JMeter Distributed Testing

Hello,

I am using JMeter for distributed testing with a JMX that has only a custom listener to save data locally without any communication with the master node (to avoid such bottlenecks)

I am testing with dummy samplers on my laptop and I am noticing that
- with mode=Standard performance is highly degraded due to large RMI traffic between the client and the server
- with mode=Statistical performance is much better.

In my scenario I need to have multiple slave nodes
- some that do processing
- one that does initial setup and validations

Is there any way to have one slave sending all sampler results with response data as well to the client, while all the other slaves to send statistics - or even better, nothing to the client?

I am seeing this configuration - but not sure where to apply it and how it actually works.

Thanks in advance for your feedback
