Silk Performer monitoring

When you run Silk Performer scripts from Controller, the Silk Performer counters and timers collect measurement data from the monitored transactions. The collected data is displayed in dedicated graphs.

Monitoring with Silk Performer scripts

You can run Silk Performer scripts in Controller, and view the collected data in Controller and Analysis graphs. For details on running Silk Performer scripts in Controller, see Set up and run Silk Performer scripts.

Data is monitored and reported in real time, and measurements can be viewed online (in Controller) and offline (in Analysis), using the data points from the Silk Performer scripts.

The Silk Performer graphs are enabled by default—they automatically begin monitoring Vusers at the start of a scenario that contains Silk Performer scripts.
