What Are Synthetic Checks?

Synthetic checks are proactive tests that simulate user interactions or network requests to monitor the availability and performance of services. Rather than waiting for an issue to be reported by a user, synthetic checks continuously run automated checks to detect problems before they affect real users. This makes them an essential tool for DevOps and Site Reliability Engineers (SREs) who aim to maintain a reliable and responsive infrastructure.

How to monitor DNS query response time

Wed, 12 Oct 2022 00:00:00 +0000

DNS (Domain Name System) servers translate standard language web addresses to their actual IP addresses for network access.

DNS Lookup Journey

DNS response time is the time it takes a Domain Name Server to receive the request for a domain name’s IP address, process it, and return the IP address to the browser or application requesting it. When it comes to DNS response times, the lower the better, and generally values less than 100ms are considered to be in the acceptable range (depending on the application).
