What do synthetic monitors primarily improve in Dynatrace?

Synthetic monitors in Dynatrace are designed to simulate user interactions with your applications, enabling you to monitor complex clickpaths effectively. This functionality is essential for analyzing user experience and performance by mimicking real user behavior and measuring response times for various actions within an application. By doing so, synthetic monitors can help identify issues that users might encounter, even before they affect real users.

The ability to monitor complex clickpaths allows teams to proactively address potential problems and optimize the user experience. This is particularly useful for applications that require specific sequences of actions or interactions, ensuring that the application performs reliably under various conditions. By focusing on these interactions, synthetic monitors contribute significantly to performance monitoring and help ensure that applications meet user expectations.
