Dynatrace and JMeter integration

Performance Testing (JMeter with Dynatrace)

            



While executing a load test in Apache JMeter, each simulated HTTP request can be tagged in JMeter with additional HTTP Headers that contain test-transaction information (for example, script name, test step name and virtual user ID). Dynatrace can analyze incoming HTTP headers and extract such contextual information from the header values and "tag" the captured requests. Having a tag on a request allows you to analyze requests with specific tags. For example, you can analyze all requests that come in from script Scenario1 and test step Put Item into Cart.

To integrate Dynatrace with JMeter:

  1. Within JMeter, use the HTTP Header Manager to add custom HTTP request headers. You can use any custom HTTP headers to pass context information. In this example, we use the header x-dynatrace-test and the set of key/value LSN=Scenario1;TSN=Put Item into Cart; for the header value. See Dynatrace and load testing tools integration for more details on the recommended key/value pairs.


  1. In Dynatrace, configure the extraction rules for the custom HTTP Headers via Settings > Server-side service monitoring > Request attributes.

  2. Select HTTP request header as the Request attribute source and enter the name of your custom HTTP header in the Parameter name field. Extraction of data from a concatenated string (like LSN=Scenario1;TSN=Put Item into Cart;) can also be configured as shown below.



  1. Run your load test from JMeter. The requests and distributed traces will be tagged in Dynatrace with the configured request attributes for targeted diagnostics and analysis.

  Selecting the Protocol in Script Editor:  Method 1: Using web_custom_request function and a .json file. Create a Web - HTTP/HTML script and insert web_custom_request function. Enter the Step Name, Method(POST), URL of your REST API, Record Mode(HTTP), Encoding Type(application/json). Create a ‘sample.json’ file under Extra Files. Place the JSON message in the sample.json file you created in previous step. In web_custom_request part, remove the line “Body” and add a new line BodyFileLocation. And the line should look like this after the change "BodyFileLocation=sample.json". Some Sites requires user authentication to access the content. In that case you may have to use user credentials along with your request. Use  web_set_user  to pass the user credentials. If you need to pass any headers into the script, you can do so by using  web_add_header  function. After following above steps, you should be able to run your script successfully. This method can be used when you have a

JMeter Integration with AppDynamics

         JMeter With AppDynamics          JMeter integration with AppDymanics provides a complete solution for the Performance Testing and Monitoring of the server resources. The benefits of JMeter and AppDynamics integration include the mapping between JMeter requests and AppDynamics Business Transactions. However, JMeter simulates end-user activity by launching a thread group and executing an HTTP request. AppDynamics fetches the name of the JMeter HTTP request stores the metrics in an AppDynamics business transaction and provides the result. Steps for JMeter Integration with AppDynamics: JMeter Set-up: Step 1:  Launch JMeter, record the user flow and complete the test script by applying appropriate correlation, parametrization etc. In the case of web services, add the services to the JMeter test plan and complete the script. Step 2:  Right-click on the Test Plan element then click to Add -> Config Element ->HTTP Header Manager. This HTTP Header Manager will act as a global el
