Hi, The reason is the perfmon plugin is not using the JMeter internal behaviors to ping the agent. There is a separate object responsible to connect to the agent and to query the metrics every defined interval and pass the data to the visualizer. This object is controled by the testelement, which is notified of start / stop of the test. At the startup of the test a socket is opened and will be used during the life of the test, with a polling thread. It is similar to ftp protocol, with keywords as command (eg, mem, cpu, swp, etc.).
In non gui mode, I create my own file to collect the metrics. My idea was to get the name of the jtl file and create another one with same path/name but different extension. It is not a big deal if I cannot get the jtl file name. the user can specify -JperfmonFile=/path/to/file.jppm it is enough. I'm sorry I have diverted from the JMeter model to implement this particular plugin...
