Add a Map Remote rule#

Map Remote sends matching requests to a different host or path. It is the fastest way to send all production traffic to staging without a change to the client.

Add a Map Remote rule#

1. Open the Map Remote sub-tab.
2. Select + Add new rule at the bottom of the list. A new empty row appears.
3. Fill in the source field on the left. This is the host or URL prefix to match.
4. Fill in the target field on the right. This is where matching traffic should go instead.

Switch a redirect on or off#

The toggle on the left of the row controls whether the rule is active. New rules start enabled. Turn it off to keep the rule on disk without a redirect.

When the rule fires#

A rule fires whenever the captured request URL starts with the source string. GraphDagger rewrites the whole URL to the target and keeps anything after the matched prefix. So a source of prod.example.com and a target of https://staging.example.com rewrites https://prod.example.com/users/42 to https://staging.example.com/users/42.

For richer matching (regex with capture groups, conditional rewrites), see Map Remote with regex.

Remove a rule#

The trash icon at the right of each row deletes the rule. There is no confirmation dialog. You can add the rule again by hand if you need it.

Test a redirect first#

To check a rule against a sample URL without firing a real request, see Testing a Map Remote.
