Guide
Getting started
Your first JMeter analysis in eight steps. Follow the checklist from test run to shareable report.
Step 1
Run your JMeter test and save results
Add a Simple Data Writer or run in CLI mode: jmeter -n -t plan.jmx -l results.jtl. CSV and XML formats both work.
Step 2
Open the JTL Analyzer
Drop your .jtl or .csv file in. On the free tier it's parsed entirely in your browser — nothing is uploaded.
Step 3
Read the summary cards first
Check total samples, error rate, throughput and the 95th percentile to get a quick health verdict.
Step 4
Find the slowest and failing transactions
Use the aggregate table, Slowest Transactions and Passed / Failed tables. Filter labels to focus on what matters.
Step 5
Validate against your SLA targets
Set p95, average and error-rate thresholds. Each transaction gets a PASS or BREACH badge.
Step 6
Inspect the graphs for trends
Response time and throughput over time reveal warm-up issues, gradual degradation and leaks.
Step 7
Compare against a baseline
Load a previous run to see per-transaction deltas and catch regressions after a deploy.
Step 8
Share the results
Copy tables straight into Confluence or Word, or with Pro save the run, export a PDF and generate an AI conclusion.
