how to make jmeter output graphs

Question

I am not a jmeter expert, but I understand it can display graphs and save the data in .xml files.

Is there a way to have jmeter actually create JPG, GIF or PNG files (or whatever format that can be embedded in html?)

Added later: I need a solution that works in a batch run

Answer 1

A simple way would be to right click on a Graph Result to "Save Node as Image".

Answer 2

Use Loadosophia or jmeter-plugins

Answer 3

I would stand by @Andrey Pohilko in agreeing that Loadosophia is the best when it comes to graphs and also jmeter-plugins for addons for jmeter tool.

Check out the sample loadosophia graph here.

Answer 4

I would suggest saving as a CSV file, then using a graphing engine separately to generate graphs. If you want to create them dynamically you could use some open-source graphing tools and a workflow engine.

If you're happy with doing it by hand, Excel?

Answer 5

there is a list of ways to analyze logs on the wiki - http://wiki.apache.org/jakarta-jmeter/LogAnalysis

I use jmetergraph.pl for nice summary reports. Note that there is a bug with the default jmetergraph.pl, you need to add this to line 313, at the end of the while loop:

    close(IN);
}

$glabels{'entire'} = \%entire;    # this line added.
print "Found $#labels labels\n" if $DEBUG;

Otherwise you can use the jmeterlog class to create your own images by writing custom code for it.....

Answer 6

Use JMeter-plugins and the listener called JP@GC Graphs Generator:

In upcoming version 2.14 or 3.0, there will be this new feature that generate an HTML report with dynamic graphs, APDEX table and summary of errors:
