Gatling report size seems excessive

Hello,

I’m running two users making 5K requests against a system each and the report size is between 8 and 10GB, This seems rather large, is there any way of reducing the report size?

I assume if I want to share the report with others I ship them the simulation.log and get them to run gatling over it with the -ro flag?

Cheers
Jono

I am not sure stakeholders would be keen to run their own reports. You could compress the reports and send them via email, attach them to a “Jira ticket”, commit to VCS and provide a link etc. Or you can use Python’s SimpleHTTPServer which “serves files from the current directory and below, directly mapping the directory structure to HTTP requests” ( https://docs.python.org/2/library/simplehttpserver.html ).

I also believe you should allow you stakeholders to view the tests in real-time. You could do this through some simple config change and two Docker commands. (https://github.com/bbc/gatling-load-tests#real-time-metrics)
