This option is available for any test type, however it will provide the most detailed information when used with a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.redline13.com\/blog\/docs\/jmeter-tests\/\">JMeter<\/a> test (which is also our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.redline13.com\/blog\/2021\/08\/popular-load-test-types\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">most popular<\/a> test type).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Where to Find Output Files<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You can find output files at the completion of your test under the &#8220;<em>Output Files<\/em>&#8221; section of the test results page.  Here you will be presented with several options for downloading these files.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.redline13.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/output-files-location.png\" alt=\"Location of download links for output files\" class=\"wp-image-9784\" width=\"421\" height=\"80\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.redline13.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/output-files-location.png 842w, https:\/\/www.redline13.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/output-files-location-300x57.png 300w, https:\/\/www.redline13.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/output-files-location-768x145.png 768w, https:\/\/www.redline13.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/output-files-location-425x80.png 425w, https:\/\/www.redline13.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/output-files-location-840x159.png 840w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 421px) 100vw, 421px\" \/><figcaption>Location of download links for output files.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>For each load generator server, you will be able to download a *.tgz archive which will contain the log files for your test, as well as additional output files depending on the test type.  Furthermore for JMeter tests, we also make the <a href=\"https:\/\/cwiki-test.apache.org\/confluence\/display\/JMETER\/JtlFiles\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">JTL<\/a> file available both inside the archive for individual servers, or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.redline13.com\/blog\/2022\/04\/merge-results-and-analyze-all-results-at-once\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">merged<\/a> for all servers as a separate link.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Output File Structure<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As described above, primarily output files are made available as *.tgz archives for each individual load generator server.  Once extracted, you can expect the file structure resemble the following example:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.redline13.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/output-files-archive-structure.png\" alt=\"Output file and folder structure for extracted archive files\" class=\"wp-image-9785\" width=\"240\" height=\"186\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.redline13.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/output-files-archive-structure.png 321w, https:\/\/www.redline13.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/output-files-archive-structure-300x234.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 240px) 100vw, 240px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The main log file (indicated above) can be found in the &#8220;ouput&#8221; subfolder.  This example is also a JMeter test and therefore contains the JTL file alongside it.  Depending on your test type, you may have other types of files alongside the main *.log file.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Other Considerations<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There are a few special circumstances to be aware of when attempting to save and download output files for your load test.  The first is that this feature is only available for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.redline13.com\/blog\/2022\/02\/redline13-pricing-features\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">paid subscriptions<\/a> and free trial periods.  The second important consideration is that for very large load tests, generation of these files will be offloaded to worker instances and will take a few minutes to display after your test completes.  This brief delay is normal and expected due to the potentially large volume of data which must be processed immediately after such a test completes.  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When you run a load test on RedLine13, you have the option of saving detailed output files.
