Global Locations

Manage your API Monitoring and Testing Locations

Locations allow you to monitor your APIs from multiple sources around the globe or from an agent running within your infrastructure. When enabled for a test environment or shared environment, each test run using that environment's configured locations (scheduled or otherwise) will be initiated from all of the selected locations simultaneously.
