Install the Controller

The Controller is used to:

• design scenarios using the GUI,
• manage the Load Generators during the test and collect test data,
• analyze the test results.

• Warning: We strongly recommend to configure a firewall to limit the access to the Load Generator only to the NeoLoad Controller(s) requiring to be connected. For more information about the use of firewalls, see Use a firewall between the Controller and a Load Generator.

• Warning: We strongly recommend to secure with SSL encryption the HTTP communication to the NeoLoad Controller REST APIs. Please refer to the "Encryption configuration" section of the REST APIs settings and follow the procedure to secure the communication.

• Information: The Controller has a built-in Load Generator and a built-in Monitoring Agent.
