Configure a counter or indicator

Counters are grouped by category. Each category groups counters and indicators for a common monitored object. A counter or indicator is defined for a given monitor and for a specific category. A counter related to one monitor cannot be cut/pasted or moved to a monitor of a different type.

A counter returns numeric values. During a test, a counter can be viewed in the Runtime section (its value changes during the course of the test) as well as in the Results section.

An indicator returns lines of text. During a test, an indicator can only be viewed in the Results section.
