What changed in this article
- Corrected capitalization/grammar from “Jmeter” to “JMeter” and framed plugin use as a controlled dependency task.
- Added compatibility checks for plugin version, JMeter version, Test Node availability, restart needs, and result parser impact.
- Added a caution to avoid installing arbitrary plugins

Validation workflow
- Confirm the JMeter plugin is required and compatible with the AIQ-supported JMeter version.
- Install or stage the plugin
resultsthrough the approved Test Node/runtime process, then restart only the required services. - Run a small JMeter execution and verify logs, transactions, and reports before using the plugin in
