Dynatrace Silk Performer integration - splitting of test runs

Hi guys,

We did some work on silk performer version 9 and were able to successfully integrate the silk performer plugin with Dynatrace. We know it was successful as we could see the tagged web requests as well as the auto creation of offline profiles for each run. Or so we thought.

For an unknown reason, although each run was designated an hour time frame, Dynatrace decided to split the file into multiple sessions. Therefore, instead of having 1 60 minutes session, we have 1 30 minute session and 3 10 minute session (time frames are an approximation). This happened on almost all the test runs.

So, is there a way to stop this happening, and /or secondly, can we merge several runs together?

The system is running in continuous recording mode and we're running DT 4.2 on windows.

Cheers,

Steve

Hey Andreas,

Sorry about the late reply. I actually had a chat with the client using Silk Performer and apparently an error popup occurs on the silk performer side. I actually think it may have something to do with flakey internet between the dt client and server, So i'll actually log a case in regards to it and see how it goes.

Thanks again for your help.

Cheers,

Steve

Hi Steve

Two things that come to mind
a) if you use a Development Team Edition that would explain the 30 minutes session. I think we have a stored session limit of 30 mins in that edition
b) if you have continuous sesson recording turned on and run on test center edition then I suggest you turn of automatic session recording in the silkPerformer plugin. There is an option in the settings dialog. The advantage of Cont Session Recording is that everything will automatically be recorded for you on disk as long as you have space. After a test run you can then look at the data - and - if useful - additional put it into a stored session by exporting or storing a specific timeframe of the "Live" session.
c) if you want to leverage the Start/Stop session recording feature in the Silk->dynaTrace integration you should turn off Continuous Recording. Then you should automatically get one stored session for each test run
