This particular scenario usually works and any server failures are due server bottlenecks.
Today, we saw some exceptions for the first time.
Relevant extract from scenario:
.exec(http(“activate”)
.post(“URL”)
.basicAuth(“name, “password”)
.body(StringBody(”""{
“uid”:"${uid}",
“hostname”:"${hostname}",
“service_provider”:“gatling-tool.org”,
“os_id”:“gatling-2.0.0-m3a”,
“os_detail”:“gatling-agent-simulator 2014-03-11 10:01:05 -0800”
}""")).asJSON
.check(jsonPath("$.agent_id").find.saveAs(“agent_id”))
.check(jsonPath("$.agent_token").find.saveAs(“agent_token”))
.check(status.is(201))
