Synthetic Monitoring

Overview

Synthetic Monitoring allows you to observe your systems and application's performance using simulated requests from global locations. You can simulate network traffic and measure its performance under various constraints and conditions. Anticipate performance issues, prevent impact on end-users, and efficiently detect and troubleshoot network issues.

Request Types

HTTP

HTTP requests monitoring is a technique used to monitor the performance and availability of web applications or websites. It involves simulating HTTP requests and measuring the response time, status code, and content of the response.

SSL

SSL monitoring is a technique used to monitor the performance and availability of SSL/TLS certificates used by web applications or websites. It involves simulating SSL/TLS handshakes and measuring the certificate validation time, certificate expiration, and other certificate-related metrics.

DNS

DNS synthetic monitoring is a technique used to monitor the performance and availability of DNS servers and DNS resolution for a domain name. It involves simulating DNS queries and measuring the response time and accuracy of the DNS server.

WebSocket

WebSocket test synthetic monitoring is a technique used to monitor the performance and availability of WebSocket connections used by web applications. It involves simulating WebSocket connections and measuring the response time, message delivery time, and message accuracy.

UDP

UDP (User Datagram Protocol) synthetic monitoring is a technique used to monitor the performance and availability of UDP connections used by network applications. It involves simulating UDP packets and measuring the response time, packet loss, and other metrics.

ICMP

ICMP (Internet Control Message Protocol) synthetic monitoring is a technique used to monitor the performance and availability of network connections using ICMP packets. It involves simulating ICMP packets and measuring the response time, packet loss, and other metrics.

TCP

TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) synthetic monitoring is a technique used to monitor the performance and availability of TCP connections used by network applications. It involves simulating TCP connections and measuring the response time, packet loss, and other metrics.

gRPC

gRPC synthetic monitoring is a technique used to monitor the performance and availability of gRPC connections used by network applications. It involves simulating gRPC requests and measuring the response time, error rate, and other metrics

Public IP Addresses

Our synthetic agent is designed to test different networks and protocols of your application. If your system has restricted access to certain networks only, you will need to whitelist the following public IP addresses of our infrastructure. This will allow our synthetic agent to access your services for monitoring.
