You can choose which monitors to execute. Specify:

  • A list of selected monitors.

  • Monitors assigned to a particular frontend application.

Besides, you can use expressions to extract the list of monitors and locations from incoming events, enabling you to build a reusable workflow.

Use cases

  • Integrate Synthetic for Workflows with your CI/CD pipelines and build an automated process for release validation along with Site Reliability Guardian.
  • Use Synthetic for Workflows to automate checks on your critical user journeys, ensuring they function correctly every time there's a change, such as in the infrastructure configuration or when a problem occurs.
  • Customize your Synthetic schedules to accommodate various platform events, particularly when operational conditions can change rapidly.

Get started

To integrate Synthetic Monitoring into your custom workflows, first install Synthetic for Workflows in your environment. Then use the synthetic_for_workflows action in your automated workflows.

Before you begin, ensure that all monitors are properly defined.

Please use the Synthetic app to create a new synthetic monitor.
