How to Increase terminal log size in Gatling on Gitlab runner?

Gatling (Open-Source)
1

Gatling version: 3.11.3 (must be up to date)

Hi, I have a test run that needs to log failed result on terminal screen in Gitlab Runner.
Everything was fine until runner suddenly marked the test run as failed, checking a little bit, I took a wild guess that Gatling may reach the maximum log size on terminal. Is there a way that I could increase the terminal log limit in Gatling?
.
Although I may be mistaken, I remembered that if Gatling reaches log size, it will simply continue to run without any terminal output. Can I get confirm on this too ?
.
Thanks for helping me

Hello,

I doubt that Gatling is the issue, but can you share with me the error you have on your terminal?

Hi Samir,
Sadly, Runner terminated itself while Gatling log was still on-screen. But you can try with some test that returns lots of data to quickly fill up.
But yes I don’t heavily doubt Gatling on this, but if it were Runner side, it may show something as
“Job log has been exceeded x size”

Can you relaunch one runner or the issue don’t always happen?

It happens once a while, I will try to get access to this Runner to see what happened

Hi @Samir
I’ve encountered this issue again, but I connected directly to Runner and saw that Gatling is still running, only Runner’s side got problem.
So to avoid this, I have increased writeInterval period from 5s to 60s, now everything is okay.
Thanks for your kind help.
