Customize your alerts in Synthetic Monitoring to give on-call responders meaningful context. Synthetic Monitoring’s message templating system lets you enrich alerts with test details, extract data from test results, and route notifications conditionally based on the failure.
Synthetic Monitoring provides pre-filled messages with no setup required; each alert includes the test name, failing locations, a link to the result, and metadata such as:
These values appear automatically in most notification channels without any configuration.
To include additional test result data beyond the defaults, use handlebar formatting in your monitor message.
Synthetic Monitoring notifications support the ability to display only the custom notification message in alert notifications, hiding all default enriched content such as query details, tags, screenshots, and footers.
By default, all monitors include enriched details in the alert message. This may include:
Use presets to control which content appears:
| Preset | What it shows | When to use it |
|---|---|---|
show_all | All enriched data, metadata, and handles | Default; best for email and ticketing channels |
hide_handles | All enriched data, but hides @notification handles (for example, @slack-channel) | Prevents duplicate pages when a channel is already notified at the monitor level |
hide_all | Custom message and event link only | Chat channels where you control the full message format |
See Monitor Notifications for more information.
You can test your notification messages by sending simulated notifications. To do this:
Select the notification type you want to test and click Send:
Simulated notifications include [TEST] in their subject lines and use a default monitor name when needed.
