Create a custom backend listener for jmeter for sending test variables and other data to Influxdb

I have a requirement to send custom parameters, variables and properties to InfluxDB as a part of my Jmeter tests so that we can analyze test data based on the functionality of the application. As of now I can use backend listener for influxdb but it only has limited fields which would not be helpful in my case since I want to send more relevant data based on the application functionality. Can someone point/help with right resources to develop a custom backend listener to send custom data to InfluxDB from jmeter and not depend on the existing listener. I want a flexible option to send data as per our application and not restrict to only fields in listener.

Currently I am using a View Results in table to save this custom data to CSV files. The sample is shown in below snapshot. enter image description here

To do this I have modified our user.properties files and specify the sample_variables, like below: sample_variables=employee_code,user_id,transName,transType,transVer,deptID,deptType,deptName

But instead of using an additional listener, I would like to send these variables for EACH HIT (for every sample) to the influxDB. How do I achieve it? Any further help would be appreciated.

The easiest option is just using normal HTTP Request sampler to send the metrics you want via InfluxDB API.

If you still want to implement a custom listener you can first of all take a look at the existing Backend Listener code

Then get familiarized with the following materials:

and maybe see a reference project like jmeter-backend-azure
