Time Series Data Files

TSD File Naming Description
User File u@<...>.tsd A user file contains the time series data from one virtual user. During a load test, user files are generated on the agents.
Agent File a@<...>.tsd An agent file contains the time series data from one agent. During a load test, agent files are generated on the agents.
Intermediate File i@<...>.tsd An intermediate file contains all time series data from one agent including the time series data from all virtual users running on that agent. When the load test is complete, intermediate files are generated on the agents by merging the user files and the agent files together. When merged, the intermediate files are transferred to the controller.
Merged File m@<...>.tsd A merged file contains the time series data from all agents. It is generated on the controller by merging the intermediate files together. The merged file can be described as the master file, which holds all the time series data of a load test.
Agent File per User Type t@<...>.tsd An agent file per user type contains the time series data from one user type of one agent. Do not confuse it with a user file. Several virtual users can be assigned to one user type. Therefore, the agent file per user type usually holds the time series data from several user files. When the load test is complete, the agent files per user type are generated on the agents by merging user files with the same user type together. When merged, the agent files per user type are transferred to the controller.
Merged File per User Type k@<...>.tsd A merged file per user type contains the time series data from one user type of all agents. It is generated on the controller by merging the agent files with the same user type together.
Region File n@<...>.tsd A region file contains the time series data from one cloud region. It is generated on the controller by merging the intermediate files of cloud agents of the same region together.
Real-Time File r@<...>.tsd A real-time file contains the time series data that is collected and calculated during server-side monitoring.
