Overriding script variables from the CLI

There are a few different ways to override variables in your JMeter script with environment or run specific values.

On the command-line, you can pass in a property override with this format -J[prop_name]=[value]

jmeter -Jthreads=10 -n -t ./my-test.jmx -l my-test-log.jtl -o my-test-output.csv

You can also create a property file with a bunch of properties to override.

Generate aggregates

JMeter can generate a report that creates an aggregated view for each uniquely named thread in your test. It contains things like number of requests, total time, average time.

• Find apache-jmeter-5.1.1/bin/PluginsManagerCMD.sh on the filesystem
• Install command-line graph plotting tool plugin (you can download the .jar or install it through the plugin manager)

PluginsManagerCMD.sh --tool Reporter --generate-csv my-test-aggregate-report.csv --input-jtl my-test-log.jtl --plugin-type AggregateReport
