Frequently asked questions
What can synthetic monitoring check?
Guance can run controlled checks for websites, APIs, DNS, TLS certificates, and selected network protocols and paths.
Can tests run from different regions?
Yes. Available test locations can be selected to compare regional availability and latency.
How do synthetic tests work with RUM?
Synthetic tests provide controlled, repeatable checks. RUM shows what real users experienced. Together they help distinguish predicted availability from actual user impact.
What data can Guance bring into one observability platform?
Guance correlates metrics, logs, traces, profiles, RUM sessions, synthetic tests, cloud resources, security events, alerts, and selected business data in a shared workspace.
Does Guance work with OpenTelemetry?
Yes. OpenTelemetry handles instrumentation and telemetry collection, while Guance provides the backend used to store, query, visualize, correlate, and alert on that telemetry.
