Overview

Multistep Synthetic Monitoring Requests create robust methods for simulating system-wide interactions and transactions. Multistep Requests lets response values from one Step be passed to successive Steps in a single Monitor, creating a chain of requests that can be used to simulate complex behaviors.

​

Limitations

If you have more than one step in your Monitor, all assertions will be applied to every step.
