Synthetic Metrics

Metrics

The following metrics are generated by Synthetic Monitoring tests.

Metrics starting with:

synthetics.test_runs come from all your Synthetic tests
datadog.estimated_usage.synthetics.* return relevant usage data from your Synthetic tests

Metrics starting with:

synthetics.test_runs (count)	The number of Synthetic test runs. Shown as run
datadog.estimated_usage.synthetics.api_test_runs (count)	Estimated usage for API tests. Shown as run
datadog.estimated_usage.synthetics.browser_test_runs (count)	Estimated usage for browser tests. Shown as run

synthetics.api.response
(count)

The count of API responses we receive.
Shown as request

synthetics.http.response.time (gauge)	The overall time the request took to be processed. Shown as millisecond
synthetics.http.response.size (gauge)	The size of the response in bytes. Shown as byte
synthetics.http.redirect.time (gauge)	The time spent during redirections. Shown as millisecond
synthetics.http.dns.time (gauge)	The time spent resolving the DNS name of the last request. Shown as millisecond
synthetics.http.connect.time (gauge)	The time to establish the TCP connection to the server. Shown as millisecond
