The Endpoint Agents > Monitoring Settings > Automated Session Tests tab displays a table of all existing automated session tests:

To enable or disable an existing test:
- 1.
- 2.Click the Enabled toggle switch to set the test to either enabled (blue) or disabled (dark gray).
If the toggle is grayed out, the test has no labels assigned it that match any available agents, and cannot be enabled. Update the agents to run the test in order to enable it.
However, you can choose whether an automated session test can override the default prioritisation plan.

You can set the test to default priority by toggling off (grey) the Priortised toggle.
