Worker groups

Edit online

In the Worker groups page, you can create, store, and manage worker groups.

To access this page, navigate to Global Settings > Worker groups.

In the worker group list, you can perform these actions:
  • Search for a group by name.
  • Sort groups by their name, description, active workers, inactive workers, terminated workers, total workers, or whether they validate certificates or not.
  • Enable or disable a group’s ability to validate security certificates when its workers make API requests.
  • View the list of workers for a group, and sort that list by all visible columns.
    Note:
    • Active workers are considered to be fully operational, while terminated workers are treated as permanently deactivated.
    • Starting in 1.1.4, for each worker group, you can specify the expected number of active workers. In the worker group list, if the number of active workers for a group is less than expected, a warning is shown.
