Suites

A suite groups monitors that together make up one service or user journey — for example, Checkout journey with the cart API, the payment API and the checkout browser test. A suite has its own state, alerts and runs, so you can view, run and be alerted about the whole journey at once.

Suites are listed under Synthetics → Suites, with their State, number of Monitors, Critical members, Uptime, Labels and Description.

Creating a Suite

DOWN thresholdShare of the critical monitors that must be down for the suite to be down. Default 50%
