Before running any full-scale test, you will want to calibrate the test beforehand.

You have successfully installed a private location! The following information goes over how to use your new private location:

• Private Location Options and Details
• Agent Options and Details
• How to Run Private Location Tests

Private Location Options and Details

1. Log into your BlazeMeter account and click on the cog in the top right corner of the screen.
2. Then click on 'Workspaces' => 'Private Locations'.You should see a list of all your private locations.
3. Click on one of them and you will see its details and a list of its agents which are the on-premise servers that have our agent installed on them.

Every private location will have the following details:

	On the top left-hand side of the page, the switch will disable/enable the private location. This is useful for when you are handling maintenance on the agents in the private location and you do not want users running tests on this location during that period.
	Clicking this button will refresh the private location page, giving you the latest status of the agents within the private location.
	This button will open up the 'Edit private location' window. The same Setup and Functionalities options from the 'Create a private location' dialogs are available here. Once you have applied the changes you want, click the 'Apply' button to save them. The Delete location option will appear at the bottom left-hand corner of the window and will PERMANENTLY delete the private location after accepting the prompt. NOTE: This DOES NOT delete the installed agent. This must be manually done following this process.

• Id - The Harbor ID of the private location
• Type - The private location type (Dedicated or Shared)
• Engines per agent - The number of engines/tests that can run on one agent
• Max Threads per engine - The maximum number of users that can run per test/engine
• Console - JVM XMS and XMX settings for each test/engine
• Engine - JVM XMS and XMX settings for each test/engine (only used with Legacy JMeter tests)
• Agents - GIves a count of all agents in the private location and a count of their statuses
• + Add Agent - Used to add an agent to the private location

Agent Options and Details

1. Log into your BlazeMeter account and click on the cog in the top right corner of the screen.
2. Then click on 'Workspaces' => 'Private Locations'.You should see a list of all your private locations.
3. Click on one of them and you will see its details and a list of its agents which are the on-premise servers that have our agent installed on them.

Each agent will have the following information that you can view:

• Name - Name of the agent
• Id - Ship ID of this agent
• Created - Date the agent was created
• Address - IP addresses of the agent
• Status - The status of the agent. See below for the list of statuses:
  

  	It looks good and is ready to be used.
  	A test is currently using this Agent as a load engine.
  	The Agent is not sending a heartbeat and there's probably something wrong with the server.
  	The Agent is in the process of downloading and updating images used for the OPL install.
  	The Agent has not sent a heartbeat in more than 3 months.

• Last Heartbeat - Last time a heartbeat was sent to BlazeMeter
• Description - Contains the details on any currently running tests or process on this agent
• Actions - The actions you can use on an agent. See below for the list of actions:
  
  

  Edit	Use this to change the agent's name or IP address.
  Reset	Use this to stop any running tests on the machine and bring the agent to an 'Idle' status. Be careful when using this as it will not stop the report if it is still showing as running.
  Regenerate	Use this to regenerate the agent. Use for re-installations, which are detailed in this article.
  Disable	Use this to disable the ability to run tests on a specific agent. For example, you may want to do this if you have an unstable server that you'd rather not use.
  Delete	Use this to remove a specific agent from your private location as long as it is not in a 'Running' status.
  Force Delete	Use this to forcibly remove a specific agent from your private location. This will delete an agent that is already in a 'Running' status.

How to Run Private Location Tests

NOTE: Before running any full-scale test, you will want to calibrate the test beforehand.

1. Create a new test or go to an existing test saved in your BlazeMeter Workspace.
2. In the test configuration page, you will find your private location under 'Private Locations' (typically at the bottom of the list).
3. Once the test is running, you'll be able to see the agent/s that are currently running the test and information about this session in your private location section.
