The Dashboard will indicate when a test is finished. On the bottom the message “The test is finished, please click “reload” to reload this page.” For more information about the LoginVSI dashboard and what each part means, please scroll below. |
LoginVSI Dashboard
The dashboard will always display the information you need for a test. It will tell you how many users have launcher, how many have run the logon script and become active, and how many have successfully ended their portion of the test and logged off. You will want the Launched and Active numbers to be close in number, as the logon rate and the active rate should be close. The last part is the Logoff number. You will want this bar to be completely full and the number to be the same as the Launched and the Active numbers. The logon timer will have a graph that will show how fast the users are becoming active. If you see erratic spikes, it could indicate issues with logging users on. There there are errors that appear, whither it be on the launcher machine or the test machines, there will be screenshots. Clicking on the screenshots can help resolve what the issue with the test was.
