Analyze the reports and discover the slow parts of your application.

The reports can be accessed by clicking on the icon in the simulations table or in the runs table.

This view introduce all the metrics available for a specific run. This page consists of:

Reports

Run Bar

This bar is a combination of buttons:

  • Start / Stop: Use this button to start a new run of the simulation, or stop the ongoing run (not available if you have a Viewer permission)
  • Generate public link: To create a public link
  • Print to PDF: To print reports
Run bar

Top Navigator Menu

The navigation menu allows you to choose the simulation time range.

Timewindow

Assertions

The label below shows the status of the simulation (Ongoing, successful, timeout…). If your simulation has assertions, you can click this label. You can comment the run by clicking on the icon.

Timeline assertions

Timeline

The timeline contains metrics of the full run providing an overview of the run. Global information are available such as the resolution and the simulation name.

The resolution indicates the number of seconds per data point in the graph.

You can change the time range with control buttons or by selecting a region on the timeline:

Timeline

Tabs

Below the navigator chart, there are tabs to switch charts. Each tab has the same structure except the summary that is available only for requests and groups tabs.

Summary (Requests and Groups only)

This view is available only from requests and groups tabs. It is a summary of metrics drawn in the charts, and has two modes: flat, by default, and hierarchy.

On Flat mode you can filter the data by clicking any column name of the table.
