About this task
The amount of information that you see in the Event Log depends
on the amount of information that is collected by the test log. When
you run a test, all logging is automatically enabled, therefore the
Event Log contains complete details. When you run a schedule, however,
you select a
Log Level setting, and the amount
of detail that the Event Log contains depends on this setting. For
more information, see
Setting
the data that the test log collects.
If your schedule run
is not large, select the setting All for all
types of events. For large schedule runs, do not use the All setting, because of the time and space required to
transfer large amounts of log detail to your computer after a run
is completed. Instead, define a special schedule for debugging tests
with the log levels set to All. Limit this
schedule to a single test (or a small number of tests) and to a small
number of user groups or loop iterations. After you are satisfied
that a test is performing correctly, you can move it to a schedule
that emulates a realistic workload.
What to do next
The information in the
Event Details window supplements the information in the
test log. To see more information about a particular event, view the
test log after the test finishes running. With the test log, you can
see an event in context. The test log also provides links to the recorded
test.
