Discarding the Results of a sampler

["Nicholson, Brad (Toronto, ON, CA)" <bn...@hp.com>]

Hi,

Is there any way to discard the results of an HTTP Sampler Request so that it is not in the log file?

I am working around an issue where there are high startup times that inflate the cost of first operation in a test.  This affects the numbers in my response time reporting (as I am not concerned about the startup time in these tests).  What I am going to do is insert a dummy request as the first request to take this hit, and then discard the data.  I can discard this by editing the logs files after the fact, but am wondering if there is a way to have Jmeter handle this automatically.

Thanks,
Brad.

Use a setUp thread group, and don't include that in the listener scope.
