Use SLA reports to view summary performance metrics across time or multiple monitors. Compare your current performance to historical metrics with daily, weekly, and monthly reporting.
View synthetic monitoring SLA reports
To view your account-wide SLA report: Go to one.newrelic.com > Synthetic monitoring > SLA Report. Choose from reports aggregated by day, week, or month by selecting Daily, Weekly, or Monthly as appropriate.
You can also view SLA reports for individual monitors: Go to one.newrelic.com > Synthetic monitoring > SLA.
one.newrelic.com > Synthetic monitoring > SLA: Use SLA reports to understand your monitors' performance over time.
Understand SLA report metrics
Use SLA reports to view aggregated performance metrics for a single monitor, or for all your monitors from the account-wide SLA Reports page. SLA reports include the following metrics:
Duration: The average duration across all monitor results.
Uptime: The percentage of all monitor results that ended successfully. For example, Monitor A might check 50 times per day, and Monitor B might check 150 times per day. If Monitor A has 29 successes out of 50 and Monitor B has 148 successes out of 150, the Uptime would be 88.5:
(29+148)/(50+150)=88.5
For individual SLA reports, the uptime score only includes the selected monitor.
Apdex: The average Apdex across all monitors. Monitors have a default Apdex T of 7 seconds that can be modified when creating or updating your Synthetics monitors. Apdex F, which defines a frustrating result, is always four times Apdex T. For more information about Apdex, see Apdex: Measuring user satisfaction. To view Apdex scores for your synthetic monitors using a different Apdex T value, please use the NRQL apdex function and the SyntheticCheck event.
For individual SLA reports, the Apdex score only includes the selected monitor.
% Satisfied: The percentage of monitor results which complete in a "satisfying" time. A satisfying time is defined as a monitor result that completes in Apdex T or less.
% Toleration: The percentage of monitor results which complete in a "tolerable" time. A tolerable time is greater than Apdex T, but less than Apdex F (four times Apdex T).
% Frustrated: The percentage of monitor results which complete in a "frustrating" time. A frustrating time is greater than Apdex F (four times Apdex T).
The account-wide SLA report includes all monitor types (ping, simple browser, scripted browser, and API test).

Generate SLA values
The values in the SLA report are generated from NRQL queries against the available synthetic monitoring data. You can easily recreate these values and modify the queries to meet your needs.
This query returns the average duration, the apdex, and the uptime. Substitute your values for the variables highlighted and described below.
SELECT average(duration), apdex(duration, t:), percentage(count(*), WHERE result='SUCCESS') FROM SyntheticCheck FACET timeperiodVariable | Value |
|---|---|
| Supply the Apdex T that you would like to calculate your apdex against. The duration attribute in the |
| This is the period that you would like to calculate on. For a daily report, facet on |
NRQL queries default to querying against the last hour of data. In order to widen the scope of your data you will need to include a SINCE clause at the end of your query.
Example #1: Daily report for the last week
To generate a daily report for the last week you would add SINCE 1 week ago:
SELECT average(duration), apdex(duration, t:7), percentage(count(*), WHERE result='SUCCESS') FROM SyntheticCheck FACET dateOf(timestamp) SINCE 1 week agoExample #2: Report for a particular monitor
To scope the results to a particular monitor you can edit the below query to include a specific monitor name:
SELECT average(duration), apdex(duration, t:7), percentage(count(*), WHERE result='SUCCESS') FROM SyntheticCheck FACET dateOf(timestamp) WHERE monitorName = 'mymonitor1'Example #3: Report for multiple monitors
To scope the results to a collection of monitors:
SELECT average(duration), apdex(duration, t:7), percentage(count(*), WHERE result='SUCCESS') FROM SyntheticCheck FACET dateOf(timestamp) WHERE monitorName IN ('mymonitor1', 'mymonitor2', 'mymonitor3')
