Synthetics monitoring is a powerful tool for monitoring the performance of websites and applications. It allows you to test the availability, responsiveness, and performance of web pages and applications from multiple locations around the world. If you’re using New Relic to monitor the performance of your applications, then you’ll want to set up synthetics monitoring as well. This article will show you how to do that.
Setting Up Synthetics Monitoring
The first step to setting up synthetics monitoring in New Relic is to create a synthetic monitor. This can be done from the New Relic Synthetics dashboard. From there, you can create a monitor that runs tests from multiple locations to check the availability, responsiveness, and performance of your website or application.
You can also customize the monitor to run tests at specific times, and to check for specific performance metrics. After you’ve created the monitor, you can then configure it to run tests from multiple locations. You can also set up alerts to be sent when the monitor detects any issues with the performance of your website or application.
Configuring Synthetics Monitoring in New Relic
Once you’ve created the synthetic monitor, you’ll need to configure it in New Relic. To do this, you’ll need to go to the New Relic Synthetics dashboard and select the monitor you created. From there, you can configure the monitor to run tests from multiple locations. You can also set up alerts to be sent when the monitor detects any issues with the performance of your website or application.
Once you’ve configured the monitor, you’ll be able to view the results of the tests in the New Relic Synthetics dashboard. You’ll be able to see the performance metrics from each location, as well as the overall performance of your website or application.
Synthetics monitoring is a powerful tool for monitoring the performance of websites and applications.
