Hi, Listeners apply to their parent and all samples that are childs from their parent level down. This is the only way to reduce the scope of a listener: to add it in a different controller which contains only the samplers you want to monitor. It is not always possible to do because you still want to respect a certain sequence of samples sometimes. So when this happens, but I still want to exclude some of the requests, I add different listeners as child to every sampler I am interested in.
The only selective conditions available to listeners is success/failure. So if you fail a request that doesn't meet a condition you can choose to monitor only those that meet your expectations - but that means increasing the error rate artificially (which is not a problem, if you only monitor the successes anyway). Its not elegant, I don't recommend it. Maybe some plugin does the job, but never searched for it, as I never needed this scenario to work before.
