*Part of the **Listeners** category. Also documented in context in the [full Component Reference](/user-manual/component-reference/#sample-result-save-configuration).*

Listeners can be configured to save different items to the result log files (JTL) by using the Config popup as shown below.
The defaults are defined as described in  the [Listener Default Configuration](/user-manual/listeners/#defaults) documentation.
Items with (`CSV`) after the name only apply to the CSV format; items with (`XML`) only apply to XML format.
CSV format cannot currently be used to save any items that include line-breaks.

Note that cookies, method and the query string are saved as part of the “`Sampler Data`” option.
