Synthetics: Default performance threshold

[AntonPineiro]

Hi,

We can enable performance threshold for Synthetic monitoring. If we do not specify any static value:

Dynatrace is going to raise an alert base on some automatic baseline?

Is static threshold value mandatory?

Hi Anton,

I believe it's based on the average of the last 24 hours as mentioned in the documentation.

Thank for your link. My doubt is because they say:

You specify a static performance time in seconds (to meet an SLA, for example). You can base this number on the displayed average performance over the last 24 hours. Average performance values are displayed for the monitor as a whole as well as for individual events.

I am not sure if this is covering when you do not specify a static threshold.

Seems that you have to put some rules to make sure that the threshold is applied and the performance is monitored.

Hi @islam_zidan,

I have just confirmed with Dynatrace support, a value must be set. If it is empty, no problem is going to be generated.

I have just raised this product idea to force a value to user in the UI. It might be less confusing.

Best regards
