This is why I'm not familiar with the specific/techie details of the actual setup. But we did require support from newrelic people for the initial setup. In large tests we do very minimal client side monitoring (i.e. jmeter logs, graphs are out of the question), in either jmeter or the system itself: no logging apart from console output and minimal machine resources monitoring. This is needed only to double check test health and results stored in other tools (ganglia, open tsdb, newrelic, load balancer stats, etc). As such there is very little to compare. We did double check before running the test at full speed that results on both sides coincide, but after that point, monitoring was done only in those tools, whatever was used for each project, and only on the server under test side! I recommend this setup to detailed client side monitoring because the first setup allows you more detailed debugging of the actuall application under test and having both in place makes little sense when you're confident in your test setup. I can confirm the results were similar if that's what you need, but I'm not really sure if the data can be shared publicly... the data is also very specific to each project (like response times of a particular method, which is possible in newrelic & open tsdb).
