* Description *
Splunk Synthetics Monitoring is a platform to synthetically measure performance of your web based properties. This supporting add-on for Splunk Cloud and Splunk Enterprise demonstrates the value of bringing this synthetic data into the Splunk platform for use in regular SPL queries as well as into Splunk ITSI searches that populate KPIs and Events.

This supporting add-on creates a new command in your Splunk Search Processing Language (SPL) called `synthetics` that will bring your synthetics data into Splunk directly from your Splunk Synthetic Monitoring environment. This new `synthetics` command has a set of subcommands to retrieve the right data, and the results can be further processed using your SPL skills. You can create a correlated view that includes data from your Splunk Synthetics Monitoring platform alongside whatever you have in Splunk, including your Log and Observability data.

This add-on also enables you to use the Content Pack for Splunk Synthetic Monitoring within Splunk ITSI, which provides out of the box KPIs, Entities and Services in order to integrate your synthetic metrics into the overall Service view in Splunk ITSI. More information about this Content Pack is here: https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/ITSICP/current/Config/AboutSM
