Connections list actions¶
Several actions are available when placing your mouse over an existing connection in the list:
Icon | Action | Description |
---|---|---|
![]() |
Duplicate Connection | Lets you duplicate a connection in one click. You can then change the configuration of the duplicated connection. It's very useful if you have multiple identical servers that you want to monitor. |
![]() |
Check Connection | Lets you check a connection in one click. The icons displays a check successful / failed when the check operation is done (it may take some time to proceed). |
![]() |
Disable Connection | Lets you disable a connection in one click. This will prevent having monitoring metrics in the bench report when running a load test. Handy when you are testing multiple environments. |
