Specifies the name and location of the input REST file used to define your endpoints for sampling. This file allows you to specify multiple endpoints, define POST requests, and configure paging. You will need to create and specify an input REST file if your session:
*Accesses multiple endpoints
*Issues POST requests
*Accesses endpoints that require paging
*Accesses endpoints that use custom HTTP headers
*Uses custom HTTP response code processing
*Requires a custom authentication flow
