In this video I’m going to introduce you to Splunk Synthetic Monitoring in Splunk Observability Cloud. I’ll explain what synthetic monitoring is and then demonstrate a simple example by creating a browser test for a sample e-commerce site. I’ll also demonstrate how you can link issues found through synthetic monitoring with backend code due to its integration with Splunk APM.
