@asankeg2000 I hav encountered the same problem, has it been resolved?

[asankeg2000]

@raofq I'm not sure .. as I gave it up looking for the answer due to other priorities.

[ghenzler]

This seems to happen if there is no successful sampler data at all (played with http timeouts, I get this when the timeout is so low that not a single request is successful)
