Fwd: Extra time-out error message

[Bindu R <bin...@gm...>]

Hi,
I am using curl-loader to load test a web application. While testing I found
that curl-loader logs an extra time-out error message intermittently in the
.log file.

This is what I have done so far:
1. I have a list of 13 urls in the conf file each with a time out of 1000
milli seconds.
2. I ran curl-loader as
curl-loader -f <conf file> -e -v
with following settings in the conf file
CLIENTS_NUM_MAX=500
CLIENTS_NUM_START=50
CLIENTS_RAMPUP_INC=100
.....
CYCLES_NUM= 1
URLS_NUM= 13

3. And here's a cut from the actual .log file:

2143       0              0              134         !!
OK          200

2424       0              1              134         !!
OK          200

2511       0              2              134         !!

4019       0              11           134         !!

4294       0              12           134         !!
OK          200

5265       0              12           134
!!             ERUT     url           completion
timeout:              url:

connection         #123

As we can see, we have 13 '200' responses and then we have one timeout
error.

This happens very few times (2-3 instances) and happens only when I run the
test with clients > 500.

Could any one please let me know what can be the reason for this? Any
guidance will be really helpful.

Timeouts mean that either your server side web-server or the application are
slow to
deal with increased load.

Start from looking at the application and web-server logs.

Take care!
