    • You can control how much bandwidth an application uses on your system by mapping system run levels to operational toggles. An excessive bandwidth could impact your system performance and your users' experience.

    Operational toggles overview

    You can use system run levels to map descriptive names to operational toggle levels. The system run level is the level that you have defined the system to operate within, using your toggles and toggle levels. You may want to throttle the performance of your application when your instance is experiencing high volumes of traffic. An example of an operational toggle that you can create is a type-ahead search polling toggle that helps the user complete searches faster. You can set operations to enable users to perform a type-ahead search that is based on keystroke values.

    Operational toggle levels

    You can create different levels of your desired toggle. For example, you may want to perform a type-ahead search every keystroke or every fifth keystroke. For more information about toggle levels, see Create an operational toggle level.

    Run level toggle mapping

    You can associate the system run level to the toggle level with toggle mapping. Depending on your instance health, the API returns the appropriate toggle level value and exception roles. For more information about run level toggle mapping, see. Create run level toggle mapping.
