Proxy Load Help Request

Hello guys,

I am trying to test a proxy server with heavy load and my objective is
clear: Increase the number of users to the proxy to find out at which point
(i.e. approximate number of users) the proxy starts to run slower and drop
responding.

I have setup the grinder and it connects successfully to the proxy server.
To increase the number of users, I have manipulate the properties file to
have:
 - 5 processes, each with 50 threads
 - Add one process every 15 seconds

The test runs and I have the results, but my problem is to analyze the
result out.
I now have 5 log files and 5 data log files with all the statistics.

My plan was to compare the number of users which are increasing over time
against the test time they took to complete. Then comparing the two on a
graph basis may give me a estimation about what I'm looking for.

What I do not understand is where is the number of actual accesses to the
target webpage through the proxy.
The Thread column apparently shows the thread number, not the number of
threads/users.

I have tried using the GrinderAnalyzer tool, and can get results of one
result file out. The problem with this are:
1. How to import multiple data files with multiple mapping files, didn't
find much on the instruction page.
2. It is  giving me the transaction load, is that the same as the number of
actual accesses to the target webpage?


I would appreciate your help to guide me how can I achieve my objective
using Grinder if I'm doing it wrong, or how to analyze the results I have
out.

Thank you very much.
