The session tree displays the complete configuration of the current load session. Status icons reflect the status of your load session.
Through the session tree you can see:
The Agendas running in the test session
The hosts running each Agenda
Each Agenda and host's current operating status
Icons are displayed on each line of the tree, making it easy to view the test activity.
The following is a line-by-line explanation of the above session tree:

1 Load Session Indicates a session tree.

[CONNECTED]
Describes the Load Machine for this test session.
The Load Machine icon, along with its status (currently running), is followed by the host name (TestLab 1).
A test session may include multiple Load Machines.
Two numbers follow each Load Machine entry:
The first number is the current load being generated.
The second number is the maximum load that Agenda schedules it to generate over the course of a test session.
In this example, TestLab 1 is running under Agenda1, and has a maximum scheduled load of 75 Virtual Clients and is currently generating a load of 45 Virtual Clients.
4 Agenda2 The Agenda file to be run during the load session.
5 TestLab 16 Describes the Probing Client Machine host for this test session. The Probing Client icon, along with its status (currently running), is followed by the Host name (TestLab 16). A test session may include multiple Probing Client hosts.
6 Mix 1 The Mix file to be run during the load session
7 TestLab 9 (15,35) Describes the Load Machine for this test session. The Load Machine icon, along with its status (currently running), is followed by the host name (TestLab 9).
Two numbers follow each LoadMachine entry:
The first number is the current load being generated.
The second number is the maximum load that Mix schedules it to generate over the course of a test session.
In this example, TestLab 9 is running under Mix1, and has a maximum scheduled load of .35 Virtual Clients and is currently generating a load of 15 Virtual Clients To the right of each Load Machine two numbers are displayed in parentheses, for example TestLab 1(45, 75). These display the load size currently being generated; followed by the maximum load size (number of Virtual Clients) the Agenda is scheduled to generate. The current load size number will change according to the load schedule defined in the Schedule dialog box. Before a test session begins, the 'current' load size being generated is 0. In most

modes of operation, the current load size will never exceed the maximum load size scheduled for that Agenda listed to the right of the current value.
Note: Using Throttle Control, you can increase the current load size to exceed the maximum load size - but not while running a Cruise Control session.
