3540331 - Dynatrace Synthetic Browser Monitor

Symptom

The Synthetic Browser Monitor in Dynatrace is a tool designed to simulate real user interactions with web applications. By mimicking the behavior of actual users, it allows to proactively monitor the performance and availability of a site or application. This helps ensure that digital services are always running smoothly, delivering a positive user experience before issues impact real users. It runs automatically at scheduled intervals or continuously, providing insights into the performance and availability of web applications.

Synthetic monitoring helps spot performance degradation or downtime before it affects real users, allowing to take action early, improve user satisfaction, and prevent revenue loss. This makes it particularly valuable for tracking business-critical user journeys.

Key Features:

  • Simulate Real User Interactions

    • The monitor replicates actions like page navigation, button clicks, and form submissions to test the user experience on a site. This helps identify potential issues before they impact actual customers.

  • Global Monitoring from Multiple Locations

    • Synthetic monitors can be configured to run from different geographic locations to test how your application performs in various parts of the world. This ensures consistent performance for global users and provides insight into regional performance variations.

  • End-to-End Performance Monitoring

    • From page load times to script execution, the monitor tracks the entire user journey. It identifies slowdowns, performance bottlenecks, or failures at every step, ensuring that all key user interactions are smooth and fast.

  • Proactive Issue Detection

    • Since the Synthetic Browser Monitor runs continuously or at scheduled intervals, it enables you to detect performance issues early, before they affect real users. By proactively monitoring the user experience, it helps maintain high availability and reduce the risk of disruptions.

  • Detailed Root Cause Analysis

    • In the event of issues, Dynatrace provides diagnostic information that helps pinpoint the root cause of performance problems. With AI-driven automation, Dynatrace can identify and rank issues based on their business impact, helping your IT team resolve problems quickly and efficiently.
