Thread: Failed to connect to the load generator

While I was trying to configure the Load generator with remote, I gave the IP address and the system from where I am trying to genarate the load is pingable, still it is giving the message "Failed to connect to the load generator. Check the output window for more details".

i need this urgently.

Thanks in advance

Hi Stephen,

This scenario occurs because the communication between the COntroller and Load Generator machine happens through a software called as Agent.

Incase the Agent Service on the specified IP Address is not running, we would still be able to ping the machine, but cannot get it to act as a Load generator.

navigate to location in Start Menu where LoadRunner is displayed. You should be having an option to activate SrvcAgent. I am not exactly sure of the option name as I dont have LR Installed presently. But I am sure there is an option to activate the Service Agent.

Once you click on those options, try connecting again. I am sure you will be able to get the LoadGenerator up.

Cheers.......
