Syslog is an excellent lightweight protocol to get telemetry from small scale devices.
Synthetic Monitoring for Windows, VDI & 2FA | 2 Steps
We relate synthetic monitoring to a heart rate monitor for application performance. It fits hand in glove with real user monitoring and provides insights into how real customers and employees are experiencing the application. Historically, we’ve seen limitations with real user monitoring. If nobody is on the network or using the application, then you're not receiving any performance data. Also, the performance data that you typically receive is from a panel rather than every single user.
