Benefits of Synthetic Monitoring Identify failures before users report them Continuously test your business-critical endpoints and user workflows. Detect unavailable services, slow response times, and broken flows before teams feel the impact. Troubleshoot faster with service context Monitor results linked to Service Mapping, CMDB, and Event Management. In one place, see what’s broken, what depends on it, who owns it, and where alerts flow—without stitching data across tools. Don’t just detect downtime, prevent it Identify degrading performance before it becomes an outage. Set thresholds that trigger alerts when services slow down, not just when they fail. Monitor from where your users are Run synthetic tests from multiple locations—data centers, cloud regions, or inside your network. Catch regional performance issues and routing failures that backend monitoring can’t see.
Features of Synthetic Monitoring Auto-generate synthetic monitors from incidents Turn incidents into prevention by automatically creating synthetic monitors from real failures. Every outage strengthens your monitoring, automates follow-on reliability workflows, and reduces the risk of repeat issues. Monitor private and public endpoints Validate your internal services and APIs with the same visibility as external endpoints—no special tooling required. Use Agent Client Collector (ACC) or MID Server to test anything, anywhere. Track service impact to spot recurring issues When a monitor fails, identify which services are affected, not just which endpoint went down. Track historical trends and know if issues are recurring or new. Route alerts with full context When monitors detect failures, alerts flow to the right team with service ownership and dependency data. The right team gets what they need to act without hunting for context or performing manual triage.
