Alerts for synthetic monitor

suresh230591 — Fri, 19 Jan 2018 09:32:02 GMT

Can we set a custom threshold for webcheck timeseries metrics like Visually Complete, Speed
index, Network Time, Server Time and create alerts for those.

Apart from webcheck Global Outage and Synthetic Monitor performance threshold violation, Is there any other alert we can set for synthetic monitor.

Hi Suresh,

currently this is not possible but it is definitely a good idea 🙂 Could you please go ahead and post this in the product ideas forum.

Thank you, Philipp

@Phillipp K., do Dynatrace, automatically alert on any other metric? Baselines etc.

Hi Ray, the default behavior is to only alert on availability. You can configure a performance threshold for the action duration (whole test or specific steps) in the synthetic monitor settings.

This can now be done using metric events. You can choose the metric you would like to alert from, Synthetic metrics listed here and then set the threshold etc on the metric events page.
