Can AppDynamics be integrated with JMeter?

[CommunityUser]

Hi,

Please let me know whether AppDynamics can be integrated with JMeter. If yes, please provide me with some resources to accomplish the same.

Thank you,

Muthu.

Looking into BlazeMeter and AppDynamics Team Up to Solve Digital Application Performance Challenges the integration is possible, at least it is already set up for BlazeMeter users

Find in attached file a document which explains JMeter integration with AppDynamics:

1. Offer a correlated view between JMeter measurements (HTT Request) and AppDynamics measurements (Business Transaction)
   • JMeter simulates end-user activity by launching thread group and by executing HTTP request. AppDynamics retrieves dynamically the name of JMeter HTTP request and stores the metrics in an AppDynamics Business Transaction (BT)
2. Create a custom time range in AppDynamics in relation with the duration of JMeter execution; and compare easily two JMeter executions or analyze specifically the result of one JMeter execution
3. Retrieve the JMeter Thread name within the AppDynamics snapshot (i.e. capture request details and give visibility to call graph which reflects the code-level view); and diagnose easily why JMeter Thread fails

Hi,

Thanks for writing in. We see that we do not support jmeter out-of-box, However you can monitor JVM heap stats usage by starting jmeter as follows:
shell> cd <jmeterdir>/bin
shell> java -javaagent:"<agent-install-dir>/javaagent.jar" -jar ApacheJMeter.jar

Let us know if that helps, Also can you please eloborate what you want to monitor in jmeter using appserver agent, can you eloborate on the metrics you want monitor on jmeter?

Thanks,

Arun
