JMeter Merged result file saving null values for custom variable column

[Poonam Kushwaha]

Hi,

I have added a custom variable to my reports to create custom graph in dashboard report.

But while merging the 2 results using merge plugin, the value of that custom variable column gets saved as null. 

Ex: JTL1, JTL2 have values in 'recordCount' column.

JTL1:

JTL2:

But, the merged file puts 'null' in that column. (Merged through jp@gc Merge Results option)

Where can I configure for these values to be read and saved correctly in merged file.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Poonam

Hi,
The merge tool read only standard columns not custom columns => null values

Do you merge files from 2 load testing results or the result files from 2 JMeter for the SAME load test ?

If it's 2 files from 2 JMeter for the same load test. You don't need to use the merge tool.

You have to concats 2 files in one but you need to remove the first line header.

File1 contains :

header1

line1file1

line2file1

line3file1

File2 contains

header2

line1file2

line2file2

line3file2

line4file2

You have to contact like this :

FileThisAllLines (with only one line header)

header1

line1file1

line2file1

line3file1

line1file2

line2file2

line3file2

line4file2

The merge tool is for 2 to 4 differents load test (not the same date or hour)

Okay. Thanks for your inputs. Appreciate it.

I am trying to merge result files for different load test runs.

I also tried to manually edit the values of custom column but on trying to create the dashboard report from an edited csv file, It gives below error(even though i did not make change in any column header or value of any other column):

File 'test.csv' does not contain the field names header, ensure the jmeter.save.saveservice.* properties are the same as when the CSV file was created or the file may be read incorrectly when generating report

An error occurred: Error while processing samples: Consumer failed with message :Could not parse timeStamp <9.46681E+11>

Please share if any pointers for fixing this issue.

Thanks,

Hi,

If you don't change the first line header, the error is from the timeStamp milli secondes sinces 01 january 1970.
The format is a long e.g : 1652261769722 but in your result file the format is different like 1.65221E+11 a scientific notation

An error occurred: Error while processing samples: Consumer failed with message :Could not parse timeStamp <9.46681E+11>
