Hello all,

This is my first email to the list... I hope someone can help.

I have developed an registration/authentication system that I now need to load 
test.  For my load test I have set goal for number requests / second.  These 
requests are to be distributed in a set ratio according to the following:

1 New User Registration
1 Check if email is in use
1 Update Account
1 Update Subscription (subset of update account)
7 logins

Currently I am using a BSF Preprocessor to set variables (user later in IF 
controllers) to determine if these should run... so, for example:

vars.put('register_ratio', ${__P(register_ratio)});
vars.put('emailInUse_ratio', ${__P(emailInUse_ratio)});
vars.put('login_ratio', ${__P(login_ratio)});
...
etc

--------

var register_mod = parseInt(vars.get('counter'), 10) % 
parseInt(vars.get('register_ratio'), 10);
if (register_mod == 0) {
    vars.put('REGISTER', "yes");
} else {
    vars.put('REGISTER', "no");
}
...
etc

--------

Then, later I have IF Controllers for each:

"${REGISTER}" == "yes"
"${LOGIN}" == "yes"
...
etc

--------

This works as expected and I get the ratios of each request I am trying to 
achieve.  So, the first question:
Is this the "right" way to do this?  Is there a better way?

My second question, which may warrant a different thread has to do with 
collecting the output data.  Currently, I am running a server on 7 machines.  I 
have a python script that port scans all local IPs for 1099.  The python 
process then gathers the output to create a report.  The output works fine if I 
include a "Debug Sampler" even though I have everything set to False.  I am 
only able to get output (via CLI or GUI) if I have the Debug Sampler enabled.  
I think this is because all of my samplers (WebService SOAP) are inside of the 
IF Logic Controllers.  If I put a Summary Report or View Results Tree inside 
the IF Controllers then I get output, but if they are not inside then I get 
nothing with the Debug Sampler turned off.  I know I must be doing something 
wrong and was looking for some help on this as well.  Here is a screenshot of 
my current setup.

If you need any more information please feel free to ask.

As a side note, I have taken a lot of the logic from the perl script that 
generates graphs from the output saved from the Aggregate Graph and have ported 
it over to Python, adding a bunch of additional reporting information and 
wrapping it up in a nice little web interface.  Once completed, I would like to 
contribute the source back to the community.  Here is a partial screenshot:

Anyway, thanks for any help!
