The parameters for the folder are broken into two sections:

* **Global:** Global parameters can be applied to all of the Checks in the folder.  For example, when using the AWS Connector, "**Region**" is a Global parameter.  If specified, all of the healthchecks will be run in that region.

* Connector parameters override global. &#x20;
  * If the global "Region" is set to "us-west-2", but a check's region is set to "eu-west-1" the check's value will be used.
