Monitor the execution of TestEvents and ExecutionLists

Once you press Execute Now, Tosca Commander transfers your TestEvents to the Tosca Distribution Server. Use the Distributed Execution Monitor to monitor the execution of these TestEvents and the ExecutionLists that they contain.

Monitor TestEvents

To view the current status of your TestEvents on the server, open the Distributed Execution Monitor and navigate to the Event View.

The Event View contains the following information:

• A status bar with summary information on the status of your TestEvents.

• Columns with detailed information on the last 10 TestEvents.

The status bar indicates the total number of TestEvents that you have forwarded to be executed as well as the status of these TestEvents:

The table below lists the icons that illustrate the status of a Test Event in the Distributed Execution Monitor.

Icon	Description
	Planned TestEvents (Queued)
	Currently running TestEvents (Running)
	An error has occurred (Error) To learn more about the error, click on the icon or check the log file of the agent.
	Canceled TestEvents
	Executed TestEvents (Finished)

The columns below the status bar provide you with detailed information on the last 10 TestEvents.

Column	Description
State	State of the TestEvent
Name	Name of the TestEvent
Actual Result	Execution state of the ExecutionLists of the TestEvent (Passed, Failed, Remaining)
Start Time	Time the TestEvent was forwarded to the server
Creator	User who started the TestEvent

If your TestEvents get queued even though you have idle Distribution Agents available, view your ExecutionLists as described in chapter "Monitor ExecutionLists".

Monitor ExecutionLists

To view the current status of the ExecutionLists within a TestEvent, follow the steps below:

1. Open the Distributed Execution Monitor and go to the Event View.

2. Click on the respective TestEvent that contains the ExecutionList you want to check.

The TestEvent window opens and displays the following information:

• a header showing the TestEvent owner (i.e. the user who started the TestEvent), the TestEvent status, and the duration of the event (i.e. the time spent executing the ExecutionLists within the TestEvent so far)

• a status bar with summary information on the execution status of the ExecutionLists

• columns with detailed information on every ExecutionList

The columns below the status bar display the following information:

Column	Description
State	State of the ExecutionList
ExecutionLists	Name of the ExecutionList
Agent	Tosca Distribution Agent that runs the ExecutionList
Start Time	Point in time when the ExecutionList started running
End Time	Point in time when the ExecutionList finished running
Actual Result	Results of the ExecutionEntries within an ExecutionList

The Tosca Distribution Server queues TestEvents if there are no Tosca Distribution Agents available that match the configuration you assigned to the TestEvent.

The Distributed Execution Monitor displays this information underneath the respective ExecutionList:
