Datadog Backend Listener for Apache JMeter is an open source JMeter plugin used to send test results to the Datadog platform. It provides real-time reporting of test metrics like latency, the number of bytes sent and received, and more. You can also send to Datadog complete test results as log entries.
The Datadog Backend Listener plugin needs to be installed manually. See the latest release and more detailed installation instructions on the repo release page.
