Summary Log and Detailed Log

There are two main log files: The Summary Log and the Detailed Log.

The summary log contains only the most important results:

·      Time and Date of test

·      Short results for all periods

·      Short results of complete test

·      Glossary

The detailed log (must be enabled on the options page) contains all of the Summary Log information and:

·      Test Setup Data (URLs, number of users etc.)

·      Test process information (e.g. waiting for timer)

·      Detailed results for all periods

·      Failed Requests

·      Results of complete test

·      Glossary

·      Locations were the logfiles were saved to

This log file can grow very large. Depending on your operating system, Webserver Stress Tool may not be able to show the logfile. If this is the case, please use an external editor.

Note: large log files can not be opened on Windows 95/98/ME machines.

The detailed log file and the user’s logfiles are written to the disk almost instantly during the test and thus can be helpful in diagnosing problems in the event of an abnormal program termination.

The summary log is written to the disk at the end of the test.
