Program Arguments

• -GetBGP=true [true|false (default)] if you want BGP test data collected
• -GetHTTP=true [true|false (default)] if you want HTTP request test data collected (false is default if not set)
• -GetHttpMetrics=true [true|false (default)] if you want HTTP routing test data collected (false is default if not set)
• -GetNetPathViz=true [true|false (default)] if you want Network Visualization Tests (false is default if not set)

HINT: please be aware of the API request limit per minute .. if you have many tests and collect all details it's pretty sure that you're going to it.

• Just for debugging purpose: -RetrospectionPeriod You can set the period of time it queries into the past, e.g. -RetrospectionPeriod 12h. Large values do not make much sense, because we do not get data about when they started or ended. Just that they existed.
