How to check the IP Address used for a Browser Monitor execution
Step 1: Identify the Browser Monitor execution
- Open the Browser Monitor details page
- Select Analyze executions
- Make a note of:
- The Browser Monitor name
- The execution time you want to investigate
These details are required to locate the corresponding user session.
Step 2: Locate the matching user session
- Navigate to Session Segmentation
- Filter by the Browser Monitor name.
- Select the user session that matches the execution time you identified earlier.
Step 3: Check the IP address in Session details
On the Session details screen, you can see the IP address used for that Browser Monitor execution.
This is the source IP that was used when the Synthetic Browser Monitor ran.
Important Notes
- Browser Monitors run from Synthetic locations, not from the Dynatrace cluster itself.
- The IP address you see corresponds to the specific execution and location used.
- This information is useful when troubleshooting network‑related Browser Monitor failures.
