How do requests differ from steps?

Steps are the concept present in all Synthetic monitors already, while the requests are a new concept introduced especially for NAM. The main difference between those two:  

  • Steps within NAM monitors are executed sequentially as for all synthetic tests. Failure of step n causes failure of the whole monitor, and as a result, steps n+1 and further are not executed.  
  • Requests within a single step are executed in parallel. Failure of a single request does not prevent Dynatrace from executing other requests.
