Switching On and Off

An endpoint is a specific destination for a message. Endpoints can be switched on and off as required. This is functionality allows endpoints to be temporarily deactivated to avoid performance issues that result from heavy traffic.

Switching on and off is available only for defined endpoints, which are endpoints saved in the Synapse configuration. You cannot switch off dynamic endpoints, which are saved in the registry.
