I would like to know if I can get a breakdown of response times in JMeter load tests. E.g. when I use curl I can get the breakdown of each response time by specifying curl format like so,
\n
time_namelookup: %{time_namelookup}\n
time_connect: %{time_connect}\n
time_appconnect: %{time_appconnect}\n
time_pretransfer: %{time_pretransfer}\n
time_redirect: %{time_redirect}\n
time_starttransfer: %{time_starttransfer}\n
----------\n
time_total: %{time_total}\n
\n
and then making the actual curl call like so,
curl -w "@curl-format.txt" "http://some.api/call"
As you can see this gives me the breakdown in terms of time spent doing a DNS Name resolution, connecting with the server, transferring response form server to the client etc.
Is it possible to get something similar in JMeter?
So I have at least found a way to get what I want, partially.
In Jmeter I can collect the Connect time, which is a combination of DNS lookup, handshake & connection.
If someone has a better answer, would be happy to know it.
