Starting the LoadGen Cloud Studio for the first time
After the LoadGen Cloud Studio is installed you need to perform a couple of additional steps. This process will be optimized in the near future as we will release the LoadGen Marketplace soon. For now, follow the next steps:
- Start the LoadGen Cloud Studio
- The LoadGen Cloud Studio will start and ask for your LoadGen Cloud credentials.
- After logging in to the LoadGen Cloud Studio, choose your Target Environment. This makes sure you can connect to the correct environment.
- Now you will see the Select Flow (Workload) form. You can cancel this form, as this is just a placeholder, you now need to create a new Workload or upload our default End-to-End Workload (which you can download here).
- Choose either New (which will lead you through the new workload wizard) or Open (where you can upload an existing workload). We will proceed with opening a workload.
- After you downloaded the default LoadGen workload, choose the Open From Disk option.
- When the workload is opened, you can directly Publish the first version of it.
- Press the Publish, choose your earlier created placeholder workload (in the LoadGen Cloud Profile), or create a New simulation flow.
- Then choose to create a new version.
- Enter a description for this version and choose Upload.
- Now you are ready to customize your workload.
