Apache JMeter: How to create summary Report from jtl or csv file created by JMeter when executed from command line

Mostly you will need to execute jmeter in non-gui mode because of following two reasons:

1. To automate execution of jmeter.
2. To perform more number of operations per second: In non-gui mode, jmeter threads do not need to print data on jmeter gui.

After executing JMeter from command line, Jmeter will create a result file with extension as jtl or csv which will contain results from all operations performed by JMeter. A sample for this files is given below:

1401098796403,149,Bind,0,Success,Bind once Search - Unsecure 3-17,text,true,247,0
1401098796403,210,Bind,0,Success,Bind once Search - Unsecure 3-16,text,true,248,0
1401098796448,166,Bind,0,Success,AMD - Unsecure 1-10,text,true,249,0
1401098796514,100,Bind,0,Success,AMD - Unsecure 1-12,text,true,250,0
1401098796538,83,Bind,0,Success,Bind once Search - Unsecure 3-24,text,true,246,0
1401098796417,205,Bind,0,Success,Bind once Search - Unsecure 3-9,text,true,252,0
1401098796490,131,Bind,0,Success,AMD - Unsecure 1-11,text,true,250,0
1401098796403,223,Bind,0,Success,Bind once Search - Unsecure 3-11,text,true,250,0

But mostly, you will need a .csv result file which will look like summary report of JMeter and will provide information like total operations of different types, error %age etc. This csv can be opened with openoffice calc, Excel with seperation as comma.

To Create this summary report, you need a jmeter plugin.

So, by now you have installed the jmeter plugins required. This jmeter plugin will create required script JMeterPluginsCMD.bat in <jmeter_loc>/lib/ext/.

 Executing JMeterPluginsCMD.bat:

JMeterPluginsCMD.bat --generate-csv <summary report with path> --input-jtl <jmeter result file created> --plugin-type AggregateReport
