 Main features of JAnalyser includes
 Detailed analysis of Jmeter results
 Supports Jmeter results in both XML/CSV format
 Supports User custom CSV results for analysis
 Supports native logs generated by external tools
 Ability generate HTML and PDF Reports

And many more..

2. What do you need to use JAnalyser (Prerequisite)
Download “Jmeter.properties” file available on JAnalyser under download menu and replace it to your local
version of jmeter.properties file located in Jmeter installed directory/bin folder.Compress each Jmeter log,
Jmeter Test run results and Custom log file separately in a zip (only) format. As best practice, name it as
appropriate as possible.
Example
Jmeter Log file = your_Jmeter_log.log.zip
Jmeter Test result File = your_jmeter_results_in_xml.xml.zip or your_jmeter_results_in_csv.csv.zip
Custom Log Files = Your_WebServer_NXQA001.zip , you_APPServer_NXQA002.zip
Supported browsers: Firefox / Chrome / Safari.
Limited support on Internet Explorer.
Login
Now you are ready to analyse your results using JAnalyser.
Login in to JAnalyser – https://janalyser.com
Enter your username and password
Create New Project
Project is a workspace for all the activities performed in JAnalyser. Clicking on +Project button (see below)
will enable a form where user can create a new Project
Enter New Project Name and Click on Save button.
Newly created project is immediately listed on the same screen.
Click on the Project that you created to open Project workspace.
The selected project opens with a Project Overview page and project name appears on the top right corner of
the page.

3. Any time you can navigate to Project Overview Page by clicking on Home link under Project Menu.
Now you have successfully created New Project.
Proceed to Testrun creation
Create New Test runs
A new Testrun has to be created for each Test type (example Shakedown, Load, Stress) executed in Jmeter.
Each Testrun holds the analysis of corresponding test type.
Click on ‘Test Runs’ under Test Runs Menu to open a Testrun workspace of the project.
Clicking on +Testrun button (see below) will enable a form where user can create a new Testrun.
Enter Short Name for Testrun and Click on Save button.
Newly created Testrun immediately is listed in the same page.
#Logs shows numbers of log files user has uploaded.
Click on created Testrun to proceed for Analysis.
Upload files
When a new Testrun is created, the status of Analysis will be ‘Pending’.
Click on Results Logs tab to upload your Jmeter/Custom related Result files.
Click on +Upload to upload logs and test result files.
This is the most important step to be noted when uploading your log and result files.
Multiple types of Log/results files can be uploaded to JAnalyser. Each file should be zipped separately. Size of
the file after zip cannot be more than specified on instruction on Upload screen. Please read instructions
carefully before uploading.
Jmeter-Log
Jmeter generates a log file when user starts the test execution. This log file is entirely different from the Jmeter
test results file (XML/CSV). Default location of jmeter.log is in the bin directory of Jmeter. Please read best
practices section for more details.
This file is not mandatory, however if uploaded JAnalyser gives you good details about Test Environment.
Jmeter-XML
This is the result file created during the Testrun by Jmeter. Depend on the Jmeter.properties configuration;
results can be saved as XML. If the result file is in XML format, select Jmeter-XML in dropdown during
upload.
This file is mandatory, if csv is not available.
Jmeter-CSV

4. Result file created during the Testrun by Jmeter. Depend on the Jmeter.properties configuration; results can be
saved as CSV. If the result file is in CSV format, select Jmeter-CSV in dropdown during upload.
Note: JAnlayser will not process CSV result file without the header. This should be comma separated only
and timestamp should be Unix timestamp in the first column.
Download Jmeter.properties files from JAnalyser login screen to avoid issues.
This file is mandatory, if xml is not available.
Others
JAnalyser now supports external logs generated by tools like Windows Perfmon, Linux dstat etc along
with Custom-CSV files.
Please read best practices section to learn more about Windows Perfmon and Linux dstat logs.
Custom-CSV are special kind of file, which user can create manually or using other tools. This type of file can
be used for generating custom graphs for counters like CPU, MEMORY, DISK IO etc.
Custom Csv file should be comma separated and first column should be in supported datetime format. Please
visit JAnalyser upload screen to see supported datetime formats.
Please read Section “How to create Custom CSV Files”.
Enter Short Name for the File.
This will help you to identify the file in future. Auto generated text is used if no name is entered. Make sure
that you have entered different names for each upload when uploading files of catogary ‘Others’. File names
are used in custom graphs. Duplicate names may cause some confustion during Analysis.
Select appropriate time zone where test results are captured.
The uploaded files appear in the same screen with status pending in yellow colour.
Once file upload is completed, now Testrun is ready for analysis.
Important Notes:
 Only zip compression is supported
 Extention should be .zip
 File size should not be greater than mentioned in the upload screen
Run Analysis

5. Click on Details tab in Testrun screen and Click ‘Analyse Results’ button.
This will submit your request for Analysis. Depending on the Queue length, your results will be processed.
(Note: You can enable email notification in Administration screen to receive email notification when analysis
completed)
Once analysis is completed successfully, the analysis status will be changed to ‘Ready’. If analysis fails
corresponding error message will be displayed.
When Testrun job completed successfully, you should see all uploaded log file status as Ready. Any failure in
the Analysis, results Upload file status to know failure message with red colour
User can add/remove logs anytime and submit for Result Analysis.
Analysis
Once the job completed successfully, you can find summary report in Details page.
Note: Test Environment information will be available only when Jmeter-Log is uploaded.
Click on ‘Show Analysis’ button for detailed analysis of your test results. This will open Analysis window as
pop-up in full screen.
Expand Jmeter tree on left side to see the list of Available charts. Double click on any chart (Example: Avg
Response time) to open corresponding graph.

6. Only five series will be displayed by default. Users can select/Unselect-required series.
User can select range of time by dragging the mouse. Click on Reset button to show default data.
Share Analysis
Users can share their test analysis with in the tool. User should know the username of requested party to be

Enter username in search text box and click on Search button.
When user found with full name, click on Share button
Shared Analysis can be removed any time by clicking on the Remove button
Reports
Html report can be downloaded from Testrun main screen by clicking on Download Html Report.
Note: HTML report is available only for successful Testrun analysis.
Best Practices
How to run Jmeter tests
It is always advisable to run the test in non-gui mode.
It is also recommended to collect the Jmeter test results in a CSV file format. However, JAnalyser tool will
supports both XML/CSV formats.
Example command to run in non-gui mode.
C:/jmeter29/bin/jmeter -n -t C:/temp/project/sugarcrm/scripts/SugarCrm_Shakedown_V01.jmx -j
C:/temp/project/sugarcrm/results/SugarCrm_Shakedown_V01_Australia.log -l
C:/temp/project/sugarcrm/results/SugarCrm_Shakedown_V01_Australia.csv
Output of the above command is
SugarCrm_Shakedown_V01_Australia.log – This is Jmeter tool log file (Also referred as Jmeter-Log)
SugarCrm_Shakedown_V01_Australia.csv – Testrun results file in CSV Format (Also referred as Jmeter-
CSV)
Correct File types has to be selected when uploading files to JAnalyser
How to prepare Jmeter Test plan

7. While creating Jmeter Test plan, make sure that each user action is under Transaction controller. This will
enable JAnalyser to show breakdown on each transaction.
Jmeter.properties file
You can download Jmeter.properties file from JAnalyser login screen. This properties file will enables more
parameters (like hostname, active threads etc) for better analysis
It also enables header section for CSV file.
Note: JAnlayser will not process CSV result files without header.
