Synthetic Performance Monitoring Tools

Synthetic Monitoring

Simulate user experiences, pre-empt potential issues, and ensure 24x7 availability.

Synthetic monitoring simulates a user's journey through a website or application, to ensure the functionality of the critical elements in it. Monitoring synthetic transactions can also help SREs and DevOps engineers identify issues, and determine the slow responses and downtime before it affects the actual business. Applications Manager's synthetic monitoring tool helps you ensure a seamless experience for your users on all major desktop browsers.

Synthetic monitoring tools like Applications Manager can help you get answers to questions like:

  • Is my website available 24x7?
  • How fast is my website at this moment?
  • Are my key business transactions working?
  • How are the third party components operating?
  • Is there a failure or slowdown anywhere?

Visualize user's experience through your web applications with synthetic testing

Applications Manager's synthetic transaction monitoring enables you to create and implement an effective monitoring strategy to keep an eye on the both the back and front end of your applications to ensure meaningful and relevant experiences to end users.

Track critical components and metrics

Applications Manager's Real Browser Monitor(RBM) replicates the user's behaviour through the web applications and uses behavioural scripts to describe the path that would be taken by a end-user on the site. Real Browser Monitor consists of two components - Web transaction recorder and End-User Monitoring(EUM) agents. With the help of the pre-installed EUM agents, simulate user's journey though your website, track and monitor key synthetic user monitoring metrics, periodically and remotely from various geographic locations where the Agents are installed. Accurately pinpoint the root cause of latency issues, be it CSS, web fonts, images, JavaScript, or any other resource that is invoked, and optimize it.

Monitor the behaviour of your webpages

Applications Manager's synthetic monitoring features extend to recording the web transactions of individual URLs and URL sequences with Web Transaction Recorder. It records the user's simulated transactions as they navigate through the website and captures the HTTPS/HTTP request URLs in their exact sequence. You can even detect bad response codes by performing response code configuration on the synthetic monitor.

Get comprehensive details about your URL sequences

Get extensive details about your webpages like availability, response times of individual URLs, DNS time, and page size. Detect slow performance by monitoring the page load time and response times of various elements. Our synthetic monitoring tool helps you evaluate whether applications meet your SLA requirements, and measure the impact it has on users.

With our Web Page Analyzer, you can capture screenshots of your transaction, to gain better insights, especially during downtime. Additional details about the captured webpage such as the types of resources used and the time taken to load each resource is also provided.

Gain insight into the behaviour of your websites all over the map

Understand how your applications and services behave for your users around the world. Applications Manager's synthetic website monitoring service allows you to measure the end-user experience from both local and remote locations, and provides you with critical details like health, availability and status of the services.

You can combine Applications Manager's synthetic website monitoring with real user monitoring (RUM) capabilities to achieve all-round high performance.

Additionally, keep a close eye on various web elements

  • With Applications Manager's synthetic monitor, besides monitoring your web applications, you can monitor the availability, uptime and performance of various web elements like web servers, web services(DNS servers, ping, Telnet, TCP/IP ports, SNMP, NPS, UDP, LDAP, etc), REST APIs, and email servers.
  • With Applications Manager's web services monitoring capabilities, you can also add at-risk/time intensive scripts, SNMP/JMX dashboards, DB queries and files to be monitored separately with the help of custom monitor.

Evaluate and analyze application performance with intelligent reports

Applications Manager's advanced analytics gives you rich, actionable insights into your webpages' performance. Utilize the synthetic monitoring dashboard to analyze the historical trends of critical parameters concerning various components of your services such as availability, response and load times, and more. By tracking the trends, you can anticipate downtime and make educated decisions accordingly.
