Add avg metric and regex for samplersList.

Hi, 

I use the backendlistner to send metric on InfluxDB. So far, I didn't understand how i could find the average response time from current metric. Only min max, but no way to calculate average. 

So, I made this patch to send new metric to influxdb. 

I've made also a modification, to change the behaviour of the samplersList. I think it's better and more power to use a regex to select which sampler you want.

Hello,
Thanks for contribution.
Avg metric has no real value in Load Testing so I don't think it should be added.
Regarding the switch to regexp, it seems a good idea but introduces a backward incompatibility.

What do other team members think ?

Philippe

I'm working on a PTO team (Permit To Operate) and made dozen of test by week. All projects need to known the average response time of each transaction.
I use influxdb / grafana for create report, and I really need to know the average response time of each transaction...

Why don't you use percentiles ?:

Comment 4 mchassagneux 2016-01-18 10:12:51 UTC 
I also use percentiles, but all the datas feedback system we use (like introscope etc..) only use avg metric. So in term of comparaison between acceptance environnement and production I only use avg metric. 

Furthermore, in term of communication report, for most of users, the avg metric is more significant than percentile.

Hello,
Avg is a misleading and meaningless metric so I am not keen on having it by default.

If team agrees, a possible option would be to enable it by an additional property. 
Can you open discussion on dev mailing list, and if ok for others and if you provide a patch for this , we could integrated it.

Regards
Philippe

Hi,

I think to have the possibility to use a list or regexp to select which sampler we want to have in InfluxDB is very great

Renaming issue to only keep the possibility to use a Regex instead of a list
