# Retest a monitor (Drata)

Re-runs one Drata monitoring test right away (the "Test now" button) instead of waiting for the daily check, then waits for the new result and returns the status before and after, with the failing and excluded resource counts. Takes the test number shown in the Drata UI (e.g. 7 for "Only Authorized Employees Change Code"). Requires being signed in to Drata.
