In documentation it's mentioned that 3.2 onwards, Jmeter use configuration from log4j2 configuration file instead system.properties: https://jmeter.apache.org/usermanual/get-started.html#logging Since by default the location is read through log4j2.xml file, configuration through system.properties may got ignored. Modifying filename through log4j2.xml was successful, but it is not cleanest. # Create new log file (work around) - log4j2.xml Original line of code: <File name="jmeter-log" fileName="${sys:jmeter.logfile:-jmeter.log}" append="false"> -  - Modified code: <File name="jmeter-log" fileName="${sys:jmeter1.logfile:-logfileQ.log}" append="false"> -  - Replace logfileQ.log with desired file name - Changed the name of XQuery variable(jmeter.logfile) to make it work ## Reason: Changing variable name (sys:jmeter.logfile) - I could not find how and where the variable for filename, been used. So, to change the logfile name, the variable name was changed. Otherwise, no new file gets generated. - This will create a new log file as specified, but the logs still get duplicated in jmeter.log file - Knowing the use of variable may help avoid changing default variable name ## JMeter Version 5.5 ## Java Version java version "18.0.2.1" 2022-08-18 ## OS Version Microsoft Windows 10 Pro [Version:19044.2486] -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
