Exclude child request of a transaction controller in aggregate report in JMeter

Question

Have two question,

1. While executing the following command,

./JMeterPluginsCMD.sh --generate-csv C:\JMeterTool\Report\reportNEW.csv --input-jtl C:\JMeterTool\Report\Report.jtl --plugin-type AggregateReport

And Error I was getting,

  ERROR: java.lang.RuntimeException: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: kg.apc.jmeter.vizualizers.AggregateReportGui
*** Problem's technical details go below ***
Home directory was detected as: C:\JMeterTool\apache-jmeter-5.3\lib

I resolved this by installing Synthesis Report, building an automation system so to handle this exception want to install it via script. Is it PluginManager.cmd install Synthesis Report?

2. Now from the CSV report I want to exclude the child element call from the transaction controller, how to do it ?

Sample TestPlan:

Generated Report:

Want only LaunchApplication and BookRoom as get call,get details & fill details are child element of the transaction controller and have checked the generate the parent sample.

3. Also I want to add 70% and 75% line to the report, how to achieve this?

Answer 1

1. You can see what plugins can be installed by running PluginsManagerCMD available command. For the Synthesis Report it would be PluginsManagerCMD jpgc-synthesis=2.2. More information: Plugins Manager from Command-Line

2. It's not right approach because if you exclude them - JMeter won't properly calculate throughput and hits per second metrics. If they appear as separate entries in the report it's better to rename them:

   

   In case you really want to remove them from the results file - add jmeter.save.saveservice.subresults=false to user.properties file (lives in "bin" folder of your JMeter installation). More information: Apache JMeter Properties Customization Guide

3. The percentiles are controllable via special JMeter Properties. There are 3 pre-defined percentiles, you cannot "add" anything but you can substitute any of them with your own line, if this is something want to do add the next lines to user.properties file

   aggregate_rpt_pct2=70
   aggregate_rpt_pct3=75
   

   JMeter restart will be required to pick the properties up.

Answer 2

There are 3 question here,

1. Yes, for installing plugin in JMeter through CMDLine is,

   PluginsManagerCMD <command> [<params>] this is basic syntax.

   PluginsManagerCMD jpgc-synthesis for your plugin

   details are here plugin manager document

2. Excluding subresult, you need to exclude the option of save sub result option.

   

3. For including the 70th, 75th percentile, you need to do the following changes, For aggregate report, add the following lines in the jmeter.properties file located in the /bin directory.

   • aggregate_rpt_pct1=70
   • aggregate_rpt_pct2=75
