# April 2026 - Synthetics

The following updates were released to the Kentik platform for Synthetics during April 2026.

## Features

- **Test List dashboard item**: A new dashboard item displays all synthetic tests with health status and key metrics in a searchable table, with health summary tabs, MIN/AVG/MAX toggle, column settings, and CSV export.
- **Filter synthetics by label**: You can now filter Synthetics measurements by agent and test labels, including two new guided dimensions for label-based filtering. 
- **HTTP test task targets**: You can select task targets for HTTP synthetic tests, now the default dimension for HTTP results instead of destination address. 
- **Test configuration drawer**: A settings button on the agent details and BGP results pages opens a side drawer showing test configuration.
- **Customizable performance dashboard**: The Synthetics performance dashboard can now be customized. 
- **Agent hostname metadata**: Synthetic agents now report and store hostname metadata for better identification and troubleshooting. 
- **Agent alert suppression docs**: Added documentation explaining how maintenance windows manage agent alert suppression. 

## Bug Fixes

- **Incident log widget**: Fixed the incident log widget showing no alarms by providing default severity and state filters. 
- **Synthetics Meshes widget**: The Meshes widget now works within boards, auto-selecting the first two meshes by default and allowing re-add after removal. 
- **Mesh overview widget saving**: Mesh overview widgets now save mesh selection and ordering, with initially-visible tests selected by default. 
- **Edit panels with deleted tests**: Synthetics dashboard panels backed by deleted tests can now be edited without error.
