How to get data from JMeter to influxDB with backend listener?

Question

I'm working with JMeter 2.13 and influxDB 0.8.8 and trying to get JMeter data to influxDB by using backend listener.

First of all i installed influxDB, changed its configuration for JMeter and run it successfully. Also i added new databases and post some data to it.

my influxDB configuration

i added databases and one of them name is jmeter. It should hold JMeter result data

Finally i create thread group in JMeter. That gorup has one sampler with name TNX01 and backend listener with below properties.

When i run JMeter i expect that JMeter sends data to influxDB by backend listener and i can see them in influxDB ui; however, nothing happened..

What did i miss, that JMeter result are not seen at influxDB? Thank you for help :)

Answer 1

I think the problem is in the influxdb.conf file. Find the graphite section and uncomment the following lines and add the database line. It works for influxdb 0.9.3

[[graphite]]
   enabled = true
   bind-address = ":2003"
   protocol = "tcp"
   database = "jmeter"
   consistency-level = "one"
   name-separator = "."

Answer 2

Update the config file as given below

Make sure that influxdb reads the config file you updated.

I am able to send the data using backend listener to influxdb & use grafana for charts.
