Description sergiy.iampol 2019-05-31 07:00:28 UTC
trying to use BackendListener and observed runtime variables are not written to influxDB.

Properties, on the other hand, can be written to influx.

So I can separate test results by some ID by setting measurement=${__P(SOME_ID)}

What I'm looking for is a splitting results by thread group name, as I may have up to several dozens of them within the same test.

Tried to use following:
TAG_scenarioName=${__threadGroupName}
TAG_someJmeterVar=${SOME_JMETER_VAR}
TAG_someJmeterVarAsGroovy=${__groovy(vars.get("SOME_JMETER_VAR"),)}
eventTags=${__threadGroupName}
testTitle=${__threadGroupName} (this one makes less sense, but still..)

and none of those works

Those are works:
TAG_injectorName=${__machineName()}
TAG_predefinedVar=${USER_DEFINED_VAR} (I believe this is thanks to https://bz.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=57962)

So as I understand problem is with runtime variables only. Is it possible to make runtime variables accessible for the BackendListener? Or maybe there is some workaround for such case?

p.p.s. also tried use a separate BackendListener per each thread group (with TAG_scenarioName=TG_Name_N) but seems like only one BackendListener can be used within one testplan.
