Canary times
Figure 9 shows sample results for the tested server when running a typical canary script. Individual
user response times are shown in blue, with a yellow line depicting average response times.
HP analyzed this figure to determine when response times began to increase markedly and
consistently over a baseline level, indicating that user response times had become unacceptable.
Figure 9. Canary time values show that user response times started to become unacceptable when 477 Heavy Users were
active
Response times were acceptable when 445 Heavy Users – the optimal number – were active.
