How to check if a Synthetic Monitor location is offline?

Wyatt — Thu, 11 Jul 2024 15:23:39 GMT

Is there any API call that will tell me if a synthetic location is online or offline?

{
"locationId": "SYNTHETIC_LOCATION-xxx",
"status": "location_offline",
}

I've tried 'GET - api/v1/synthetic/locations'... but this will just tell me if a location is disabled/enabled. I've found that enabled locations can also be offline.

"locations": [ { "name": "Location Name", "entityId": "SYNTHETIC_LOCATION-x1", "type": "PRIVATE", "status": "ENABLED" }, { "name": "Location2 Name", "entityId": "SYNTHETIC_LOCATION-x2", "type": "PRIVATE", "status": "ENABLED" }

Thanks,

-Wyatt

There are several dsfm options that are helpful here, they are all related to utilization of the Synthetic engine

dsfm:synthetic.engine_utilization dsfm:synthetic.browser.engine_utilization dsfm:synthetic.http.engine_utilization dsfm:synthetic.http_high_resource.engine_utilization

You can find them mentioned here in our private location details documentation. They can be retrieved using the metrics v2 API

There are also a couple of location metrics that you may be interested in.
