The Transaction Log page displays information about simulated virtual users and simulation results. You can use this page for debugging, for example, to find the cause of an issue that occurred during your test run.
Each row of the Transaction Log table contains information on a request simulated by an individual virtual user. The Transaction inspector on the right shows the information about the selected request.
To pause and resume logging, use the on or off switch.
By default, the Log is empty. You need to enable logging and select logging conditions.
