JMeter

JMeter, officially known as Apache JMeter, is a widely-used open-source software designed for performance testing and measuring the effectiveness of various services, with a focus on web applications. It is renowned for its ability to simulate heavy loads on servers, networks, or objects to test their strength and analyze overall performance under different conditions.

JMeter is versatile, supporting a wide range of protocols and applications, making it suitable for testing web applications, SOAP/REST web services, FTP, databases, and more. Its user-friendly interface and extensive plugin ecosystem allow for easy creation and customization of test plans, enabling users to simulate complex scenarios and workflows.

Integrating JMeter with groundcover

To start accessing granular insights, just follow these 2 super easy steps:

Step 1: Enable Custom Metrics

Follow our quick guide on how to enable scraping custom metrics on groundcover.

Step 2: Import dashboard using Grafana ID

In the groundcover platform, go to Dashboards -> New -> Import.

In the box titled "Import via grafana.com", enter one of the following dashboard IDs, then click "Load".

ID	Name	Description	More Info
5496	Apache JMeter Dashboard using Core InfluxdbBackendListenerClient	A dashboard for visualizing results from the k6.io load testing tool, using the InfluxDB exporter	Link
1152	JMeter Load Test	A dashboard for visualizing results from the k6.io load testing tool, using the InfluxDB exporter.	Link
4026	JMeter Dashboard	Visualize k6 OSS results stored in Prometheus with Native Histograms.	Link
13644	JMeter Load Test (org.md.jmeter.influxdb2.visualizer) - influxdb v2.0 (Flux)	A dashboard for visualizing results from the k6.io load testing tool by groups, using the InfluxDB exporter.	Link
2492	JMeter (via prometheus exporter)	A dashboard for visualizing results from the k6.io load testing tool, using the InfluxDB exporter.	Link

Note: The dashboards above are the 5 most downloaded JMeter dashboards on Grafana's website, and are listed by number of downloads. More dashboards are available on their website and the steps to add them is the same. Visit this page for the full list of JMeter dashboards.

That's it!

You can now see the imported dashboard in your list of Dashboards and start using it immediately.

You can repeat this action to load as many of these dashboards as you like.

If you import more than one of these dashboards, you may find it useful to create a JMeter Dashboards Folder in groundcover.
