You get a lengthy output that contains all available objects. E.g. FTP-related objects: ftp.rptm.count: 0 ftp.active.rptm.sum: 0.00 ... ftp.size.count: 0 ... ftp.active.rptm.count: 0 ... Now you can limit the lx output to FTP-related objects only using "--objects ftp". Or further limit it to active FTP transactions with "--objects ftp.active" or to active FTP transactions size stats with "--objects ftp.active.size". And so on. As for the description of each object, I am afraid it is not documented. There is outdated documentation about lx output [1] and options [2]. But it is of limited usage now. > It seems I am unable to decipher the meaning of 'rep.rptm.mean', > amongst others.

Most important rptm.* values are: rptm.count - number of messages rptm.min/max/mean - min/max/mean response time rptm.sum - sum of all response times Many rptm stats also have a histogram. Another common stats object is *.size.*. It collects information about size of particular messages. It has same count, min/max/mean and sum stats as rptm. Polygraph collects stats for many different kind of transactions. The 'rep.' category is the most general one and collects stats for all replies. So 'rep.rptm.mean' is the mean response time for all transactions. There are many more transaction categories, e.g. basic.* (basic transactions), head.* (HTTP HEAD transactions), ssl.* (HTTPS transactions). Note that lx output is intended mostly for automated processing and quick checks by humans. Consider using the reporter tool for generating a human-friendly test report.

Please see the change log quoted below for details. Regards, Dmitry ------------ Change Log since v4.3.1 --------------- version 4.3.2 2011/04/05 - Fixed assertion when a container PGL Content type uses an embedded PGL Content that was not configured yet. - Fix build with OpenSSL libraries with disabled SSLv2 protocol. In particular, this fixes build on Debian Weezy. Workloads using SSLv2 will be rejected if Polygraph was built without SSLv2 support. - Fixed layout of tables printed on the console (e.g. "Server content distributions" and "Phases"). - Fix persistent working set ID reporting when loading the stored set. Before the change, a new ID was generated each time the set was loaded. - Cleanup copyright preamble to make Debian folks happier: add copyright where missing, remove copyright from generated config.h file, update copyright years, replace "(C)" with "Copyright". - Remove files specific to Windows build which has not been supported for a while.
