Excluding a thread group/request from Summary Report ?

[Laurent Perez <ha...@gmail.com>]

Hi

I'm using two thread groups and a summary report listener to gather their
data (after the groups, not one summary report child per group).
Later in the tree, I did place a third thread group with an infinite loop :
it's sole role is to trigger a java sample request at random intervals,
which updates various remote application beans thru JMX.

My problem is that this third thread group java request is collected by the
summary report listener, placed above : I would like to avoid this, because
this request is not a "real" user request.

What's the best method to exclude this third thread from the report ? I'm
thinking about moving it to another .jmx file and use an include controller,
but I don't know yet if the report will still use it.... should I change my
own java sample request to a monitor class ?

thanks
laurent

Just had another thought: there is a summariser:

http://jakarta.apache.org/jmeter/usermanual/component_reference.html#Generate_Summary_Results

which aggregates statistics by the value of the Name: field, so you
could add it to just the thread groups you want to monitor.

However, the output is designed for batch runs, so may not be suitable.

If you don't mind waiting until the end of the run, you could filter
the the JTL files to remove the extra data and then load into the
Summary Report.

Or use mutiple Summary Reports and combine the data afterwards. You
can select the table cells and copy and paste the data into a
spreadsheet. (Next version of JMeter will have a Save button).

Or indeed, do your own analysis on the JTL files.

All depends what you need the report for.

unfortunately, my sample is returning data, so I'll just move it to another
instance as you suggested and postpone the start of the first instance to
let me start the second instance by hand.

Why not use a separate JMeter instance to run this?

The include controller won't change things.

If the Java sample request returns a null sample, then there's nothing
to collect.
