The resulting data is a CSV file. Each row corresponds to a specific step on the test run.

The table consists of the following columns:

Column	Description
URL_Step_Start	The URL of the page the virtual user was on when the step execution was started.
Date_Time	The date and time the step execution was started.
Status	The execution status of the step. Possible states: pass, fail.
VU ID	The unique ID of the virtual user that performed the step, including its IP address.
Iteration count	The serial number of this iteration for the virtual user, specified in VU ID.
Step name	The name of the performed step in the LoadNinja script.
Duration (ms)	The duration of the step execution, in milliseconds.
Redirect time (ms)	If the tested website has initially responded with an HTTP 301 or 302 redirect, this shows the time that a virtual user spent following the redirects until getting to the final URL.
DNS time (ms)	The time spent performing a DNS lookup, that is, obtaining the IP address of the website from a DNS server. If this value is elevated, it indicates that a virtual user had problems with reaching the DNS server and retrieving its response.
Connect time (ms)	The time spent performing a TCP handshake, that is, establishing a connection to a web server after the DNS lookup. If this value is elevated, this indicates possible network and routing problems or low efficiency of the server bandwidth.
Time to first byte (ms)	The time spent waiting for the first byte of the response from the server. Its duration includes processing the requests, accessing the database of the server, selecting and generating the response, and depends on the server performance mostly. If this value is elevated, this indicates a possible high server load, problems with database queries, memory leaks, or other performance issues.
Response time (ms)	The total time passed from the moment when the client sent the composed request until the moment when the page’s HTML code got downloaded. Note: If the page refers to images, JavaScript, CSS files, and other external resources, they will not be included.
DOM load time (ms)	The total time it took to load and construct the DOM. The DOM is considered completed when the DOMContentLoaded event starts. Note: The images, CSS, scripts, and other resources the page refers to may still be loading at this point.
Event time (ms)	The total time it took to fully load the page, as well as all the resources it referred to, to the Document Object Model (DOM). The page is considered fully loaded when the onload event trigger is invoked.
Region	The region, where the virtual user was situated. Possible values: us-east-1 — US East (North Virginia) eu-north-1 — EU North (Stockholm) eu-central-1 — EU Central (Frankfurt) eu-west-1 — EU West (London) ca-central-1 — Canada (Central) ap-south-1 —Asia Pacific (Mumbai)
