For example, to start a Monitor from the command line, use the start command with the parameter
type=monitor
:
scommand cmd=start url=
http://
<CloudTestURL>/concerto username=bob password=secret type=monitor name="/My Monitor"
If the Monitor starts successfully, scommand will output an instance ID that will be used to stop the Monitor later on. For example:
The monitor '/My Monitor' was loaded successfully, with instance ID '7781-c1ea3960c1ee041b:5e03cfcf:11929ca1f8e:-7ff4'.
The monitor has started.
In this example, you would stop the Monitor use the following command:
scommand cmd=stop url=
http://
<CloudTestURL> username=bob password=secret type=monitor instanceid="7781-c1ea3960c1ee041b:5e03cfcf:11929ca1f8e:-7ff4"
