Eliminating samples from Listeners
Is there any feature request to eliminate samples from the response time
calculations/listeners or is there any way to achieve this? This is useful
for initialisation sort of samplers (e.g. beanshell) or in cases where a
frame / iframe makes a request to say blank.html which is needed for
fidelity of the test , but is not really needed to measure response times ..
(currently I do this after the fact using custom stylesheets on the jtl
file).

thanks, didnt think of the listeners thing , but probably too much work for
my liking :).
I normally write custom stylesheets to get the data as I want which is
reasonably ok (and similar to your second option), as in most cases the phb
needs reports he can understand.

Re: Eliminating samples from Listeners

There is a workaround to this:
-> depending on the way you organize your test plan tree, your
listeners record only samples from there level down (inclusive) - I
know I read this somewhere, but could not find a reference link for
you.
example:
1. login
|-[ simple controller ]-
|- 2. user profile page
|- 3. change settings
|-[ loop controller ]-
|- 4. some other action
|- 5. even another action
|- listener(s) #1 -> this listener(s) only records samples
4. and 5. but not above
|- listener(s) #2 -> this listener(s) records 2. 3. but also
4. and 5. but not 1. login
this one very simplist example, i get usually into weird situations
because of this method and is not elegant, but thought to mention it
just in case it helps.
-> if you write your results to a file it gets even simpler to do
this (i do this even if i have to run in gui mode, to have some backup
results just in case - i prefer csv files if i am only interested in
response times)
you just edit the results file and remove unwanted results for one
type a listeners, save the file and then load it into the listener in
gui mode and the listener will only use what you wanted.
again, not elegant, but effective.

Listeners only see samples in their scope, but otherwise there is no
provision for ignoring samples.
AFAIK there's no outstanding feature request for this; feel free to
raise one via Bugzilla.
