Install the New Relic agent: Install the New Relic agent in your application environment. The agent collects data and sends it to New Relic for monitoring purposes. Refer to the New Relic documentation for specific installation instructions based on your application stack.

Access New Relic Synthetics: 

Once the agent is installed and reporting data, log in to your New Relic account.

Navigate to the Synthetics section: 

In the New Relic dashboard, go to the "Synthetics" section. It is typically found in the main navigation menu.

Create a new monitor: 

Click on the "Create a monitor" button to start setting up a synthetic monitor.

Choose monitor type: 

Select the type of synthetic monitor you want to create. New Relic offers options like Simple Browser, Scripted Browser, and API tests. Choose the one that best suits your monitoring needs.

Configure monitor settings: 

Provide the necessary details for the selected monitor type, such as the URL to monitor, location(s) from which to run the tests, and any additional configuration options.

Set alert conditions: 

Define the conditions that trigger alerts when the monitor fails or deviates from expected behavior. This helps you proactively identify and resolve issues.

Save and activate the monitor: Review your monitor settings and save the configuration. Activate the monitor to start the monitoring process.

Monitor results:

Configure notifications:

 Optionally, set up notifications to receive alerts via email, SMS, or other communication channels when monitor failures occur.

Analyze and optimize: 

Continuously review the data collected from synthetic monitoring to identify patterns, performance bottlenecks, or other issues. Use this information to optimize your application's performance and user experience.
