Configure Monitoring for Partner Account
Partners can create or update a k9 customer account monitoring configuration using the k9 API with:
PUT /partner/{partnerId}/customer/{partnerCustomerId}/account/{accountId}
When you successfully store an account configuration, the account will be included in k9 Security's daily analysis. You can also trigger an analysis of the account for immediate execution.
