Load Runner- Network Virtualization: No NV Graph Visualization and incorrect location wise Response Time

Question

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:
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:

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->,

3. Average Response time for different regions:

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?

Answer 1

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.
