Can anybody suggest jmeter script recording alternatives other than blazemeter? Blazemeter is not providing necessary data in the recorded script.

You should Definitely take a look at this **ultimate guide** reviewing most [Open-Source Load Testing tools](https://octoperf.com/blog/2017/11/21/open-source-load-testing-tools/) available on the market. – Jerome L Dec 14 '17 at 09:49

Have you considered the most excellent test script creation utility with Octoperf?

First of all JMeter has its own built-in recording mechanism - HTTP(S) Test Script Recorder, given you are trying to capture HTTP or HTTPS traffic it should catch all the requests properly. If it doesn't - raise a ticket in JMeter Issue Tracker.
Reference Material:
- Apache JMeter proxy Step-by-step
- How To Use JMeter To Record Test Scenarios
- Recording HTTPS Traffic with JMeter's Proxy Server
Be aware that not everything can be recorded, i.e. if your application uses WebRTC or WebSockets or relies on custom plugin content like Silverlight or Java - most likely you won't be able to record the "uncommon" or proprietary protocols.

It is not a record alternative, in the sense that it generates your Jmeter requests, but try Fiddler to analyze the traffic and base your script on that.
That is what I mostly use as I don't want to rely on recorders and it takes too much time to rewrite/de-cluther the recorded script in many cases anyway. Also a much better way to see and understand what is actually happening. And useful for different protocols, like Websockets. Just my 2cnts.
