I like your idea of pre-processing the jmx as the test is cleaner to run. An
If-Controller as suggested by sebb works but due to the fact that timers are
evaluated *before* samplers it takes a long while for meter to finish even
though some sparsely running samplers are meant to be 'disabled'.
For example jmeter will wait 8 minutes before stopping thread group A
-Thread Group A (1 thread, loops 100 times - sends a request every 8
minutes)
--Java sampler
--Constant timer (8 minutes)
--If Controller: property(groupA.enabled) is not true
----Test Action: stop current thread
-Group Group B
--Java sampler
--Constant timer
--If Controller: property(groupB.enabled) is not true
----Test Action: stop current thread
