Hi JMeter users- 
 
I want to capture the exact sampler request and response data when a failure
occurs, and correlate it with JMeter log entries. Can I have your feedback
on this? 
 
Here is what I do:
1.      In the uppermost test plan element, tick 'Functional Test Mode' 
2.      In the bottom outer level, insert an 'Assertion Listener'. 
At this position, it can "listen" to all samplers.
3.      Set these 'Assertion Listener' properties:
a.      Write all data to a logfile
b.      Tick 'Log Errors Only' (to reduce the logging overhead)
 
After the test runs, I get two logfiles:
a.      JMeter logfile (-l parameter)
This logfile contains the usual brief log entries for all samplers that ran.

b.      'Assertion Listener' logfile (Specified in 
This contains entries similar to the JMeter log, but only for assertion
failures, and with extra tags (e.g.: <binary>) that carry sampler request
and response data.
 
A few questions:
*       How can I correlate the 'Assertion Listener' failure data with the
JMeter log entries? 
If common GUIDs were assigned to logentries, this would be easy, but there
aren't 
 
*       Can the 'Assertion Listener' logfile be set to not only store debug
error data, but also store brief entries for all requests?
This would put all the required data in one file - there would be no need to
correlate with the JMeter logfile.
 
*       Can this be done better another way? 
 
Sincerely,
Sonam Chauhan
