What is synthetic monitoring?
Synthetic monitoring consists of pre-defined checks to proactively monitor the critical elements in your infrastructure. These checks simulate the functionality of the elements. We can also simulate the communication between the elements to ensure end-to-end connectivity. Continuous monitoring of these checks also helps to measure overall performance in terms of availability and response times.

We will narrow down the scope of synthetic checks for Kubernetes clusters and the rest of the post will be based on the same.
