Public Synthetic locations

  • Reference
  • 8-min read

Dynatrace offers a global network of public Synthetic Monitoring locations out of the box. With Dynatrace Synthetic Monitoring, you can run your monitors from public locations that are based on the infrastructure of these major cloud providers: Alibaba Cloud, Amazon AWS, Google Cloud, and Microsoft Azure.

Note that you can also create private Synthetic locations within your own network infrastructure. All public and private Synthetic locations can run browser as well as HTTP monitors.

Location release stages

Locations are released in one of these progressive stages: Coming soon, Early Adopter, or GA. Locations can also be Deprecated. Learn about the relationship between the stages:

StageDescription
Coming soonLocation is already created; we're performing final performance tests before making the location available.
DeprecatedLocation is about to be removed; you can't assign new monitors to a deprecated location.
Early AdopterLocation is production ready and fully supported. Its future availability depends on the interest the location receives and on vendor-dependent factors.
GALocation is generally available and fully supported.

Location IP addresses

If your security policy requires you to add a location IP address to a list of allowed addresses or you need to know this information for other purposes, you can determine a location IP address in one of the following ways.

  • When you create or modify your monitors, all the locations and their IP addresses are displayed in the table on the Frequency and locations page. Select one or more locations, scroll to the bottom of the page, and select Copy IPs to clipboard or Download IPs to copy or download the associated IP addresses.
  • Use the Synthetic locations API - GET all locations API call, which returns all the locations available for your Environment along with their IP addresses.

Locations

All public Synthetic locations are set to Coordinated Universal Time (UTC).

Location change notice

The Alibaba Sydney and Mumbai public locations will be discontinued by the end of March 2024.

Alibaba has announced the closure of data centers in Australia and India, scheduled to take effect by the end of March 2024.

In anticipation of this change, if you use the Alibaba Sydney or Mumbai locations, we recommend reassigning your monitors to alternative locations to ensure that your tests remain functional. If you prefer not to do this yourself, starting from March 2024, we will automatically transfer your monitors to the alternative public locations listed below.

Summary of change

Location to be deprecated by end March 2024Recommended alternative location
Sydney (Alibaba)Sydney (AWS)
Mumbai (Alibaba)Mumbai (AWS)

If you have synthetic monitors assigned to the soon-to-be-deprecated Sydney (Alibaba) or Mumbai (Alibaba) locations, we recommend that you assign them to other locations. The alternative Sydney (AWS) and Mumbai (AWS) locations would be your natural first choices, but you can, of course, select other locations.

  1. Go to Synthetic Classic and select a monitor.
  2. On the monitor details page, select Edit.
  3. Select Frequency and locations.
  4. Clear the Sydney (Alibaba) and Mumbai (Alibaba) checkboxes and select alternative locations.
  5. Save changes.

You can also use the Synthetic Monitors API for configuration at scale.

While we aim to make this transition as seamless as possible, there are specific tasks we can't perform on your behalf, so you might need to take additional actions.

  • If you have applications monitored by Dynatrace Synthetic Monitoring, you might need to adjust your firewall configuration to permit incoming traffic from your selected alternative locations to reach your websites.
  • After the end of March 2024, the Alibaba Sydney and Mumbai public locations will no longer be accessible. Consequently, you'll also need to remove the associated IP addresses for these locations from your firewall configuration.

For help on determining the new addresses, see Location IP addresses.
