• Errors. Usually indicates that the script failed.

• Warnings. Indicates that the Vuser encountered a problem, but that the test continued to run.

• Notifications. Provides runtime information.

• Debug. Sent only if the debugging feature is enabled in the Controller. To enable the feature, select Tools > Performance Center Controller Options > Debug Information.

Default: All Types

Select a row in the grid and click Vuser Log. The Vuser activity log opens, enabling you to view a list of messages per individual Vuser. The log contains the following information:
