Usage analytics overview

The Controller's usage analytics provides you with general statistics about your scenario run. This information can be useful for determining how your resources are being used and your license consumption. The analytics include:

  • Summary graphs displaying the number of Vusers or runs per protocol.
  • A bar chart showing run information such as the average run time and the total number of runs.
  • A usage table with run information per protocol.

To access the analytics, choose Tools > Usage Analysis after your scenario run. The Usage Analytics app opens in a separate window. You can view the results in two pages: The Summary Report page and the Detailed View page.

Note: Statistics are only displayed for scenarios that ran for at least five minutes with 10 or more Vusers.
