Performance Explorer provides monitor charts and monitor reports to display and store measured values.
- A monitor chart displays the measured values of a data source in real-time. You can adjust the polling interval of a monitor
chart.
- A monitor writer records the measured values of a data source and stores them in a .tsd file. Monitor writers are also useful
to compare server-side and client-side measures when a load test is completed.
Note: A short polling interval can reduce the performance of your computer which, consequently, can influence test results. For
large load tests, define intervals greater than 60 seconds.
Note: The values that display in a monitor chart cannot be written to a .tsd file afterwards.
