Troubleshoot JMeter problems by downloading Azure Load Testing Preview logs
In this article, you'll learn how to 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 identify both problems in the JMX file and issues that occur during the test execution. For example, the application endpoint might be unavailable, or the JMX file might contain invalid credentials.
