Runtime overview
The Runtime overview tab displays the following statistics:
|
Name |
Description |

Graphs
The main statistics are plotted in real time: number of Virtual Users currently running, error rate (errors/sec.), number of alerts, hits/sec. and average request response time.
Controller
Two metrics monitor the Controller activity:
Controller CPU Load: CPU load for the machine hosting the Controller.
Controller Memory used: Memory used, expressed as a percentage of the memory allocated to the Controller program.
Load Generators
- Host: Machine running the Load Generator.
- Virtual Users: Number of Virtual Users currently being run by that Load Generator.
- Hit Rate: Average hit rate generated by that Load Generator.
- Errors: Current error rate (number of errors per second).
- CPU Load: CPU load for the machine hosting the Load Generator.
- Memory Used: Memory used, expressed as a percentage of the memory allocated to the Load Generator program (the program default memory allocation is 384Mb).
- Throughput: Throughput in Megabits per second for the network interface used on the Load Generator.
If the CPU Load or Memory Used figure regularly exceeds 90%, this indicates that the Load Generator is overloaded. Run the test with fewer Virtual Users or a longer think time, or use additional Load Generators.
