I am running JMeter from my local system and as per the instruction, I have passed the instrumentation key in backend listener. There is no error logged in log file but still i am not able to get the report in Application Insight.
Please tell me is there any rules or setting that I need to do on creating Application Insight instance.

Hi Team,
We are trying to use azure china appinsights for the jmeter backend listeners to have a dashboard to appinsights.

we are facing issue that it cannot reached out the appinsights even though we have given the correct instrumentation key

Can we have a enhansement for this to work on this issue i found a nice document over here from microsoft

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/microsoft.applicationinsights.extensibility.telemetryconfiguration.-ctor?view=azure-dotnet#Microsoft_ApplicationInsights_Extensibility_TelemetryConfiguration__ctor_System_String_Microsoft_ApplicationInsights_Channel_ITelemetryChannel_

Thanks,
Venkatesh.K

Instrumentation key is set and verified, getting the same error for both liveMetrics flag set to either true or false. Can you please quickly check if the plug-in works fine on JMeter 5.2.1 or any additional dependencies required.

Hi,

Is there a way to set the ParentOperationId in Application Insights ? Then requests will be grouped by transaction and this will enable troubleshoot a specific failing transaction. That would be a nice addition to this great extension.

Hi!, very very good job. I want to add extra data, for example, environment (UAT, Production, etc) or others data. Its possible to add new field, for example, json field, to create other dimension in log, with my custom data?

We want to add this jar as a project dependency to automate the addition of azure backend listener in a provided JMeter test plan (.jmx file). It would be good to have it hosted in a central repository.

I have multiple 'Thread Group'(s) in my Test Plan. But the plugin is pushing data to AppInsights only for first Thread Group.

If samplers/transaction controllers are labelled using nordic characters (e.g. the danish characters; æøå), these characters are shown as �'s in AppInsights.
I am unsure if this is caused by the uploaded data, or that AppInsights just can't show these characters properly.

I also tested the testName parameter, which has the same issue.

For every request, testName is displayed as an operation name in Azure app insights, so jmeter is the name for all HTTP requests.
As a user, I wanted to see the HTTP request name as the operation name so I could understand how many requests were sent for one operation and get the total count of each HTTP request.

Can you add an option to send sampler data and it's response details to Azure app insights only in the event of failures ? I don't want to send all response data as it will flood so much traffic to azure app insights

I would like to request a configuration option to enable/disable the plugin.

The enabled allows to disable this plugin from outside without changing the jmeter script itself by passing the parameter.

I have defined a user-defined variable as below:

And using it to setup the backend listener,

I then started jmeter with

jmeter -t CosmosLoadTestWithAppInsightIntegration.jmx -Ljmeter.engine=DEBUG -JAPPINSIGHTS_INSTRUMENTATION_KEY="4xxxxx......"

The user-defined value is evaluated correctly and I can see it in the jmeter logs.

Sending properties {APPINSIGHTS_INSTRUMENTATION_KEY=4xxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxx, ...}

But, when the Backend Listener is started, the value is never getting replaced.

HI!

This plugin has been very useful for propogating logs to my AI instance. There is one hiccup that I have run into, and that getResponseDataAsString() is returning null when there is no response returned. logResponseData is set to always but there are instances when a response is not returned..

Here is a sample stack trace showcasing the issue:

2024-01-03 21:29:18,296 ERROR o.a.j.JMeter: Uncaught exception in thread Thread[Thread-4,5,main]
java.lang.NullPointerException: Cannot invoke "String.length()" because the return value of "org.apache.jmeter.samplers.SampleResult.getResponseDataAsString()" is null

Thank you!

At the moment, the backend listener sends metric data to Application Insights for storage and subsequent analysis and visualization. However, metrics become available with a few minutes delay and, therefore, one cannot see the test performance in real time. Application Insights offers the Live Metrics Stream for this particular purpose. It'd be good to add support for Live Metrics Stream to allow users to have this real-time view of their tests performance.

Added the plugin on MacOS Ventura 13.5 to the folder:

/opt/homebrew/Cellar/jmeter/5.6.2/libexec/lib/jmeter.backendlistener.azure-0.2.9.jar

Plugin appears in the Plugin Manager in JMeter after restarting it.

JMeter version is 5.6.2 and was installed using Homebrew on Mac.

Plugin is not available from drop down list when I add the Backend Listener.

is there anyone ever tried using "csv config file" to store "connection string"? I have tried it but always says my connection string invalid. Go further, when I use "User Defined Variables" with the same "connection string", it works well.

as above, I debug out the "user define variables" "appIn1" and "csv config" variables "appIn2", as you can see the are identical

but when I refer "appIn1" in config "backend azure plugin" it works well, but "appIn2" treated as invalid connection string.

I would like to have the option to set Operation Name, or maybe have the Operation name set to the same value as Name. This will make it easier to separate between the different operations.

Currently the Operatons list under Performance/Failures in AI only contains 'ghost' operations.

The dashboard will allow users to quickly import it and see useful test result charts and data. Users can use it as a starting point and edit it further to fit their needs.

Hi, I realized that it is missing the default instrumentation key.

config.setInstrumentationKey(context.getParameter(KEY_INSTRUMENTATION_KEY, DEFAULT_INSTRUMENTATION_KEY));

Hello,

I wanted to know how to pass custom metrics from a service I'm calling in a JSR223 sampler groovy script and pass it to the to the backend listener. The goal would to be able to look up the key/val in app insights like foo: something. Any information or direction would be appreciated. Thank you in advance!
