UI Elements	Description
Automatch: Dedicated Controller	At runtime, an available Controller host in the host pool of the project is allocated for the test run, and is dedicated for Controller functionality. Because it is a dedicated Controller, it cannot be allocated as a load generator as well. For details about host allocation, see Host Allocation.
Specific	Select this option if you want a specific Controller host. The grid lists the specific Controller hosts available in the project's host pool. Note: If a host is marked with a red asterisk (*), it is already assigned to a Vuser group as a load generator. Due to possible heavy load on the Controller and load generator hosts during a performance test, if a host is assigned to a Vuser group, it is best practice not to select it as a Controller as well.
