I am trying to do a PoC on Load Runner- Network Virtualization. PFB Scenario Details:

  1. Demo Site: https://petstore.octoperf.com/actions/Catalog.action
  2. Machine: Office Laptop
  3. #Locations: 4 ->Location Configurations: enter image description here
  4. 1 User to each location (total=4 Users).
  5. Duration: 10-15 minutes

Expected Result:

  1. Transaction having higher response time of the Location- London and Paris as compared to that of Mumbai and Goa.
  2. NV Graphs Visualization- Packet Loss, Average Throughput, Average Bandwidth Utilization, etc.

But in actual, I am getting below observations from my test:

  1. Empty Graphs:enter image description here

  2. Inconsistent response time from different locations (NV Insights): Ideally considering latency, the response time of London and Paris should have been more than 1.6 seconds for each transactions. Important Transactions' SS given->enter image description here, enter image description here

  3. Average Response time for different regions: enter image description here

Questions:

  • Why I am not able to see the NV Graphs?
  • Why the latency is not getting added to the response time?

I have tried adding the outbound for NV port in Firewall but the results remain the same. Can someone please guide what I am missing or doing wrong?

  • Can you share a snippet of your code, ideally one transaction? everything from one trans_start to trans_stop. – kenneth Jun 13 '23 at 14:26
  • hi @kenneth, here it is: lr_start_transaction("03_selectItem"); web_add_auto_header("Accept-Language", "en-US,en;q=0.9"); web_url("Catalog.action_2", "URL=https://petstore.octoperf.com/actions/Catalog.action?viewCategory=&categoryId=FISH", "Resource=0", "RecContentType=text/html", "Referer=https://petstore.octoperf.com/actions/Catalog.action", "Snapshot=t5.inf", "Mode=HTML", LAST); web_link("FI-SW-01", "Text=FI-SW-01", "Snapshot=t8.inf", LAST); lr_end_transaction("03_selectItem",LR_AUTO); – Aditya Singh Jun 15 '23 at 06:59
  • Hi @kenneth, did you get something to ponder? – Aditya Singh Jun 19 '23 at 21:56

My machine had more than one NIC (Wi-Fi and Ethernet) and it was not selected. Once I selected (Wi-Fi), got the expected results.
