We have successfully implemented our basic monitoring and alerting strategy for microservices in a k8s environment. We have process and infra monitoring along with appropriate thresholds set to alert using a combination of LogicMonitor and Splunk but lack an ongoing smoke test or synthetic transaction to ensure that all application services are healthy and performant. We want to test each service individually to confirm that a) we are getting a successful response, b) the contents of the response is correct, and c) that response time is within threshold. We recently had a certificate in a test environment expire where all of our dashboards showed green when in fact all incoming authentication requests were denied since the cert itself had expired. Even after updating the cert in Forgerock we had to restart several services to get it functioning fully again. Is something like Cisco Thousand Eyes are only option? Do other products have strong synthetic transaction support?We have successfully implemented our basic monitoring and alerting strategy for microservices in a k8s environment. We have process and infra monitoring along with appropriate thresholds set to alert using a combination of LogicMonitor and Splunk but lack an ongoing smoke test or synthetic transaction to ensure that all application services are healthy and performant. As an example, our k8s environment has a Vault sidecar, exposes its own internal DNS endpoint, and utilizes AD and Forgerock for IAM.

We have process and infra monitoring along with appropriate thresholds set to alert. We use a combination of LogicMonitor and Splunk for this purpose. What we are missing is an ongoing smoke test or synthetic transaction to ensure that all application services are healthy and performant. As an example, our k8s environment has a Vault sidecar, exposes its own internal DNS endpoint, and utilizes AD and Forgerock for IAM. We want to be able to test each service individually to confirm that a) we are getting a successful response, b) the contents of the response is correct, and c) that response time is within threshold. As a real-world use-case we recently had a certificate in a test environment expire. All of our dashboards showed green when in fact all incoming authentication requests were denied since the cert itself had expired. Further, even after updating the cert in Forgerock we had to restart several services to get it functioning fully again. Is something like Cisco Thousand Eyes are only option? Do other products have strong synthetic transaction support?

We moved into our current office at the start of COVID. We have space for about 100 people, but since COVID we've never had more than 15-20 people in the office. I'm concerned that if we return with all 100 staff, our internal wireless network and up/down internet pipe may not be able to handle the load. What tools have you use to simulate network loads?
