JMeter InfluxDB Grafana Docker container

This container setup allows you to immediately synchronize JMeter results with InfluxDB and visualize what is happening in real time.

Prerequisites

Please make sure both docker and docker-compose are installed.

Build JMeter docker image

docker build -t jmeter jmeter-docker

Start InfluxDB and Grafana

docker-compose up -d

Adjust JMeter script

Define 2 variables on the Test Plan component.

Name	Value
CLIENTNAME	Example
STARTDATETIME	${__time(yy-MM-dd-HH:mm:ss:SSS)}

Add & configure the Backend Listener in Jmeter.

Name	Value
influxdbMetricsSender	org.apache.jmeter.visualizers.backend.influxdb.HttpMetricsSender
influxdbUrl	http://${__P(INFLUXDB_HOST, localhost)}:8086/write?db=jmeter_results
application	${CLIENTNAME}_${STARTDATETIME}
measurement	jmeter
summaryOnly	false
samplersRegex	.*
percentiles	90;95;99
testTitle	Test name
eventTags

Run JMeter script

./run-specific-jmeter-script.sh example.jmx

Filter the correct testrun in Grafana

It is the concatenation of CLIENTNAME and STARTDATETIME.
