JMeter - Listener
About
A listener is a component that shows/records the results of the samples.
If you only wish to record certain samples:
- add the Listener as a child of the sampler
- Or use a Simple Controller to group a set of samplers, and add a Listener.
Listeners are processed at the end of the (scope|node) in which they are found.

Component
The listeners section of the components page has full descriptions of all the listeners.
The results can be shown in in different ways:
- a tree,
- tables,
- graphs
- or simply written to a JMeter - (Sampler Result | Sample | Listener (Output|Results|Data) File).
However, they all write the same raw data to the JMeter - (Sampler Result | Sample | Listener (Output|Results|Data) File) - if one is specified.
