Blazemeter: How to read error JTL file of Blazemeter?


I want to read the error.jtl file which we get from Blazemeter Logs (File name- Artifacts). I am currently using Excel to read the file. Is there any other way, I can view this JTL file, in the same manner, we see the JMeter results jtl file(to HTML Report)?


Solution

  • error.jtl is a JMeter-specific file which is generated by Taurus framework, it contains request and response data for the samplers which have failed during the test execution.

    I don't know what do you mean by "read", the file is normal XML file so you can use any text or XML viewer/editor to inspect it.

    Also as per How to Capture Response Data from a JMeter JTL File (NTC) article:

    Unzip artifacts.zip and open the trace.jtl / error.jtl in JMeter's View Results Tree Listener. The samplers are listed. When selected, the response data can be examined.

    so you can open it in View Results Tree or any other Listener of your choice.

    You cannot generate HTML Reporting Dashboard from the .jtl file in XML format, however you can use i.e. Filter Results Tool to extract only failing sample results from the kpi.jtl file and generate the dashboard out of it.
