Apache JMeter tool plugin to manage the Elastic Application Performance Monitoring (ELASTIC APM) in JMeter script

GUI interface in the JMeter Tools Menu

This tool is present in the Menu Tools > ELASTIC APM Integration Tool

When you click and the menu line "ELASTIC APM Integration Tool", the tool GUI is display

Parameters

Parameters are :

file_in the JMeter script to read
file_out the file result, if the text field is empty then the file_out is the file name of file_in without the extension with suffix "_modif.jmx"
e.g. file_in = script1.jmx, file_out is empty then file_out will be script1_modif.jmx
action = ADD or REMOVE,
- ADD = Add "User Defined Variables for ELASTIC APM" and add "JSR223 groovy api apm call"
- REMOVE = remove "User Defined Variables for ELASTIC APM" and remove "JSR223 groovy api apm call", the script will be as before action ADD
regex the regular expression matches the "Transaction Controller" label, if the label doesn't match the regular expression then NO "JSR223 groovy api apm" surround the "Transaction Controller"
- default all = .* (this regular expression matches all labels)
- e.g. regex = SC\d+_P.+ matches labels "SC01_P01_LOGIN" or "SC20_P12B_LOGOUT" or SC01_P01_LOGIN|SC02_P02_FIND|SC02_P012_LOGOUT for some Transaction Controllers

Button "MODIFY SCRIPT", this button launch the tool with parameters.

Status, the status line contains the tool status or the tool result.

e.g. : Status Results OK

Tool ELASTIC APM Integration Finished OK, ACTION = ADD, fileOut=C:\Temp\script1_add.jmx
Tool ELASTIC APM Integration Finished OK, ACTION = REMOVE, fileOut=C:\Temp\script1_add_modif.jmx

e.g. : Status Results KO

Tool ELASTIC APM Integration Finished KO, CAN'T READ jmx fileIn = C:\Temp\script1zzzz.jmx
Tool ELASTIC APM Integration Finished KO, exception = java.util.regex.PatternSyntaxException: Unmatched closing ')' near index 1 .*)
Tool ELASTIC APM Integration Finished KO, CAN'T CREATE or jmx file doesn't exist (look in the log file), fileOut = c:\toto (in log file : java.io.FileNotFoundException: c:\toto (Access denied) )
