Signals captured by SYN
A bank internet banking portal starts returning blank pages after a deployment. Synthetic monitoring detects the broken login journey within 90 seconds and alerts the team before any customers call.
What changes for the business
Proactive detection
Find failures before customers do. Average detection time under 90 seconds from incident to alert.
Smoother releases
Run synthetic checks against staging before production promotion, catching regressions before they ship.
Stronger SLA proof
Third-party verified uptime history for regulatory reporting and SLA dispute resolution.
Better together with the Edge platform
SYN writes its data to the Edge Datalake, making it queryable and correlatable alongside every other module in real time.
Synthetic Monitoring questions, answered
What does Edge Synthetic Monitoring monitor?
Edge Synthetic Monitoring captures signals including availability percentage, journey completion time, step-level latency, error categorisation, geographic variation, ssl expiry, and provides real browser simulation, continuous endpoint checks, journey level assurance and more.
How is Edge Synthetic Monitoring deployed?
Edge connects through lightweight agents or agentless connectors — typically 2–4 hours for a standard environment — and can be deployed on-premises, in your private cloud or in a regional cloud, so monitoring data stays within your jurisdiction.
Does it work with the monitoring tools we already use?
Yes. Edge is designed for a no-rip-and-replace approach and connects alongside your existing stack, with 100+ integrations across cloud, containers, databases, APM agents, telemetry standards and alerting channels.
How does SYN connect to the rest of Edge?
SYN writes its data to the Edge Datalake, so it can be queried and correlated in real time with application traces, logs, infrastructure metrics and real user data from the other Edge modules.
How is it priced?
Pricing is tailored to the scale of your environment, the modules you choose and your deployment model. Start with a short, no-obligation discovery session and NCG will prepare a scoped proposal.
