Add Load Generators

Each Load Generator running on the local network is automatically detected by the Controller on startup. A click on the button Automatically discover remote Load Generators allows auto-discovering the Load Generators currently running (the discovery may take a few seconds).

You can also add Load Generators manually by entering:

• their hostname or their IP address.

  This way, Load Generators will use the port defined in their agent.properties file (default number is 7100).

• Cloud Load Generators use port 443.

• their IP address/hostname and port.

  This option enables to host several Load Generators on a same machine and/or to use a port other han the one defined in controller.properties

• Tip: If you don't want to use the default port, enter a port number after the colon in the following format: 52.148.96.38:7101 after having configured the Load Generator in the agent.properties file. See Use a firewall between the Controller and a Load Generator.

• To add Load Generators manually

2. Click right and select Add a new host or click the + button.
3. In the Add new Load Generators screen, enter either the hostnames or the IP addresses or yet the hostnames/IP addresses and port numbers of the machines you want to use as a Load Generator.
