The following tables provide some examples of how big raw measure data files can become when you execute
load
tests with the shown settings.
Note: The size values are approximate values.

* To gather these download times,
Silk Performer CloudBurst agents and a 100 Mbps internet connection to the
Silk Performer controller were used. The times include data processing and compression on the agents and the transfer to the controller.
Note: If you use cloud agents for your
load
tests, transferring large raw measure data files from the cloud agents to the controller can take a considerable amount of
time.
Note: For most
load
test scenarios it is sufficient to generate raw measure data for only a selected set of measures. To do so, use the BDL function
MeasureCollectRawData.
