Synthetic Monitoring: New Check Creation Flow

We’ve redesigned the check creation experience in Grafana Cloud Synthetic Monitoring.

This update is mostly a UX change to make check creation in the UI easier. The new UX also lets us plan for future enhancements to this flow.

The new flow focuses on making it easier to step through the process and addresses some core challenges customers have let us know about.

Specifically:

Introduction of a right side panel that persists through the entire flow
Ability to test your check at any step of the flow to validate your check executes as you expect
Improved the display of logs when testing a check
Brought Secrets Management into the check creation flow, so you don’t have to navigate to elsewhere to manage secrets

This new design is a foundational step that allows us to continue to iterate and improve the experience in Synthetic Monitoring.
