Hi Elastic,

I want to ask is there a way I can configure my screenshot options in synthetic for all my monitor at once? For instance I have 150 monitors that i want to configure the screenshot options.

Thanks!

Hi @aisyaharifin,

If these are pushed monitors (aka [monitor-as-code](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/observability/current/synthetics-get-started-project.html)), you can specify a global screenshot policy at the project settings level:  
 ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/7/9/7988523eea8ac1e61670b7b87d5c0e5a285d3e95.png)

If you're referring to monitors created manually through Synthetics UI, there's no option in the UI to update monitors en-masse but you can still do it programmatically through API. You could iterate through all monitors performing a [partial update](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/update-monitor-api.html#_partial_updates), updating `screenshots` option.

Hope that helps!

Hi @emilioalvap

Can we disable capture for one of the steps? I need a function to disable capture so that I don't need to capture when inputting static captcha.

Hi @Ari_Wibowo ,

It’s not possible to disable screenshot capture for specific steps at the moment. I would suggest opening an issue explaining the required feature over at [GitHub - elastic/synthetics: Synthetic Monitoring with Real Browsers](https://github.com/elastic/synthetics).
