LoadComplete can monitor various metrics of the tested servers during the test run. The Standard Counters provider gives access to some frequently used performance values of Windows-based and Unix-based servers:
| Counter | Description |
|---|---|
|
% CPU |
The percentage of the elapsed time the processor spends to execute non-idle threads. |
|
% Memory |
The percentage of the currently used memory. This counter is available only on Windows-based hosts. |
|
Memory (MB) |
The amount of currently used memory in megabytes. This counter is available only on Windows-based hosts. |
|
% Disk time |
The percentage of the elapsed time all the disk drives were busy processing read and write requests during the test run. This counter is available only on Windows-based hosts. |
To allow LoadComplete to access the needed counter data on the target server, configure the server as described in Configuring Windows-Based Servers or Configuring Unix-Based Server (depending on your tested web server type).
