InfluxDB is a time-series db (a light-weight db used to store time dependant data such as a Performance Test).

Using InfluxDB along with Grafana you can monitor certain test metrics live during a JMeter test and can also configure other system metrics to be collected and monitored (cpu/network/memory).

To store data into InfluxDB, you need to configure the Graphite configuration within JMeter (see Real-Time results). Then you can add a Backend listener to throw this into the DB.

For InfluxDB installation on Windows read this answer.

As for the Dashboard, I guess you need to use Grafana to see the expected test live metrics in a graphical format.

  • You can also use Chronograf from InfluxData. It's free and also allows you to do some basic administration of InfluxDB. – Davidgs Nov 16 '18 at 13:48
