Troubleshoot JMeter problems by downloading Azure Load Testing Preview logs
Learn how you can download the Azure Load Testing Preview logs in the Azure portal to troubleshoot problems with the Apache JMeter script.
When you run a load test, the Azure Load Testing test engines execute your Apache JMeter test script. The Apache JMeter log can help you to identify problems in the JMX file, as well as issues during the test execution. For example, the application endpoint might be unavailable, or the JMX file might contain invalid credentials.
Important
Azure Load Testing is currently in preview. See the Supplemental Terms of Use for Microsoft Azure Previews for legal terms that apply to Azure features that are in beta, preview, or otherwise not yet released into general availability.
