Sample maven project ([https://github.com/gatling/gatling-maven-plugin-demo](https://github.com/gatling/gatling-maven-plugin-demo)) saves reports with results in ‘target’ directory, though gatling.conf file says that default directory for reports is ‘results’:  
#results = results # Name of the folder where all reports folder are located  
There is also class IDEPathHelper.scala with ‘resultsDirectory’ variable.  
Could anyone explain why reports are not saved in ‘results’ directory and how it can be achieved.

For Gatling Maven plugin, the defaults are given here [http://gatling.io/docs/2.2/extensions/maven\_plugin/](http://gatling.io/docs/2.2/extensions/maven_plugin/)

You can configure the result folder in the pom.xml - plugin configuration:

```auto
<resultsFolder>${project.basedir}/target/gatling/results</resultsFolder>

```
