Jmeter – Run .jmx file through command line and get the summary report in a excel

commandjmeter

I am new to jmeter. I have the .jmx file containg all the required http samplers. I could run it throught the Jmeter UI using "Run-> Start" and view the result in the "Summary Report". I can then save the results to the .csv using "Save Table Data" button in "Summary Report".

Question is how can I achieve the same using command line.

JMeter can be launched in non-GUI mode as follows:

jmeter -n -t /path/to/your/test.jmx -l /path/to/results/file.jtl

You can set what would you like to see in result jtl file via playing with JMeter Properties.

See jmeter.properties file under /bin folder of your JMeter installation and look for those starting with 

jmeter.save.saveservice.

Defaults are listed below:

#jmeter.save.saveservice.output_format=csv
#jmeter.save.saveservice.assertion_results_failure_message=false
#jmeter.save.saveservice.assertion_results=none
#jmeter.save.saveservice.data_type=true
#jmeter.save.saveservice.label=true
#jmeter.save.saveservice.response_code=true
#jmeter.save.saveservice.response_data=false
#jmeter.save.saveservice.response_data.on_error=false
#jmeter.save.saveservice.response_message=true
#jmeter.save.saveservice.successful=true
#jmeter.save.saveservice.thread_name=true
#jmeter.save.saveservice.time=true
#jmeter.save.saveservice.subresults=true
#jmeter.save.saveservice.assertions=true
#jmeter.save.saveservice.latency=true
#jmeter.save.saveservice.samplerData=false
#jmeter.save.saveservice.responseHeaders=false
#jmeter.save.saveservice.requestHeaders=false
#jmeter.save.saveservice.encoding=false
#jmeter.save.saveservice.bytes=true
#jmeter.save.saveservice.url=false
#jmeter.save.saveservice.filename=false
#jmeter.save.saveservice.hostname=false
#jmeter.save.saveservice.thread_counts=false
#jmeter.save.saveservice.sample_count=false
#jmeter.save.saveservice.idle_time=false
#jmeter.save.saveservice.timestamp_format=ms
#jmeter.save.saveservice.timestamp_format=yyyy/MM/dd HH:mm:ss.SSS
#jmeter.save.saveservice.default_delimiter=,
#jmeter.save.saveservice.default_delimiter=\t
#jmeter.save.saveservice.print_field_names=false
#jmeter.save.saveservice.xml_pi=<?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="../extras/jmeter-results-detail-report_21.xsl"?>
#jmeter.save.saveservice.base_prefix=~/
#jmeter.save.saveservice.autoflush=false

Uncomment the one you are interested in and set it's value to change the default. Another option is override property in user.properties file or provide it as a command-line argument using -J key as follows:

jmeter -Jjmeter.save.saveservice.print_field_names=true -n /path/to/your/test.jmx -l /path/to/results/file.jtl

See Apache JMeter Properties Customization Guide for more details on what can be done using JMeter Properties.
