Synthetic Monitoring becomes Availability Monitoring

We have rebranded Synthetic Monitoring to Availability Monitoring as it more accurately describes the functionality. This key feature area of the Application Performance Monitoring services is used to proactively monitor any resource, from a host, network device, up to full application interfaces and UI. You can establish if those resources are available and perform as required and set targets that can be used as Service Level Agreement parameters.

New Availability Monitoring overview page:

Many customers use Availability Monitors to determine if their applications are up and running for Service Level Agreement reporting. In such cases it’s important that results can be quickly reviewed and navigated by users.

We have introduced a new overview page showing the results of all defined monitors right from the main APM menu making it easier to access the monitor results and drill down to individual monitor run details. From the overview page you can easily access all related resources like your monitor definitions, metric history, script resources and self-defined Vantage Point.
