What’s new for October 2023? 

[Performance] New Dynatrace integration

Dynatrace is an Application Performance Monitoring (APM) tool designed for analyzing the performance of application servers, database servers, and web services.

Because Dynatrace has deprecated their v1 APIs with Dynatrace version 1.243, and replaced it with v2 APIs, we have created a new Dynatrace integration to accomodate this change.

BlazeMeter now includes two versions of the Dynatrace APM integration:

 

 

  • If you are using a Dynatrace version that is 1.243 or higher, use the Dynatrace APM integration. 

  •  If you are using a Dynatrace version that is lower than 1.243, use the Dynatrace APM – deprecated integration. 

[Mock Services]: Reordering of processing actions 

After creating multiple processing actions, when the user decides to reorder them which means to change the order in which those processing actions are called can now be done. A simple intuitive way by which the processing actions can be reordered by simple drag and drop action. This enables customers to reorder the processing actions and decide the order in which those processing actions are called.   

[Mock Services]: Analytics updates 

Request and response body are now clearly shown in the Analytics view for each Mock Service. This is true for all the processing actions as well which enables the customers to see what requests were made and what responses were received as a part of not only the transaction but also the processing actions. Another change made is to also show the time at the seconds level as well. This is particularly helpful when a series of processing calls are made one after the other and this enables customers to know what calls were made and at what time. 

[Mock Services]: Import/Export Services enhancements 

When importing an already exported Service, all the transactions within the Service(s) including all the processing actions are imported as well. We recommend our customers to export (backup) their Services periodically. In the scenario that a single Service or multiple Services are accidently deleted, the exported backup can be used to import the lost transactions. 

[Auto Correlation Recorder]:  Upload Correlation Rule Templates Directly from JMeter to BlazeMeter 

Saving time just got easier! With the latest ACR plugin, you can now upload correlation rule templates directly to BlazeMeter with one click. No more saving locally and uploading separately. 

This enhancement streamlines the correlation template workflow allowing you to go from JMeter to BlazeMeter in seconds. Now you can focus on creating templates rather than hassling with a multi-step process. 

Say goodbye to the two-step upload grind. This new seamless experience lets you instantly access your templates across JMeter and BlazeMeter. Spend less time managing templates and more time innovating your tests.
