Hi @nandakumargdg ,

According to your logs, this is an error relating to the Graphite Backend Listener, not the ElasticSearch backend listener

2020-06-02 01:57:01,593 INFO o.a.j.v.b.BackendListener: Backend Listener: Starting worker with class: class org.apache.jmeter.visualizers.backend.graphite.GraphiteBackendListenerClient and queue capacity: 5000

If you want to use the ElasticSearch Backend Listener, you need to install it through the Plugins Manager and change the implementation of your Backend Listener element.

Thanks
