In this video I’ll introduce you to the Chrome DevTools Recorder and how you can use it with Splunk Observability Cloud’s Synthetic Monitoring feature. I’ll explain what the Recorder is and then demonstrate how you can create a recording. We’ll then export the recording and upload it as a new browser test in Splunk’s Synthetic Monitoring feature. After uploading, I’ll walk through the test results and explain when it makes sense to use the Recorder for your Synthetic Monitoring tests.
