Result Values

In Synthetic Monitoring, various processes and formulas are used to calculate result values.

Term

Definition/Comments

Result

When a check runs, it returns a result—for example, a response time value.

Severity

Depending on the check type, the result value will result in a severity level for the check, displayed in the various views in Synthetic Monitoring.

Severity is a level indicator used to indicate the status of a check based on the results. The severity is used in various displays and alerts, notifications, and events.

Check Status

Four colors represent the current check status

  • Green: Information

  • Yellow: Warning

  • Orange: Error

  • Red: Fatal

The colors are used in any context where the check status is displayed.

Configuration

The configuration of the check affects how the value is converted into a severity.

The result interpretation settings apply some modifications to the result. For example, You can ignore particular combinations of file types and HTTP response codes.

A failed check will, by default, get the severity Fatal.

This can be configured to a different severity with the Check Fail Severity setting.

Preserve Value

With the Preserve Value setting enabled, the returned value will be used and included in aggregated/calculated values.

Note

Note: When a check has failed, the return value is considered Null, and there is no value to store.

Thresholds

The various Threshold settings are used to select a severity for the check result.

The thresholds define an upper (High) and lower (Low) bound on the result for Warning and Error. Values above and below these bounds will cause the corresponding severity.

Info

Note: Preserve that value must enable the thresholds to have any effect since it uses the result value.

Mapping

In addition to the thresholds, you can also configure Severity Mapping to customize rules to assign severities to different error types.
