Make your jmeter test creation easier with the blazemeter plugin

Jmeter

You can record your jmeter scripts using jmeter, but you have to:

1. setup a proxy.
2. Add certificates in your  browser.  

Blazemeter Plugin

However there is an easier way: use the blazemeter plugin.

Download it here.

You do need to setup an account, but once you do, you can export to a .jmx file.  Then once you import the file into jmeter, you can use it like you would any other .jmx file.

The monitorEvents() method instructs the DevTools to log information on the specified targets.

The first parameter is the object to monitor. All events return if the second parameter is not provided. To specify the events to listen to, pass either a string or an array of strings as the second parameter.
