Another InfluxDb BackendListener

[AntonioSun]

Hi @smicyk,

I'm switching to another InfluxDb Backend Listener, which is of class rocks.nt.apm.jmeter.JMeterInfluxDBBackendListenerClient

I first try follow the https://github.com/smicyk/groovy-jmeter/blob/develop/examples/plugins/datadog/script.groovy but got:

WARNING: Could not find match for name 'rocks.nt.apm.jmeter.JMeterInfluxDBBackendListenerClient'
Caught: net.simonix.dsl.jmeter.model.ValidationException: The keyword 'rocks.nt.apm.jmeter.JMeterInfluxDBBackendListenerClient' is not valid.

I then try follow the https://github.com/smicyk/groovy-jmeter/blob/develop/examples/standalone/script.groovy

Generating .jmx succeeded, but I got this:

Would you support this new InfluxDb Backend Listener please?

The desired xml output is:

Changes need from the org.apache.jmeter.visualizers.backend.influxdb.InfluxdbBackendListenerClient is posted at https://www.diffchecker.com/NZbFVuXT

Thanks

two different types of inputs, to save you from typing:

datadog way:

@GrabConfig(systemClassLoader = true)
@Grab('net.simonix.scripts:groovy-jmeter')

@groovy.transform.BaseScript net.simonix.dsl.jmeter.TestScript script

start {
  plan {

    backend classname: 'rocks.nt.apm.jmeter.JMeterInfluxDBBackendListenerClient' {
      arguments {
        argument(name: 'testName', value: '${c_cfg_TestName}')
        argument(name: 'nodeName', value: '${TestDesc}')
        argument(name: 'runId', value: '${runId}')
        argument(name: 'influxDBHost', value: 'xyz')
        argument(name: 'influxDBPort', value: '8086')
        argument(name: 'influxDBUser', value: 'jmeter')
        argument(name: 'influxDBPassword', value: 'PW')
        argument(name: 'influxDBDatabase', value: 'jmeter')
        argument(name: 'retentionPolicy', value: 'autogen')
        argument(name: 'samplersList', value: 'abc.*')
        argument(name: 'useRegexForSamplerList', value: 'true')
        argument(name: 'recordSubSamples', value: 'recordSubSamples')
       }
    }

    view () // View Result Tree
  }
}

Original way:

start {
  plan {

    backend(name: 'InfluxDb Backend', enabled: true) {
      arguments {
        argument(name: 'influxdbMetricsSender', value: 'rocks.nt.apm.jmeter.JMeterInfluxDBBackendListenerClient')
        argument(name: 'testName', value: '${c_cfg_TestName}')
        argument(name: 'nodeName', value: '${TestDesc}')
        argument(name: 'runId', value: '${runId}')
        argument(name: 'influxDBHost', value: 'xyz')
        argument(name: 'influxDBPort', value: '8086')
        argument(name: 'influxDBUser', value: 'jmeter')
        argument(name: 'influxDBPassword', value: 'PW')
        argument(name: 'influxDBDatabase', value: 'jmeter')
        argument(name: 'retentionPolicy', value: 'autogen')
        argument(name: 'samplersList', value: 'abc.*')
        argument(name: 'useRegexForSamplerList', value: 'true')
        argument(name: 'recordSubSamples', value: 'recordSubSamples')
       }
    }

    view () // View Result Tree
  }
}

Sure, I will look into this.

Hi, I think your original script had one error. It was missing comma after classname: 'rocks.nt.apm.jmeter.JMeterInfluxDBBackendListenerClient'. Below you can find the correct version.

Please, remember that when you execute the script you need to add the plugin jar to the classpath e.g.

groovy -cp JMeter-InfluxDB-Writer-plugin-1.2.jar script.groovy

Remember to add any parameters required by the script at the end of the command line.

@GrabConfig(systemClassLoader = true)
@Grab('net.simonix.scripts:groovy-jmeter')

@groovy.transform.BaseScript net.simonix.dsl.jmeter.TestScript script

start {
  plan {

    backend classname: 'rocks.nt.apm.jmeter.JMeterInfluxDBBackendListenerClient', {
      arguments {
        argument(name: 'testName', value: '${c_cfg_TestName}')
        argument(name: 'nodeName', value: '${TestDesc}')
        argument(name: 'runId', value: '${runId}')
        argument(name: 'influxDBHost', value: 'xyz')
        argument(name: 'influxDBPort', value: '8086')
        argument(name: 'influxDBUser', value: 'jmeter')
        argument(name: 'influxDBPassword', value: 'PW')
        argument(name: 'influxDBDatabase', value: 'jmeter')
        argument(name: 'retentionPolicy', value: 'autogen')
        argument(name: 'samplersList', value: 'abc.*')
        argument(name: 'useRegexForSamplerList', value: 'true')
        argument(name: 'recordSubSamples', value: 'recordSubSamples')
       }
    }

    view () // View Result Tree
  }
}

Ah. THX! I got it working per your instructions. Thanks!

Just to be 100% clear, it is necessary when executing the script, but unnecessary when generating the .jmx script file.
