Grafana Dashboards (using InfluxDB)
Grafana display test statistics during test execution. This makes test analysis more dynamic and provides early feedback to the user.

Typically, Apache Jmeter writes the test statistics out to flat files. Post test execution a HTML report can be generated to analyse the test run. Using Influxdb and Grafana enables you to view the test statistics while the test is in-flight.
The dashboard used in this sample can be found on their template hub and provides a rapid way to display a variety of Jmeter measures. In this example Rancher OS was running two docker containers one for Influxdb and the one for Grafana. A Jmeter backend listener was used to send the test measurements to the Influxdb database.
