Synthetic User Monitoring

Synthetic User Monitoring (SUM) monitors the performance and availability of web applications from a client-side perspective.
For that, it relies on Scenarios regularly executed by a Runner.

Synthetic User Monitoring provides the following benefits

Proactive detection: With Synthetic User Monitoring, you have a 24 hours a day, 7 days a week monitoring. This enables you to detect performance and availability issues early, potentially before the end-users face them.
Factual metrics: With Synthetic User Monitoring, the monitoring relies on the same scenarios being re-executed. This allows you to monitor the evolution of the performance and availability based on comparable metrics.

Features

Monitoring of web applications via custom Selenium IDE scripts.
Scenario commands are executed from Selenium remote web driver infrastructure
Configurable scenario executions intervals
Metrics captured at the scenario step level
Evaluation of the performance based on dynamic thresholds
Configurable events in case of availability issue
