Synthetic monitoring

Synthetic monitoring simulates user actions — like a login or checkout flow — to test multi-step journeys.

Synthetic monitoring scripts a browser or API sequence to verify that a multi-step flow works end to end, beyond a single request. It complements uptime monitoring, which focuses on whether individual endpoints respond. PingInsight focuses on granular uptime monitoring rather than synthetic transactions.
