Advanced test configurations

Customize tests run in Splunk Synthetic Monitoring by setting up different devices, variables, locations, test status, and other configurations to best simulate diverse types of traffic to your site or application.

To simulate diverse types of traffic to your site or application, use a range of configuration options to customize each of your tests.

Test naming conventions

Choosing informative names for your tests and alerts helps organize content. Here are some guidelines:

  • Add a category as a prefix to your test name like group, application, brand, or team names so that you can simplify searches. For example, these two browser tests start with [ButtercupGames].

  • Add a description about the purpose of the test like the workflow, process, performance, or data source.
