flentrc.example

## Sample rcfile for flent. Allows options to be specified
## on a global or per-test basis. The file is divided into sections with
## section headers between square brackets.
##
## Options specified in the [global] section apply to everything, while
## further sections specify options that are specific for the test name
## corresponding to the section name.
##
## Comments start with # or ;, and option names are case insensitive.
## The supported options are listed with commentary below. Options specified
## on the command line override options set in the rcfile.
##
## To use: Copy to ~/.flentrc and edit, or specify location of
## the file with --rcfile.

# Delay from start of test to the rest of the test starts (only some tests).

# Corresponding command line option: --delay

# Output file; defaults to standard output (or an interactive viewer for plots)
# if a graphical display is available. Note that for some output modes (e.g. plots),
# the output file name determines file format.

# Data file directory. Data files from test runs are stored in this directory.
# Defaults to the system tmpdir (e.g. /tmp)
# Corresponding command line option: --data-dir

# Whether to interpret multiple input files as being used to scale plots.
# If not set, multiple input files are interpreted to be plotted side-by-side.

# overridden from the command line.
# Corresponding command line option: --scale-mode

# Whether to plot each data series in a separate subplot when combining multiple

# Whether to always start y-axis from 0 (rather than scaling to the smallest

# Note that boolean options, if changed from the default, current cannot be
# overridden from the command line.
# Corresponding command line option: --zero-y

#
# Note that boolean options, if changed from the default, current cannot be
# overridden from the command line.
# Corresponding command line option: --invert-latency-y

# Whether to enable automatic log-scaling of plot axes.
# If not disabled here (or on the command line), log scales are enabled if
# the maximum data point is more than 20 times the value of the minimum.

# Note that boolean options, if changed from the default, current cannot be
# overridden from the command line.
# Corresponding command line option: --disable-log

# it may not be desireable to publish. See the man page for the list of

# Whether to always start a new GUI instance rather than attempt to connect

# List of batch file names to load -- to actually do a batch run, the batch name
# has to be passed in on the command line. This allows for having a persistent
# batch file specified in the rc file, which is always available for loading.
#
# Like with hosts, batch files specified here are overridden by batch files
# specified on the command line, meaning that if one or more batch files are
# passed on the command line, the files specified here are NOT loaded.

## Sections can specify settings overriding the global settings for
