Verify that a configured integration can connect to its external endpoint before saving.
Before you begin
You must have an administrator role in the automation orchestrator.
You must have completed the integration details on the Configure integration wizard or opened an existing integration with Edit integration.
Procedure
On the integration configuration form, complete all required fields.
Click Test connection.
The system attempts to connect to the configured endpoint using the provided health check credential. The test must complete within the configured timeout (10 seconds by default). LLM Provider and MCP Server integrations also discover available resources during the connection test.
Review the test result.
Success: A confirmation message indicates that the endpoint is reachable. You can proceed to save the integration.
Failure: An error message describes the issue. Common causes include:

The endpoint uses a certificate that the Orchestrator does not trust.
Verify the endpoint certificate configuration.
