Synthetics Tests

Prev Next

Use Kentik’s Tests page to both configure Synthetics tests and view test results.

Notes:

  • Only Admin users can manage Synthetics tests.

  • For information about the types of tests that can be managed on the Tests page, see Test Types Reference.

  • For information about how test status (Healthy, Warning, Critical) is derived from test results, see Test Status Reference.

Kentik's Tests page shows active tests with their status, latency, and packet loss metrics displayed.

The Tests page is where you view and manage Synthetics tests.

About the Tests Page

The Tests page (Synthetics » Tests from the portal’s main nav menu) is where you manage your organization’s synthetics tests (see Tests and Subtests). This page is the starting point for the following activities:

  • Analyzing Test Results and Subtest Results:

    • Clicking an individual test opens its results page, which also includes information/status for any related subtests.

    • Click an individual subtest to open its results page with information and status details.

Note: If your organization's test credit balance (see Test Credits) is below zero, a notification will appear to the right of the title on the main Tests page as well as on any Add Test Page or Test Settings Page. To add more credits, click the link in the notification (see Adding Test Credits).

You can find more information on the Tests Page.
