Where can I see logs from api.info() / api.warn() / api.error() in Synthetic JavaScript steps?

Hi,

I’m working with Synthetic monitors (Browser / JavaScript steps) and I’m trying to understand where logs generated via JavaScript APIs are actually visible.

In my JavaScript step I’m using:

• api.info()

• api.warn()

• api.error()

What I tried so far

• DQL

  • fetch dt.synthetic.events
    → Events are returned, but there is no column with the log message from api.info / warn / error.

  • fetch dt.synthetic.detailed_events
    → This returns no data at all for my monitor executions.

• UI

  • According to the documentation:
    https://docs.dynatrace.com/docs/observe/digital-experience/synthetic-monitoring/analysis-and-alertin...
    these messages should be visible under “Analyze execution details”.

  • However, when I navigate there, I’m redirected to the MDA-based execution details view, and I don’t see any section that contains the messages written via api.info / warn / error.

Questions

1. Where are the messages from api.info(), api.warn(), and api.error() actually stored?

2. Are they:

   • available via DQL, and if yes – which entity/table?

   • visible only in a specific UI view?

3. Is this behavior different for:

   • Browser monitors vs HTTP monitors?

   • Classic Synthetic vs MDA-based Synthetic?

At the moment I can trigger failures and events successfully, but I can’t find the actual log-style messages anywhere, neither in DQL nor in the UI.

Any clarification would be greatly appreciated 🙂

Thanks in advance,
Deni

Besides clickpath replay using the browser extension, I don't think I've seen those anywhere else. But definitely, this is a very good question. Maybe @HannahM knows?
