2. Create a new synthetic monitor: From the New Relic One dashboard, click "Synthetics" in the navigation menu.
3. Set up a monitor script: Click the "Create a Monitor" button and select the type of monitor you want to create. New Relic offers various options, such as Simple Browser Monitor, Scripted Browser Monitor, or Scripted API Monitor. Choose the appropriate monitor type based on your needs.
4. Configure monitor settings: Provide the required details for the monitor, including the URL or API endpoint you want to monitor, the frequency at which the monitor should run, and the locations from which the monitor should be executed.
5. Define Alert Conditions: Specify the conditions under which you want to be alerted. You can set limits for response time, availability, or specific content checks. You can configure alerts to be sent via email, SMS or other notification channels when a monitor violates these terms.
6. Customize advanced settings: Explore additional options and advanced settings to customize monitor behavior, such as adding request headers, specifying timeouts, or setting data validation.
7. Save and activate the monitor: Once you have configured the monitor settings, save the configuration and activate the monitor. New Relic will start executing the monitor according to the specified schedule.
8. Monitor Results and Analyze Data: View results and data collected from the Synthetic Monitor within the New Relic interface.
