Monitor JMeter test results with Datadog

Apache JMeter is an open source tool for load testing Java applications to ensure they can handle sudden spikes in traffic without causing latency. However, parsing outcomes and reading patterns from such tests can be challenging, especially for large organizations that frequently test and deploy new code. Datadog's JMeter integration collects test result metrics in aggregate via a plugin, providing real-time overviews of how new features affect an application's performance under stress. It also ingests individual test results as log events to offer granular insights into each request. The integration allows users to visualize key JMeter test metrics and dive into individual test results with logs, enabling them to identify patterns and trends that occur when their applications are running under stress.
