There are several aspects to this. Is it possible to obtain the IP address for a connection, and how expensive is it to do so? Note that JMeter does not do DNS resolution directly; is it possible to access the appropriate connection details? Using a separate lookup will be expensive. Also in the case of load balancing DNS a separate request may return a different result. Which protocol types should be supported? Should the details be stored in a sample result? This will potentially increase storage requirements, as well as work to add the new field to configs and logs. Or would it be sufficient to provide on-demand access, i.e. provide access to a method that returns the IP somehow? I suspect even the simplest implementation will be quite a lot of work, so what are the use cases for this feature? > -- > Refael Botbol, BlazeMeter. > Director of Professional Services
