To create SOAP requests on synthetic HTTP monitor, we need a sample HTTP Request & Response information like below,

Note:- This is the sample request and response which uses the dummy urls 
<!-- REQUEST ---------------------------------------------------->
POST https://www.dynatrace.com/additioncalculator //Post url

//Request Headers
Accept: */*
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/107.0.0.0 Safari/537.36
Accept-Language: en-us
Accept-Encoding: gzip
Host: www.dynatrace.com
SOAPAction: https://www.dynatrace.com/additioncalculatoraction
Content-Type: text/xml
Content-Length: 256
Connection: Keep-Alive
Authorization: Basic Testing


//Request Body
<?xml version="1.0" standalone="yes"?>
<soap:Envelope xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:req="https://www.dynatrace.com/">
    <soap:Body>
        <request:Addition>
            <request:input1>10</request:input1>
            <request:input2>20</request:input2>
        </request:Addition>
    </soap:Body>
</soap:Envelope>

<!-- RESPONSE --------------------------------------------------->

//Response Headers
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Cache-Control: private, max-age=0
Date: Tue, 01 Nov 2022 10:28:08 GMT
Content-Length: 298
Content-Type: text/xml; charset=utf-8
Content-Encoding: gzip
Server: Microsoft-IIS/10.0
Vary: Accept-Encoding

//Response body
<?xml version="1.0" standalone="yes"?>
<soap:Envelope xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
    <soap:Body>
        <AdditionResponse xmlns="http://www.dynatrace.com/">
            <AdditionResult>30</AdditionResult>
        </AdditionResponse>
    </soap:Body>
</soap:Envelope>

Based on the above information, we can create the synthetic HTTP monitor by adding the post urls, request headers, Basic Authentication details and request body like below,
