Talk:Synthetic monitoring

Not Limited to Website Monitoring

In fact synthetic transaction monitoring can be applied to monitoring databases, services, message queues, TCP/IP ports, or other areas. Therefore it is not, strictly speaking, a form of website monitoring. When I have time I will return to this page and deal with this. SunSw0rd 20:28, 15 May 2007 (UTC)

Re: This type of monitoring does not require actual Web traffic

This statement seems incorrect to me. How can an external test script make requests to a web server without web traffic? BenjaminGSlade (talk) 19:56, 24 October 2018 (UTC)

Please consider the non-programmers in the audience

As someone with only the most rudimentary understanding of programming, I found this article so incomprehensible that I gave up half way through the first paragraph. Someone with more familiarity should do a major rewrite of this page for the benefit of people who don't already know what synthetic monitoring is. --JDspeeder1 (talk) 01:50, 7 October 2021 (UTC)

Some more history, please

What's the origin of the term? --Benklaasen (talk) 08:30, 6 October 2023 (UTC)
