Automatic Monitoring

If Automatically start monitoring is enabled in the Silk Performer profile when a load test begins, Silk Performer launches Performance Explorer with the monitoring template you assigned to the profile.

All monitor writers begin writing and saving generated TSD files to the load-test directory. The writing of these monitor files is automatically stopped after load tests are complete.

The names of generated TSD files are formatted as r@NAMEOFMONITOR@STARTTIME.tsd, where NAMEOFMONITOR is the monitor writers caption. After running the load test, TSD files for each monitor writer are defined in your workspace.
