How this template works
APIs Selection
The API selection filters in this template specify the criteria for selecting the API to be tested. In this case, the filters include the response code range (gte: 200, lt: 300) and the extraction of the URL as a variable (urlVar).
Execute request
The execute section defines the type of request to be executed and the specific request details. In this template, a single request is executed, and the URL is modified using the extracted URL variable (${urlVar}) to access the Actuator's HTTP trace endpoint.
Validation
The validation section defines the expected response criteria for the executed request. In this template, the response code is expected to be 200, and the response payload is expected to contain specific elements such as traces, timestamp, principal, and session.
