Generic page counters

These counters provide information on page attempts, page hits, response time, and response success, and verification points. Some counters produce an aggregate value, where the values for pages are rolled up into one value; others produce values for each page.

Aggregate counters produce a single value, which has been calculated by considering all pages, for a report. This value is rolled up from all values that satisfy the counter. When you drag an aggregate counter on to a report, it shows one value. Folders that contain aggregate counters have a clock superimposed on the icon: folder icon with a clock superimposed. The tables below that list aggregate counters have this icon in their title.

Individual counters produce values for each item that satisfies the counter, rather than a single rolled-up value. Folders that contain individual counters have an asterisk superimposed on the icon: folder
icon with an asterisk superimposed. The tables below that list individual counters have this icon in their title.

Some counters have to do with intervals in the run. You set the Statistics sample interval in the schedule, as a schedule property.

Attempt counters

The counters in this section give data on attempts. When an attempt refers to a page, it means that the primary request was sent; it does not include requests within the page. When an attempt refers to a page element, it means that a request was sent.

If the request has no verification points, a success means that the server received a request and returned a response where the status code was in the 200 or 300 category, or an expected response in the 400 or 500 category.
