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

```auto
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: */*

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

//Response body

<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,
