DYNATRACE:: SYNTHETIC MONITORING EXAM
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Single-URL browser monitors - ANSWER represents a simulated person viewing
your application with a contemporary, up-to-date web browser.
Browser monitors can be set to operate from any of our global locations at up to
5-minute intervals.
Browser monitors notify you when your application becomes inaccessible or when
the baseline performance degrades dramatically.
Browser clickpaths - ANSWER are simulated user visits that track your
application's business-critical workflows.
You can use the Dynatrace recorder to capture a specific sequence of clicks and
user interactions that you want to track for availability and performance.
After you've recorded the mouse clicks and other user actions you want your
browser click path to contain, you can schedule it to run at regular intervals to
evaluate your site's availability and operation.
HTTP monitors: ANSWER is a simple HTTP request.
You can use it to see if your website or API endpoint is available.
Check the availability of internal resources that are not accessible from outside
your network.
,Recorder: ANSWER Google Chrome (latest version, backwards compatible)
HTTP request - ANSWER: Give the request a name (if the default is insufficient)
and choose an HTTP method.
OAuth2 authorization request - ANSWER Provide the access token URL and a
name for the request (if the default is insufficient).
activate pre-execution script - ANSWER When you activate this, an edit box
appears where you can insert a script that will be executed right before the request
is processed.
Enable post-execution script - ANSWER If you enable this, an edit box appears
where you can insert a script that will be executed immediately after the request is
initiated.
Authentication - ANSWER: To automate the login procedure for
password-protected sites, select Basic authentication and provide your username
and password.
Add client certificate - ANSWER This option enables client-side certificate
authentication.
If you choose this option, you will need to find and pick a certificate file.
Set additional HTTP headers - ANSWER The monitor is constructed with only the
protocol's minimum set of headers. To enable the custom headers:
1: Select Set extra HTTP headers.
2 - Select Add Header.
, 3 - Enter the Header name and value.
4 -Click Add another heading if needed. You can define several HTTP headers.
They will be set for all of the monitor's requests.
You can include a payload in your POST, PUT, DELETE, and PATCH requests.
Specify the request body format and content.
- x-www-form-urlencoded - Provide one or more pairs of property keys and values.
- raw - Enter the request body into the edit box.
Set ANSWER validation rules - ANSWER ANSWER validation checks if the
answer has a specific text to ensure that your application loads the expected
content.
- The basic test is determined by whether it is passed or failed.
- Text includes indicates the text to look for in the ANSWER. Texts are
case-sensitive.
- Interpret content match as regular expression converts the provided text into a
regular expression.
If the pass requirements are not met (or the fail criteria are met), the monitor fails
and the execution is terminated.
Follow redirects - ANSWER By default, an HTTP monitor will track up to ten
redirects from an originating request until it reaches its final destination.
Turn this option off to simply track the initial answer in the redirect chain.
