The kill switch

The kill switch stops every connector at once. Agents get a refusal for every call until you turn connectors back on. You can also switch off one connector.

Stop every connector#

  1. Open the Connections tab.
  2. Click Disable all connectors in the header. A dialog asks Disable all connectors?
  3. Click Disable all. The header shows All connectors are disabled and a Turn back on button.

While the switch is on:

  • every agent call is refused, run_on included,
  • calls that waited for approval are declined,
  • results of calls that are still running are held back from the agent,
  • held pages of long results are dropped,
  • agents cannot propose or test new connectors,
  • the Send a request panel cannot send.

Caution

the kill switch does not stop a command that already started on a server. It keeps running there until it ends or times out. An upload in progress is cut off, which can leave a partial file on the server.

Turn connectors back on#

Click Turn back on in the header. Agents can call connections again at once.

Stop one connector#

  1. Open the Connections tab and click Connectors.
  2. Find the connector and click Disable.

Every connection of that connector stops. Its cards show disabled. Click Enable to turn it back on.
