To add a dashboard for a product, click "ADD DASHBOARD" in the dashboard settings menu. You can define separate dashboards for your different types of performance tests to keep the results well organised.
The following information can be set:
- Name: Short name
- Description: Description of the test
- Goal: Goal of the test, is set this will be displayed in the test run summary.
- Enable/disable benchmarking: Enable if it makes sense to automagically benchmark test results for this dashboard, for instance for your nightly build test runs.
- Include ramp up period in benchmarks: if enabled, the ramp up period of the test will be included when evaluating metrics during benchmarking.
- Steady state reached after n (seconds): is used to set the starting point of determining the gradient (metric type = 'Gradient') of a regression line of a metric. (For instance to determine if JVM heap is growing during endurance test)
- Trigger test runs from Jenkins: Enable to link the dashboard to a Jenkins job, so this job can be started/stopped via the Jenkins rest API. Use the "search" icon to select a job from the configured Jenkins host.
