Synthetics PoP

Use the Synthetics PoP to monitor your REST calls and other urls from multiple locations. Create synthetic tests and schedule them to run on a predefined schedule. Monitor both the availability and response time of you websites.

Follow the steps to install the Synthetics PoP, create synthetic tests and view test results.

1. Install Synthetics PoP. After you install the Cloud App Management server, you can install and configure a Synthetics PoP, which enables you to create and run synthetic tests. For more information, see Installing Synthetics PoP.
2. Navigate to Synthetics page. Click Administration > Synthetics Configure on the Cloud App Management console to access the Synthetics page with a list of existing tests. Click the Create button to open the Create synthetic test page, where you can create a new synthetic test.
3. Create synthetic tests based on your requirement. There are four types of synthetic tests:
   • REST API test to test and monitor your REST calls and other urls in response to REST calls. For more information, see Creating a REST API test.
   • Scripting REST API synthetic test to test and monitor a number of REST APIs in a sequence. For more information, see Creating a Scripting REST API synthetic test.
   • Web page synthetic test to test a single web page for availability and browser response time. For more information, see Creating a web page synthetic test.
   • Selenium script test to test simulated user behavior. For more information, see Creating a Selenium script test.
4. View synthetic test results. Use the Synthetic results tab on the Cloud App Management console to visualize your synthetic tests. For more information, see Viewing Synthetic test results.
