JMeter and Sitescope Monitors - Is it possible to pass metrics to SiteScope so an application can be monitored in real time?

Question

We are setting up SiteScope application monitoring and are currently using out of the box standard port, URL and Service types of monitoring.

However, for some applications there is a requirement to know the application response time for certain user actions. The only option that is available, and currently working, are a series of 6 JMeter scripts which are part of the current performance test suite.

Is it possible to monitor the JMeter response times via SiteScope monitoring. Unfortunately, and why my problem arises, is that no changes can be made to the application, and no additional software packages can be installed, so ideally it needs to be pure JMeter > SiteScope solution.

Answer 1

It sounds like you need a Custom Monitor configured to read data from

• either JMeter .jtl results file - Custom Log File Monitor
• or from InfluxDB (JMeter can be configured to send its metrics to InfluxDB using Backend Listener) - Custom Database Monitor
