HINT: please be aware of the API request limit per minute .. if you have many tests and collect all details it's pretty sure that you're going to it.
- Just for debugging purpose:
-RetrospectionPeriodYou can set the period of time it queries into the past, e.g.-RetrospectionPeriod 12h. Large values do not make much sense, because we do not get data about when they started or ended. Just that they existed.
