Using Synthetic Users for production environment monitoring mainly includes the following application scenarios and operation methods:
- Critical Business Process Monitoring::
Set up regular testing for core functionality (e.g., payment process, user registration):
- Go to the "Monitoring" page and click "Set Up Monitoring".
- Enter a monitoring goal, such as "Check checkout page response time".
- Set a reasonable frequency of implementation (e.g., every 30 minutes)
- Performance Baseline Management::
Establish a normal baseline for key metrics (e.g., page load time should be less than 3 seconds), and automatically alert when testing reveals metrics that are abnormal.
- Peak Hour Specialized Testing::
Enhance monitoring frequency during high-traffic periods such as promotional events to identify and resolve functional problems caused by traffic surges in a timely manner.
- Analysis of monitoring results::
View system-generated monitoring reports to focus on:
- Detailed step-by-step reproduction of failed tests
- Trend changes in performance indicators
- Associated system log messages
With this kind of proactive monitoring, teams can identify problems before users complain. For example, e-commerce platforms can utilize this feature to ensure that core shopping processes are running smoothly during the "Double 11″ period.
