Session Timeout support

 

Now users will be automatically logged out after a configured amount of time being idle. For the definition of ‘idle’, viewing an open BlazeMeter tab, even if no action is performed, still counts as an activity. You can define the session timeout on an account level. The configuration is accessible on the  “Security” (previously “API Keys”) page in the Account settings and is accessible for admins and account owners:

Session Timeout

 

Once session timeout expires, the user will be logged out of BlazeMeter. In case there’s a BlazeMeter tab open when logged out, the user will get the following message, allowing him to re-login or refresh the page:

Logout

[Performance] Edit YML directly from test’s configuration

 

Up until now, changing a yaml file in a performance test was a long process of downloading, deleting and editing a file before uploading it back to the test. Based on customer feature requests, we added the option to edit YML scripts directly inside the script editor. We have also added an option to duplicate YML files, allowing users to keep the original script as a backup.

[API Monitoring] Locations Migrated from AWS/Rackspace to GCP

 

We have transitioned 11 of our API Monitoring Cloud locations from AWS and 1 location from Rackspace, to their respective Google Cloud Platform (GCP) locations. They are: US Virginia, US California, US Oregon, Germany, Australia, Singapore, Hong Kong, Japan, Brazil, India, Canada, and London. The region codes for those locations continue to be the same, and users should not see any impact to their tests. For the complete list of locations and their providers, please check out our docs.
