Introducing Synthetic Private Probes for Deeper Digital Experience Monitoring Visibility

Public probes cannot monitor inside your network because they stop at the firewall. This creates blind spots for internal applications and infrastructure that are critical to your business operations. Without visibility behind the firewall, performance issues in internal systems can go undetected, leading to employee frustration and lost productivity.

A Synthetic Private Probe is a monitoring agent deployed inside your network infrastructure. It lets you monitor both internal and external websites or URIs from an exact vantage point within your network. This helps you track availability and performance of internal applications behind firewalls, providing a more complete view of user experience and enabling proactive issue detection.

Public probes can confirm general availability of SaaS services but cannot measure performance from your local network. Synthetic Private Probes deployed within your office or data center measure network path, latency, and performance from your location to the cloud, providing a more accurate view of the user experience and helping diagnose if issues are internal or external.

Deploying Synthetic Private Probes in remote cloud locations or data centers lets you run synthetic tests from those points. This provides critical insight into performance experienced by users in specific regions, helping you gain actionable visibility across your global infrastructure and address location-specific issues.

Integrating Synthetic Private Probe data into SolarWinds Observability SaaS Digital Experience Monitoring adds metrics that enhance correlation. This supports faster incident response and more accurate root cause analysis by providing a validated view of user experience internally and externally, helping you resolve issues more efficiently.

Synthetic Private Probes effectively monitor critical internal applications such as HR portals, custom finance dashboards, and proprietary CRM systems. These are often custom-built and hosted behind firewalls, making them invisible to public probes but essential for employee productivity and back-office operations.

A detailed documentation page provides a step-by-step walkthrough and system requirements for deploying Synthetic Private Probes. This helps ensure proper installation and configuration within your network environment to maximize monitoring effectiveness.

Deploying Synthetic Private Probes inside your network reduces the risk of undetected slowdowns by continuously monitoring availability and response times of internal applications. This proactive approach helps you identify and resolve issues before they impact employee productivity or cause downtime.

Public probes cannot monitor inside your network because they stop at the firewall. This creates blind spots for internal applications and infrastructure that are critical to your business operations. Without visibility behind the firewall, you risk missing performance issues in employee portals or custom internal systems, which can lead to downtime and lost productivity.

A Synthetic Private Probe is a monitoring agent deployed inside your network infrastructure. It lets you monitor both internal and external websites or URIs from an exact vantage point within your network. This helps you gain a more complete understanding of user experience and detect issues behind firewalls that public probes miss.

Public probes monitor from outside your network and cannot see behind firewalls, missing internal applications. Synthetic Private Probes run inside your network, providing availability and response time metrics for internal apps like HR portals or proprietary systems. This internal vantage point helps detect issues that public probes cannot, offering a more complete view of user experience.

Synthetic Private Probes can be installed in specific remote locations like a cloud region or data center abroad. This lets you run synthetic tests from that exact location, providing insight into the performance experienced by users there. This approach extends your monitoring reach beyond standard public probe locations, helping you understand global infrastructure performance.

SolarWinds Observability SaaS integrates Synthetic Private Probe data to provide enhanced metric correlation. This integration supports faster incident response and more accurate root cause analysis by combining internal and external performance data. It helps validate the actual user experience, improving your ability to manage incidents effectively.

Synthetic Private Probes monitor internal applications, firewalled resources, and unique internal network paths. These include employee portals, custom finance dashboards, proprietary CRM systems, and internal routing that public probes cannot access due to firewall restrictions.

Deploying Synthetic Private Probes enables proactive detection of slowdowns in internal systems by running scheduled synthetic tests. This early warning helps resolve issues before they cause costly downtime or significant drops in employee productivity, supporting smoother operations and less disruption.

Integrating Synthetic Private Probes with SolarWinds Observability SaaS enhances metric correlation and root cause analysis. This integration supports faster incident response and provides validated user experience data, reducing friction during rollout by aligning with your existing monitoring workflows.

Public probes cannot monitor inside your network because they stop at the firewall. This creates blind spots for internal applications and infrastructure that power your business. Without visibility behind the firewall, you risk missing performance issues in critical internal systems like employee portals or custom dashboards. Synthetic Private Probes address this by monitoring from within your network, providing availability metrics for these firewalled resources.

A Synthetic Private Probe is a monitoring agent deployed inside your network infrastructure. It lets you monitor both internal and external websites or URIs from an exact vantage point within your environment. This helps you understand the true user experience by pinpointing issues related to local networks or internal routing, which public probes cannot detect. It also supports proactive root cause isolation by identifying if problems stem from your application, data center, or external providers.

Public probes monitor external performance from standard locations but cannot see inside your network or behind firewalls. Synthetic Private Probes extend monitoring inside your network, covering internal applications, firewalled resources, and unique network paths. This provides a more complete view of user experience, including internal routing and local network issues that public probes miss. Private probes also enable monitoring from specific geographic locations within your infrastructure.

Synthetic Private Probes address challenges like monitoring behind firewalls, gaining accurate user experience insights from internal networks, and proactive root cause isolation. They fill visibility gaps left by public probes, allowing you to detect issues in internal applications and network paths. This helps reduce guesswork and supports consistent user experience by providing detailed performance metrics from inside your network environment.

Synthetic Private Probes effectively monitor critical internal applications such as HR portals, custom finance dashboards, and proprietary CRM systems. These applications are often custom-built and hosted behind firewalls, making them invisible to public probes. The probes run scheduled synthetic tests to track availability and response times, helping detect performance issues before they impact employee productivity.

Synthetic Private Probes measure SaaS performance from within your local network, monitoring network path, latency, and user experience specific to your environment. Public probes only confirm general availability from external locations. This internal vantage point allows you to diagnose whether performance issues are caused by your network or the SaaS provider, improving troubleshooting accuracy for apps like Salesforce and Office 365.

SolarWinds provides a documentation page with a step-by-step walkthrough and system requirements for deploying Synthetic Private Probes. This resource helps ensure proper installation and configuration within your network environment, reducing setup friction and supporting a smoother rollout.

Synthetic Private Probes provide detailed internal performance metrics, allowing you to pinpoint whether issues originate from your application, data center infrastructure, or external providers. This proactive root cause isolation reduces guesswork and accelerates incident resolution by giving you clear insights from inside your network.
