[[Image:interface22|archive file location]]  Specify archive file<br/>
The file to store metric archive results is specified here. 

[[Image:interface23|reset archive]]  Reset archive file<br/>
If the specified archive file already contains some archive information, this option will be sensitive. If it's enabled, the information contained in that archive file will be cleaned before new archive information is written to that file, otherwise, new archive information will be appended to that file. 

==Metric Archive Comparison==

After you specify two archive files you can compare them, as shown in the following image:
