# View test results offline

This section describes the Results page which displays performance measurements and results for resources that were monitored in the test run. Viewing results offline provides quick access to performance graphs without having to wait for run results to be collated and analyzed.

Note:

- The only differences in viewing results offline compared to online, is that there is no data flow or runtime view, and NV Insights users are not displayed.

- Offline data is not intended as a replacement for LoadRunner Analysis. Offline data is taken from InfluxDB (internal or external) and might not display data that occurs at the end of a test.

## View test results

This task describes how to view results for resources that were monitored in the test run.

1. Use one of the following:

   - From the Dashboard: From the LoadRunner Enterprise navigation toolbar, click and select Dashboard. In the Finished section of the Runs pane, select a performance test and click View Results.

     Note: Only the four most recent test runs are displayed.

   - From the Test Management or Test Runs module: From the LoadRunner Enterprise navigation toolbar, click and select Test Management/Test Runs (under Testing). Select a performance test in the test management tree, and click the Runs tab. Select a test run instance and click View Results.

   Note: Offline results cannot be displayed if there was an error that did not allow the test to run, or if the results no longer exist (see Size and time limits for storing offline results below).

2. The results page provides you with the following resources:

   UI Element | Description
   --- | ---
   Dashboard | Displays performance measurements and results for those resources that were monitored in the test run in offline graphs. For an explanation of the Dashboard tab, see: Select which graphs are displayed Evaluate a test's status View measurements and results for the test run View transaction status Find out if anything went wrong with your test.
   Results | Displays result files for a selected test run. For details, see Download and upload result files.
   Event log | Displays the event log for a selected test run. For details, see View test run event logs.
   HTML Report | Opens an HTML version of the Analysis Summary report, which analyzes the data collected during the performance test run. The report provides general information about the performance test, lists statistics about the test run, and provides links to graphs containing test run data. For more details regarding the summary report, see the Analysis section of the LoadRunner Professional Help Center.
   NV Report | Opens the NV Insights report for the selected test run. For details on how to integrate the report in your performance test, see Integrate Network Virtualization into a performance test. For user interface details, see NV Insights Report. Note: Available only if NV Insights is enabled and included in the performance test.

## Evaluate a test's status

After a test run, the test summary contains general information about what happened during the test.

The summary pane provides the following data:

UI Elements | Description
--- | ---
<Run State> | The current run state, and the name and ID of the test.
Duration | The time that the test took to run (HH:MM:SS).
Start Time | The start date and time of the test run.
End Time | The end date and time of the test run.
Hits Per Second | How many hits (HTTP requests) there have been to the web server by Vusers during each second of the test run.
Throughput | The amount of throughput, in bytes, on the web server during each second of the test run.
Errors | The number of Vuser errors that occurred during the test run. If there are errors, click the number of errors link to view details in the Messages view. For details, see Messages view.
Transactions | Bar chart displaying the number of completed, successful and unsuccessful transactions during the test run. Click the transactions link to view details in the Transactions view. For details, see Transactions view.
Total Vusers | The total number of Vusers that ran in the test. Click the drop down arrow to display a breakdown of the statuses of the Vusers in the performance test. For details, see View test results offline.
| Opens an area below the summary area, which displays the following: Controller. The Controller that was used in the test. Vusers Max. The maximum number of concurrent Vusers that ran in the test.
| Search. Enables you to filter the information being displayed in each of the views by name.

## Select which graphs are displayed

This task describes how to display graphs in the dashboard.

1. Open the results Dashboard, and click the Graphs tab. For details, see View test results.

2. From the graph selection list on the right side of the pane, select which graphs to display in the graphs pane.

   UI Elements | Description
   --- | ---
   <Graphs tree> | <search>. Enables you to search the basic graphs by name. Basic Graphs. Displays a list of the configured online graphs. Select a graph to display it in the Online Graphs pane. Merged Graphs. Enables you to merge several graphs into one. To create a merged graph, click Add. In the graph editor, drag the graphs that you want to merge. <Graph icons> Displayed to the left of the graph name: Indicates the graph is currently being displayed in the Online Graphs pane. Indicates an anomaly has occurred in the graph.

## View measurements and results for the test run

Open the results Dashboard, and click the Graphs tab. For details, see View test results.

The offline graphs display performance measurements for resources that were monitored in a performance test.

To adjust the time range displayed in the graph, you can drag or re-size the sliders in the timeline. Pull the sliders on both sides to focus on a particular time period. You can also move the selection (maintaining the same granularity), and select a new range.

The following table summarizes the display options.

UI Elements | Description
--- | ---
Global display options
| Filter Measurement. Enables you to filter measurements by name for all graphs in the graphs pane. Show only visible. Enables you to hide the non-visible measurements from the legend. Has Anomalies. Enables you to display only those measurements that have an anomaly.
| Configuration. Enables you to configure all graphs displayed in the display pane. The following options are available: Time Display. The time displayed on the x-axis. Relative to Load Test start. Displays the amount of time that has elapsed since the beginning of the test (in hours, minutes, and seconds). Controller clock. Displays the time on the Controller clock. Show Anomalies. Displays the anomalies sleeve and the plot bands for those measurements that have an anomaly.
| Graph Layout. Displays graphs either side by side (upto three in a row), or stacked one on top of another.

## Size and time limits for storing offline results

The system administrator sets a size and time limit after which offline result files are deleted. By default, result files are deleted if they have not been opened for 30 days, or when the results folder exceeds 10 GB (the least used files are deleted first).

For details on configuring offline result settings, see Define host settings.
