Load Generator Configuration > Runtime File Storage tab

This tab enables you to specify the results folder for the performance data that Controller gathers from this load generator during a scenario run.

To access: Controller toolbar> Load Generators button >Add and click More or Details. Select the Runtime File Storage tab.

Note: The folder specified here stores the result files gathered on the selected load generator. You can specify a global results folder using the Options dialog box. For details, see Runtime File Storage tab.

The following guidelines apply:

If the settings specified here differ to the global load generator settings, the settings specified here take preference.
If the load generator is localhost, Controller stores the scripts and results on a shared network drive and the options on this tab are all disabled.
If you are monitoring over a firewall, the settings in this tab are not relevant.
