Synthetic Monitors Availability

Balamurugesh — Wed, 25 May 2022 14:16:43 GMT

Hello, I am looking for an API which will provide Health Metrics of Synthetic monitors at a particular time. I could get these detials using Monitored entity API, but the issue is Monitored Entity API gives either "Healthy" or "UnHealthy" Metric details for a particular managementZone. I looking for single API call to get the Healthy" or "UnHealthy" Metric details.

Thanks in advance.

Hi @Balamurugesh,

Will builtin:synthetic.browser.availability.location.total:splitBy("dt.entity.synthetic_test") as a metric will help you?

Above request provides Availability metrics of monitors. I am looking for an API which will give if a moniotr is up or down at a particular time. Right now, am using below curl command:

Request:
curl -X GET "{url}/api/v2/entities?entitySelector=mzName%28%22{mzName}%22%29%2CTYPE%28%22{Monitor_Type}%22%29%2ChealthState%28%22HEALTHY%22%29"
-H "accept: application/json; charset=utf-8"
-H "Authorization: Api-Token {KEY}"

but the issue is, it provides either healthy or unhealthy details at a time. but am looking for an API which will give both details.

@Balamurugesh please pay attention to the resolution, from & to parameters in the call

In the follows example the resolution is 1d and the time frame is 90 days ago

curl -X GET "{dynatrace host}/api/v2/metrics/query?metricSelector=builtin%3Asynthetic.browser.availability.location.total%3AsplitBy%28%22dt.entity.synthetic_test%22%29&resolution=1d&from=now-90d&to=now" -H "accept: application/json; charset=utf-8" -H "Authorization: Api-Token {api token}"

You can run the query for the last 5minutes with 1 minute resolution and the get the availability per synthetic check, and now you can decide if 100% is up and less is down for example

explanations for setting resolution

And for from & to

Got it. Can i pass all the monitor types in the same request? in the above example you are passing Browser clickpath monitor, how to pass browser clickpath and HTTP ping in a single request?

For http checks you will need to use its metric: builtin:synthetic.http.availability.location.total

For finding all metrics you can look at metric page and filer them by text for example:
