Socket counters
These counters provide information about connections started, send and receive actions completed, and connection times. Some counters produce an aggregate value, where the values for several send and receive actions are represented in one value; others produce values for each action.Aggregate counters use the values for all the connections in a test to produce a single value for a report. This value is calculated from all values that satisfy the counter. When you drag an aggregate counter onto a report, one value is displayed. Folders containing aggregate counters have a clock superimposed on the folder icon:
. The following
tables that list aggregate counters have this icon in their title.
Individual counters produce values for each connection that satisfies the counter, rather than a single aggregate value. Folders containing individual counters have an asterisk superimposed on the folder icon:
. The
following tables that list individual counters have this icon in their title.
Some counters pertain to intervals in the run. You set the Statistics sample interval value in the schedule as a schedule property.

Connect Times counters
The counters in this section provide information about the connection response time. This is the time, in milliseconds, that elapses from the point that the test client attempts to establish a connection with the server and the moment the connection is established.
| Counter name | Description |
|---|---|
| Average [for Interval] | Average connection time for a specific connection during the most recent sample interval |
| Average [for Run] | Average connection time for a specific connection for the entire run |
| Maximum [for Interval] | Maximum connection time for a specific connection during the most recent sample interval |
| Maximum [for Run] | Maximum connection time for a specific connection for the entire run |
| Minimum [for Interval] | Minimum connection time for a specific connection during the most recent sample interval |
| Minimum [for Run] | Minimum connection time for a specific connection for the entire run |
| Standard Deviation [for Interval] | Standard deviation of connection times for a specific connection during the most recent sample interval |
| Standard Deviation [for Run] | Standard deviation of connection times for a specific connection for the entire run |
| Counter name | Description |
|---|---|
| Average [ms] [for Interval] | Average connection time for all connections within the most recent sample interval |
| Average [ms] [for Run] | Average connection time for all connections for the entire run |
| Maximum [ms] [for Interval] | Maximum connection time for all connections within the most recent sample interval |
| Maximum [ms] [for Run] | Maximum connection time for all connections for the entire run |
| Minimum [ms] [for Interval] | Minimum connection time for a all connections within the most recent sample interval |
| Minimum [ms] [for Run] | Minimum connection time for a all connections for the entire run |
| Standard Deviation [ms] [for Interval] | Standard deviation of connection times for all connections during the most recent sample interval |
| Standard Deviation [ms] [for Run] | Standard deviation of connection times for all connections for the entire run |
Connects counters
