If "Save Idle Time" option is turned on in Sample Result Save Configuration window or jmeter.save.saveservice.idle_time=true and the type of JTL file is CSV then JMeter does not really save IdleTime column except the column name. Here is an example: timeStamp,elapsed,label,responseCode,responseMessage,threadName,dataType,success,bytes,Filename,Latency,Encoding,SampleCount,ErrorCount,Hostname,IdleTime 1346341801444,3654,"""Home"" page",200,OK,Thread Group 1-1,text,true,63111,,1085,utf-8,1,0,hppc 1346341805119,1442,/search;_ylt=A03uoRrUAfZPg18BCCmbvZx4,200,OK,Thread Group 1-1,text,true,19637,,558,UTF-8,1,0,hppc 1346341806562,6405,/search/images;_ylt=A0oG7lg2AvZPowgACQNXNyoA,200,OK,Thread Group 1-1,text,true,21435,,1306,UTF-8,1,0,hppc ... The last column name is IdleTime and the last value of each line is hppc which is a hostname.
