Sorry, answered my own question. I had at one point been trying to use a
post-processor with "last_sample_ok" and that doesn't give what I would
consider to be expected results, but the IF controller actually was working as
expected and that's good enough for me.

Subject: Gettings results from most recent sampler
Hi all,
Kind of a basic question, but I'm a little confused by how JMeter exposes
getting most recent sampler results. I have a JMeter script where I need to
write a value to a file if a particular sampler doesn't fail. There are a few
different ways that I could do this, all taking advantage of JMeter's idea of
last or previous sample. However, from what I have observed, it seems that the
"last" or "previous" sample isn't actually whatever sample just occurred, but
whatever sample occurred prior to the last sample, which does me no good. For
example, I have an HTTP sampler called SamplerA. Right after that I have an
IF controller with the condition ${JMeterThread.last_sample_ok}. Both of these
are in a loop controller. I also have the ViewResultsTree listener and Debug
PostProcessor so I can see what's going on. After running a few rounds, let's
say that the sampler results are fail, pass, fail. In that case, what I'll see
reported for "last_sample_ok" is true, false, true. I was expecting it to
report false, true, false. I am missing the intent of last_sample_ok or prev?
Thanks,
Glenn
