If you want It is possible to mask the value secretPa$$word in the Check Result page the following steps are required:

...

by adding the Store command to store the password as a variable with the prefix maskapica

When Synthetic Monitoring runs a check using this scenario the result will be saved with the executed scenario commands list as the example above. When Synthetic Monitoring shows the check result on the check results page Synthetic Monitoring will recognize that there is a command value which starts with maskapica.The is run with a scenario which utilizes a command which contains maskapica, the the command’s target will be masked on the the check results page:

...

The command value is shown in Details in the Details Result Scenario in the Value column.

Example
