Documentation to interpret the Summary report

[Cryptinterested]

When performing my performance tests, I get a Summary report but I struggle to find an exhaustive documentation to explain each section of the report.

This is my final report:

`All VUs finished. Total time: 4 minutes, 30 seconds

---

Is http.request_rate a mean or a max?
Can http.responses: be different from vusers.completed: ?

@Cryptinterested http.request_rate is average over the reporting period. Yes http.responses is usually different, because a scenario typically makes more than one HTTP request. They would be the same if every VU makes only one request.

[Cryptinterested]

Thanks for your answer. Is it possible to get the max request_rate?

[Cryptinterested]

Any news on that?

[hassy]

There's no way to track max request rate right now. What way to measure it would be most useful for your use case?

[Cryptinterested]

I would say the last moment when the remote server answers to all my requests. I would define that as a maximum.
