If you want to aggragate results over multiple independent runs, you must use external processing of the logs to get the results you want. This is not hard using common scripting languages or writing a simple utility yourself. We wrote a simple app that aggragates values from test results, puts them in a running file.. and then plots them with gnuplot.
As for copying the line.. simply save your results to csv, import into excel and process only the lines you want vs all. I think you can solve your logging problems with proper scope of the controllers vs the listener in the test plan. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Wednesday, February 11, 2009 10:17 AM To: JMeter Users List Subject: RE: Looking for TOTAL run-time results, not per HTTP request. Hi Adrian, Adding a transaction controller to hold my 10 simple controllers resulted in a 46th line in the summary report and in the aggregate graph. Indeed it shows aggregated values at the transaction level: average / min / max times etc. over all runs. I still see the detailed values at the 45 page leves thougl, which is a minor annoyance that I can live with. The only place where I find run-time values for each individual run / transaction is in "View results in table": I could copy every 46th line to Excel and use that to draw my graphs. The result is not perfect, but it's a big step forward already. Thanks a lot. P.S: As for the 4x per hour timing: I'm using a fixed delay after the last simple controller, combined with a loop count at the thread group level. It's accurate enough for my needs. As an alternative, I tried your suggestion and added a constant throughput timer outside the transaction controller. The result was a pause between each and every page request ;-( Kind Regards.
