Synthetic monitoring entails proactively mimicking user visits, regardless of whether real users are currently on your site. An HTTP monitor uses simple HTTP requests. A browser monitor does more than that; it runs genuine web browser sessions that support HTML5 and AJAX.
Single-URL browser monitors
A single-URL browser monitor is the same as a simulated user using a modern, up-to-date web browser to visit your application. Browser monitors can be set up to run every five minutes from any of our public or private sites around the world. Browser monitors will notify you if your application is inaccessible or its baseline performance has dramatically deteriorated.

Browser clickpaths
Browser click paths are simulated user visits that track the business-critical workflows of your application. You can utilize script mode to record a precise sequence of clicks and user input that you want to keep track of for performance and availability. Once you’ve captured the mouse clicks and different user behaviors you want to include in your browser click route, you can schedule it to run regularly from our global public or private locations to analyze your site’s availability and performance.
HTTP monitors
Simple HTTP requests make up HTTP monitors. You can use them to find out if single-resource API endpoints are available. You can also track whether or not your API endpoints are available. Can also set performance criteria for HTTP monitors. HTTP monitors, like browser monitors, operate at regular intervals from our global public or private locations.
Can use HTTP monitors run by an ActiveGate from a private Synthetic location to examine the availability of internal resources that aren’t reachable from the outside. Note that capacity utilization for a subclass of high-resource HTTP monitors measures independently in private locations. Exceptional resource-intensive capabilities, such as pre-or post-execution scripts, OAuth2 authorization, or Kerberos authentication, are available on these monitors.
Supported browsers
Google Chrome is the supported browser (latest version, backward compatible). When you create or change a browser monitor, the browser used to execute browser monitors from public locations is mentioned on the Frequency and locations page. See Browser monitors in remote places for Chromium versions to install on a Synthetic-enabled ActiveGate running private browser monitors.
Synthetic monitor security
You can also learn about the security architecture of credential vaults for synthetic monitoring credentials.
