Environment

To define service settings globally, go to Settings > Server-side service monitoring.

Service

To define service settings for an individual service

  1. Go to Services.
  2. Select the service you want to configure.
  3. On the service overview page, select More (…) > Settings.

APIs are available for the majority of the settings.

Rules and settings on the service level override the ones defined globally.
