Deepak, to answer your questions: I would like to send results in real time to some monitoring/reporting server while the test is running, not after it's done. I'd like to do that in non-GUI mode. In my post I mention some existing solution (no source code though), although I'd like to expand upon it like sending stats to a riemann server.
Regarding listeners saving results to file if configured, I did notice that. However, back end listener by default does not appear to have an option to save results to file or "run" while in non GUI mode. The GUI for that element as shown in jmeter GUI does not have any fields to specify saving to file unlike some other listeners like the graph/report ones. So I assume for saving to file with backend listener, one would have to put that functionality in one's own custom back end listener implementation? I doubt it's there in the default graphite one. And so if that assumption is correct, does that mean there's a way to make the custom back end listener "run" in any mode (GUI and non-GUI)? Or am I misinterpreting? As you've clarified, listener's GUI doesn't get used in non-GUI mode, but so that means all it's other functionality still runs in non-GUI mode? Meaning a back end listener will do whatever processing its supposed to do in non-GUI mode just the same as GUI mode but w/o the GUI display? Pardon all these questions, I haven't had chance to try out and get the (default) back end listener working, even in GUI mode, to test/confirm myself.
