API Stability Short-Term

Syntax

graphql
createLocalClusterConnection(
       input: CreateLocalClusterConnectionInput!
    ): LocalClusterConnection!

For the input, you'll have to give the unique identifier or name of the multi-cluster and local view. Click on Show Query above to find the identifiers. See the Input Parameters section for details.
