# X_BENCH_RUN_FAILED

## Means

a bench run produced no publishable figure

## Typical cause

`http-hello` got a non-2xx answer or no answer at all (the server refused or died mid-run), its `--start` command never answered 2xx, or a `first-hour` step failed in a clean first run. The run is reported with every count, never as a figure

## Fix

`curl -si <url>` for `http-hello`; for `first-hour`, the failed step's command in the work directory the finding names
