# May 2026 - Synthetics

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

## Features

- **Redesigned Tests page**: The Synthetics Tests page now consolidates Test Control Center functionality with an enhanced admin table (sorting, filtering, customizable columns), health timeline sparklines, bulk pause/resume and label editing, and configurable time ranges (1 hour to 30 days). 
- **Path View table view**: New MTR-style table view for synthetic test path results, with hop-by-hop RTT, packet loss, ASN, geolocation data, and CSV export.

## Bug Fixes

- **Observation Deck crash fix**: Fixed a crash in the Observation Deck when synthetic tests are not configured. 
- **Agent alert API fix**: Fixed PUT/DELETE failures by passing IDs as strings, and agent alerts now default to active when created.
- **Path View trace merging**: Path View now merges traces across timestamp buckets so probes from all agents are displayed, especially for longer-frequency tests.
