Building report based on response header value

Gatling (Open-Source)
1

Hello,
In the web API I’m testing, I get RequestProcessingTime as one of the headers of the response.
I’d like to be able to instruct Gatling to report response times based on this header value (in milliseconds), thus ignoring the network latency impact - allowing me to test internal cache performance in isolation…

Looking over the docs, I couldn’t find reference to such functionality.

Thanks in advance for any hints and tips.

Regards, Ivan

Hi,

I’m pretty sure Gatling doesn’t support custom datapoints currently - so your best bet is to extract the header values you’re after, save them to an external source (filesystem / database) and then perform your own analysis.
