New alerting options in Synthetic Monitoring

Available in private previewSynthetic Monitoring
Release date: 2025-03-31

We’re excited to announce the private preview release of new alerting capabilities for Synthetic Monitoring.

You can now create alerts for each check in your Synthetic Monitoring application. For example, you can create an alert based on the number of check failures in a specific time window, with different settings for each one of your checks.

In addition to failed checks, you can also create an alert if a TLS certificate is set to expire within a certain number of days.

The default alert rules based on sensitivity thresholds can still be used in combination with per-check alert rules. Per-check alert rules give users more granular control over their alerting needs, and make it easier for users to configure the right alert threshold depending on the services they’re monitoring and the check settings.

To learn more, refer to the per-check alerts docs.
