View the check dashboard

Each check in Synthetic Monitoring has a dedicated dashboard that displays key performance metrics over time. The dashboard provides a comprehensive view of your check’s health, including uptime percentage, reachability from each probe location, average latency, and error rates.

  1. Review the Uptime panel to see the percentage of successful checks over the selected time range.

  2. Review the Reachability panel to see how often the target responds from each probe location.

  3. Review the Average latency panel to see response times from each probe location.

  4. Use the probe filter at the top of the dashboard to focus on specific locations.

  5. Use the time picker to adjust the time range for the displayed data.

Explore the time point explorer

The check dashboard includes a time point explorer, a specialized visualization that combines logs and metrics to provide a detailed view of individual check executions.

To investigate a specific execution:

  1. Locate the Time point graph, and click on a specific data point in the graph.

  2. Review the Time point viewer at the bottom to see the logs, response headers, and execution details for that specific moment.

In the next milestone, you’ll review what you’ve accomplished in this journey.
