George @StresStimulus Administrator Posts: 554 6/5/2017	George @StresStimulus Administrator Posts: 554 The message says that response from the agent did not come back within the one-minute timeout. This can happen for several reasons. For example, your network, which generally works, at that particular moment was overloaded and caused the timeout. Another possibility is your agent computer stopped or slowed down responding. One way of troubleshooting it is to reduce the number of VUs on this agent to see if the error will go way. Also, check what other traffic is sent through your agent’s network adapter that may interfere with the load test. If you use StresStimulus with a full SQL Server, then additional bandwidth will be used to handle traffic between your agent and SQL Server. If you use SQL CE, then this bandwidth is not needed as agent session data is stored locally, and only performance metrics are sent to the controller. If the network connection is VPN or Internet, make sure you have a reliable connection with sufficient bandwidth. Also, try increasing the graph sample rate, located on workflow tree -> configure test -> other options. This will reduce the frequency of polling the agent.
