Updates to scripts include:

• You can now create DevWeb, Web - HTTP/HTML, C Vuser, and Java Vuser protocol scripts directly in the LoadRunner Enterprise Web client without having to use an external tool or installation. For details, see Create a script in LoadRunner Enterprise.

• Added support for running Kafka scripts in your performance tests and viewing the results in LoadRunner Enterprise graphs and Analysis. This enables you to monitor the health of your Kafka deployment by collecting Kafka-specific metrics, including producer and consumer metrics. For details, see Kafka tests.

For tests created in LoadRunner Enterprise 2022, runtime collation is now the default option for collating run results. Collating during runtime reduces the time required to gather all data at the end of the test . For details, see Collate results.

Updates to Azure cloud hosts include:

• You can configure cloud environment settings so that provisioned load generators are automatically assigned to an Azure Load Balancer backend pool. For details, see Configure cloud environment settings.

• You can add custom virtual machine images to the Azure Compute Gallery, making it easier to manage, share, and globally distribute them in Azure. For details, see Create custom image for cloud hosts.

Many areas of the online screen are updated using the latest technologies.

Other changes to the interface include:

• Redesigned the Monitors view from which you can more easily add new monitors to the test during a run. For details, see Monitors view.

• Modernized the Edit Timeslot Duration and View Script dialog boxes.

For details, see View running tests in the online screen.

The Timeslots module in the Performance Test Designer is simplified and has a fresh new look and feel. For details, see Create a timeslot and View or edit a reserved timeslot.

When test hosts become non-operational, an alert notification containing the host name and tenant ID is now sent to specified users if a host becomes non-operational during a Check Host maintenance task. This is in addition to notifications being sent when host status is manually changed to Non-Operational in LoadRunner Enterprise. For details, see Alert rules.

You can configure timeout limits for user sessions in the appsettings.defaults.json configuration file. For details, see Set the session timeout limit.

The following enhancements are available in LoadRunner Enterprise Administration and Site Management:

• You can perform various actions on an entity using the new menu in the entity's details page. For details, see Perform actions from the entity details menu.

• You can use the breadcrumb and dropdown menu added to an entity's details page to search for other entities in the module, and to switch between different entities in the group to view their details. For details, see Navigate using breadcrumbs in an entity's details page.

You can now delete LoadRunner Enterprise server licenses from the Licenses page in LoadRunner Enterprise Administration. For details, see Delete licenses.

Use the new Infrastructure Testing monitor to get basic monitor data for the Controller and all load generator machines involved in a performance test. For details, see Infrastructure Testing monitor graph.

After installing and configuring LoadRunner Enterprise, all of the LoadRunner Enterprise applications and components can run with User Account Control (UAC) and Data Execution Prevention (DEP) enabled.

Several updates were made to the start run process to improve stability and performance.

• When the script is downloaded to the Controller and load generators, only runtime files are transferred.

• You can have script files transferred to load generators during the test initialization stage instead of being downloaded by the Scheduler. For details, see Configure general test options.
