Synthetic monitoring automatically records all **ping** monitor checks, allowing you to see the load time and response size for every run.

Use the [explorer](https://docs.newrelic.com/docs/new-relic-one/use-new-relic-one/ui-data/new-relic-one-entity-explorer-view-performance-across-apps-services-hosts) and the selected ping monitor's **Summary** and **Results** pages to:

-   Select a resource to view load timing, response and request headers, and other details.
-   Use these details to find problems and diagnose performance issues.

> #### 💡 TIP

> For information on **simple** or **scripted** monitors, see [View simple or scripted monitor results](https://docs.newrelic.com/docs/synthetics/new-relic-synthetics/using-monitors/view-ping-monitor-results).

## View ping monitor results [#finding]

To access a complete list of **ping** monitor results:

1.  Go to **[one.newrelic.com > Synthetic monitoring](https://one.newrelic.com/synthetics-nerdlets)**.
2.  Sort by **Monitor Type** using the query `monitorType=ping`.
3.  To view specific information about a monitor, such as page load time and availability, select a ping monitor to access the selected monitor's **Summary** and **Results** pages.

**[one.newrelic.com > Synthetic monitoring](https://one.newrelic.com/synthetics-nerdlets)** > (select a monitor): View a summary of the selected ping monitor including load time and total load size.

**Get details about page resources**

Click on a specific ping monitor check to access **Result Details** view.

From the Result Detail view, you can:

-   See the exact order in which each page's resources loaded.
-   See how long each element took to load.
-   See detailed metrics, including HTTP status codes, [timing information](#viewing-logs), response headers, and request headers.

**View transaction traces**

1.  Make sure you have [enabled Synthetic transaction traces](https://docs.newrelic.com/docs/synthetics/new-relic-synthetics/using-monitors/collect-synthetic-transaction-traces) for the ping monitor you want to view.
2.  Go to **[one.newrelic.com > Synthetic monitoring](https://one.newrelic.com/synthetics-nerdlets)** > (select a ping monitor).
3.  Hover over the **Timeline** and click **APM transaction trace**.

**Share a result**

Copy the unique URL from your browser's address bar; for example:

````
https://one.newrelic.com/launcher/nr1-core.explorer#launcher=7890wxyz-7c6c-4786-94bc-31d58fc91a73
```

You can then share this URL with anyone else who has access to your New Relic account data.

**Quickly access another monitor**

1.  At the top of the screen, click on the name of the current monitor to open the dropdown menu.
2.  Select from the list of recent monitors, or enter a name in the search field to search for a specific monitor.

## Timing details [#viewing-logs]

For some monitor types, the overall monitor check duration will be larger than the individual page request durations. This is because some browser behaviors are not measured individually but still count towards the total check time.

Examples of unmeasured behaviors include:

-   JavaScript interactions
-   Resource pre-fetching and prioritization
-   DNS pre-resolve
-   TCP pre-connect
-   Page pre-rendering
