee <Be...@telecom.co.nz>]

Is it possible to write arbitrary data to the results file? For each
line of CSV data written, I would like to include extra fields of my own
devising. Essentially I want to be able to write the values of arbitrary
variables to the file.

The reason I want to do this is so I can include things such as a Test
Script ID and Test Run ID with every sample. This will make automated
post-processing of results much, much simpler.

Is there any way to do this without creating a new JMeter component?

If not, I think this could be done by writing an enhanced version of the
Simple Data Writer Listener. When configuring this Listener, users could
specify any number of variable names; the writer would append the values
of those variables to each line of the CSV results, or add <variable>
child elements to each <sampleResult> element in the XML file.

Is this a reasonable approach?

One way to do this currently might be to include the variables in the
sampler names.

Alternatively, use a single additional sample to record the fixed
information, and post-process the CSV file using a scripting language
such as Perl.

Your approach of extending the Simple Data Writer sounds fine.
