Listeners are the elements that collect and display the results samplers produce - as raw data in a table (View Results Tree), a graph (Response Time Graph), or aggregated statistics (Aggregate Report, Summary Report).
They're primarily useful during test creation and debugging, when you want to inspect individual request/response details, but most listeners add real overhead (CPU and memory) when active during an actual large-scale load run.

Listeners are responsible for:
A common practice for actual load runs is to:
