Synthetic Monitoring
Overview
Synthetic Monitoring is a black box monitoring solution provided as part of Grafana Cloud. It lets you assess your systems’ availability, performance, and correctness by emulating user behavior from global probe locations.
Each execution of a check simulates a single user performing a single iteration from one location. This ensures consistent, lightweight monitoring that reflects real-world access patterns and allows for alerting and predictable scheduling.
With Grafana Play, you can explore and see how it works, learning from practical examples to accelerate your development. This feature can be seen on Synthetic Monitoring.
