Run URLs
Run URLs are configurable links available as quick-access shortcuts for each host in the table. They can contain variables that are dynamically replaced with host data.
Concept
A Run URL is a URL template with placeholders. When you click the URL, the placeholders are replaced with the actual values of the host and the URL is opened in the browser.
Example:
https://monitoring.company.com/host/{hostname}Becomes for the host "web01":
https://monitoring.company.com/host/web01Managing Run URLs
Access management via Settings > Run URLs.
