# September 2026 - Synthetics

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

## Features

- **Rebuilt Agents page**: The Agents page has sortable columns, filters (type, status, capabilities, provider, tests, labels, ASN, region, country, IP config), pagination and an interactive map. A new "Unknown" health state separates lookup failures from missing agents. Global agent health is now visible to all users.
- **Static IP for all agents**: Users with agent configuration permission can now turn on static IP for any Synthetics agent.
- **Updated capability drawer**: The Synthetics capability drawer has a new layout and clearer toggle labels. Read-only fields are permission-checked.
- **Filter by enum values**: You can filter synthetic test results by health status, DNS response code and HTTP status code, using readable labels.

## Bug Fixes

- **Infinite spinner when adding a private agent**: The install command now loads when you add a private agent.
- **Tests page search**: Search on the Tests page now matches only display name and ID, so results are consistent.
- **BGP route viewer errors**: Fixed errors that could crash the page when BGP configuration was missing or incomplete.
- **Alarm timeline errors**: Fixed browser errors on the synthetic alarm timeline when the chart updates.
- **Path view metric labels**: Fixed a metric mislabel in path view health results.
