Synthetic Monitoring
A real browser walks through your site the way a visitor does.
A synthetic monitor runs a scripted journey in a real headless browser — go to a page, click, fill in a field, wait for an element, check text or the page title. Every step has to pass, so a broken login or checkout is caught before customers report it.
What it detects
- A user flow that no longer completes
- Elements that don't render after JavaScript runs
- Wrong text or titles on key pages
- Bot-protection challenges, reported as such instead of a false failure
How you're alerted
- The first failing step fails the run and the built-in “Monitor Down” alert fires.
Notifications go to any of 8 channels — see notifications.
- Runs from
- MonSPHERE's own workers — no region to pick
- Engine
- Sandboxed headless Chromium — can't reach private or internal addresses
- Actions
- goto, click, fill, waitFor, assertText, assertTitle
- Dashboard
- Run success trend, scenario duration, every step with its duration and result, the step that fails most, and SLA status
- Available on

View categoryWebsite Monitoring
Track uptime, response time, and page performance from every region you assign.
Advanced Website Monitoring
Regex assertions, forbidden keywords, and custom request headers and bodies — check what a page or API actually returns, including authenticated endpoints.
Ping Monitoring
ICMP checks for raw network reachability and latency tracking.
TCP Monitoring
Check that a host's port accepts connections, with connect time tracked from every region you assign.
Advanced TCP Monitoring
TCP over TLS plus send/expect validation — confirm a service actually answers correctly, not just that its port is open.
DNS Monitoring
Track DNS resolution and validate that returned records actually match the values you expect — catch a hijacked or silently changed record, not just a resolution failure.
Cron Job Monitoring
Inbound 'I'm alive' checks for cron jobs and background workers — alerts when a run goes missing, with every ping and each run's duration kept.
API Transaction Monitoring
Chain multiple HTTP requests — extract a value from one response, like a login token, and reuse it in the next.
