Backend Listener Plugin not working while running test in Azure load testing service #128

Hi Team, I tried running a simple test with a single request and added 2 Backend Listeners ( Azure App Insights[https://github.com/adrianmo/jmeter-backend-azure] and Influxdb[out of the box feature of Backend Listener]). While the test is running in Local, I coud see data flowing through Azure app insights and data written in InfluxDB. But when I tried to run it in Azure Load testing, Listener is not working.

Can you please help check and let me know if you require any more detail.

@Manojsarathy ... currently we don't allow backend listeners as part of the test. it is disabled because of performance reasons.

Hi @Sachid26 - Thank you for your quick response. I'm trying to build a solution to have live transaction monitoring while test is running in Azlt as I could see that Azlt is in preview and provide less information on error ( only response code during live test). Can you please help suggest me any alternate way to achieve my requirement ?

Thanks in advance.

@Manojsarathy ... can you please help explain the scenario a little bit more. What would you like to achieve by doing this? Will the csv file and log generated post the test run help this use case?

@Sachid26 - My use case is that when the load test is running,

I would like to see transaction details of the test
Sometimes I used to get 200 OK response code for a particular request but response body will not be the expected one which I would like to see it in live test. For such cases, If I use backend listener, I will be able to send data to DB and then I can visualize it accordingly in Grafana. It would be more helpful if you can suggest me any alternate solution for this case.
