Overview

Description

JMeter ElasticSearch Backend Listener is a JMeter plugin enabling you to send test results to an ElasticSearch engine. It is meant as an alternative live-monitoring tool to the built-in "InfluxDB" backend listener of JMeter.

Features

• ElasticSearch low-level REST client
  • Using the low-level client makes the plugin compatible with any ElasticSearch version
• X-Pack Authentication!
  • Just supply your crendentials in the specified fields!
• Bulk requests
  • By making bulk requests, there are practically no impacts on the performance of the tests themselves.
• Filters
  • Only send the samples you want by using Filters! Simply type them as follows in the appropriate field : filter1;filter2;filter3 or sampleLabel_must_contain_this.
• Specific fields ```field1;field2;field3`
