Logging JMeter Test Results Into Azure App Insights

1. Make the plugin Azure backend Listener available by updating the Dockerfile with code snippet below:

# Azure backend Listener plugin
 ENV AZURE_BACKEND_LISTENER_PLUGIN_VERSION=0.2.2
 RUN wget https://jmeter-plugins.org/files/packages/jmeter.backendlistener.azure-${AZURE_BACKEND_LISTENER_PLUGIN_VERSION}.zip
 RUN unzip -o jmeter.backendlistener.azure-${AZURE_BACKEND_LISTENER_PLUGIN_VERSION}.zip -d ${JMETER_HOME}

2. Update sample.jmx by adding the required Azure backend listener plugin and providing required application insights instrumentation key. The instructions on how to do that can be found here.

Turning on Live Metrics within this plugin has serious performance impact on controller instance if the solution is being used for larger infrastructures.
