Synthetic ActiveGate for NAM-only usage without Chromium

[Miro]

Dear Team,

Could you please clarify whether :

- is the NAM  for PING/TCP/DNS checks dependent on Chromium (is Chromium used for any of the NAM checks?)  ?

- Is there a way to install/deploy an Synthetic ActiveGate  without Chromium for NAM-only Synthetic ActiveGate ?

Thanks

[JerzyS]

Hi Miro,

- Chromium is not used for execution of NAM monitors,

- currently Chromium installation cannot be skipped, but browserless private locations are in the works.

Regards,
Jerzy

Hello @JerzyS ,

thanks for the clarification.

The obvious follow-up question - is there some rough ETA for  browser-less/chromium-dependency-less private location  Synthetic AG release ( March, May,... Autumn 2025), please  ?  

Thanks 

Miro
