Linux Integration Issues

Since the Player will probably open a lot of network sockets, it is recommended that you increase the maximum number of files a process may open simultaneously to at least 65536. To do this, you can add the following lines to /etc/security/limits.conf file:
* soft nofile 65536
* hard nofile 65536

Playbook Tricks

The start_timer and end_timer actions can be used to measure and get a report about the execution time of a group of requests. Timer values will be displayed in the results with a name like __timer__<name>. For example:

actions:
  # some actions
  ...

  - start_timer:
    name: HomePage

  # other actions
  #- http:
  #    ...

  - end_timer:
    name: HomePage
This will create a measurement named __timer__HomePage in the result output.
