What determines the monitoring frequency of synthetic monitors in Dynatrace?

The monitoring frequency of synthetic monitors in Dynatrace is determined by the execution interval set for the monitors. This interval is a user-defined setting that specifies how often a synthetic monitoring script should run. By configuring this interval, users can control the frequency at which they want to perform checks on their applications, enabling them to gather timely performance data and insights.

For example, if the execution interval is set to run every five minutes, Dynatrace will execute the synthetic script at that defined interval, thereby providing consistent and regular monitoring of the application's performance. This is crucial for identifying issues and maintaining an optimal user experience.

The other options, while relevant to application performance and monitoring, do not dictate the specific frequency at which synthetic monitors are executed. The number of users might impact performance but doesn't influence the monitoring schedule. The performance of backend services could affect the results reported by the synthetic monitors, but again, it doesn’t change how often the monitors are run. Likewise, the complexity of monitored transactions may relate to the data the monitors collect but does not affect the frequency of execution.
