[![Synthetic Monitoring Checkly Coralogix](/docs/assets/images/Screen-Shot-2023-04-05-at-3.11.38-PM-1024x513-a264f27d9f9bdb07e58b4b37b9419b5a.webp)](https://coralogix.com/docs/assets/images/Screen-Shot-2023-04-05-at-3.11.38-PM-1024x513-a264f27d9f9bdb07e58b4b37b9419b5a.webp) ## Configuration 1 . To integrate with Coralogix, define a webhook. In your Checkly navigation pane, select **Alerts** and define a new channel using the Coralogix [Rest API `/singles`](https://coralogix.com/docs/developer-portal/apis/log-ingestion/coralogix-rest-api-singles.md) using the endpoint associated with your Coralogix [domain](https://coralogix.com/docs/user-guides/account-management/account-settings/coralogix-domain.md). [![Synthetic Monitoring Checkly Coralogix](/docs/assets/images/Screen-Shot-2023-04-05-at-3.16.47-PM-1024x581-75301672e6336ba65702c7ae8cc95c59.webp)](https://coralogix.com/docs/assets/images/Screen-Shot-2023-04-05-at-3.16.47-PM-1024x581-75301672e6336ba65702c7ae8cc95c59.webp) The example above consists of the following JSON body. Note the importance of inputting [application and subsystem names](https://coralogix.com/docs/user-guides/account-management/account-settings/application-and-subsystem-names.md). ``` { "applicationName": "synthetics", "subsystemName": "{{ CHECK_NAME }}", "computerName": "{{ CHECK_TYPE }}", "severity": 3, "text":"{\"message\":\"{{ ALERT_TITLE }}\",\"check_result_id\":\"{{CHECK_RESULT_ID}}\",\"check_id\":\"{{CHECK_ID}}\",\"check_name\":\"{{CHECK_NAME}}\",\"check_type\":\"{{CHECK_TYPE}}\",\"alert_type\":\"{{ALERT_TYPE}}\",\"response_time\":\"{{RESPONSE_TIME}}\",\"response_code\":\"{{API_CHECK_RESPONSE_STATUS_CODE}}\",\"response_text\":\"{{API_CHECK_RESPONSE_STATUS_TEXT}}\",\"run_location\":\"{{RUN_LOCATION}}\",\"result_link\":\"{{RESULT_LINK}}\",\"started_at\":\"{{STARTED_AT}}\",\"group_name\":\"{{GROUP_NAME}}\"}", "category": "synthetic-test", "className": "{{ CHECK_NAME }}" } ``` 2 . Connect your webhook to your checks by adding the webhook as an alert channel for each.

Follow these steps: 1 . [Set up](https://www.checklyhq.com/docs/terraform-provider/) your Terraform Checkly provider. 2 . Create the following terraform resource to deploy a Coralogix webhook within Checkly. ``` # A Coralogix alert channel webhook for Checkly resource "checkly_alert_channel" "coralogix_ac" { webhook { name = "coralogix_alert_channel" method = "post" template = < . Once applied, view the Coralogix alert channel created within your Checkly account. Apply the above to view the Coralogix alert channel created within Checkly. ## Validation Depending on the frequency with which your checks are being executed and are changing states, you should be able to view the checks in your Coralogix dashboard. **Notes**: * Checkly only invokes a webhook when the state of a check changes, either from pass to fail or fail to pass. * A webhook will not be invoked for every browser check, meaning that you will not receive a message within your Coralogix dashboard for every check. ### Check A check in your Coralogix dashboard should appear as follows: ``` /** * To learn more about Playwright Test visit: * * */ const { expect, test } = require('@playwright/test') // Set the action timeout to 10 seconds to quickly identify failing actions. // By default Playwright Test has no timeout for actions (e.g. clicking an element). // Learn more here: test.use({ actionTimeout: 10000 }) test('wait for an element to become visible', async ({ page }) => { // Change checklyhq.com to your site's URL, // or, even better, define a ENVIRONMENT_URL environment variable // to reuse it across your browser checks await page.goto(process.env.ENVIRONMENT_URL || // Locate the headline and check if it's visible // Learn more about all locator functions in the Playwright docs // // const mainHeadline = page.locator('title') await expect(page.getByText('Full-Stack Observability')).toBeVisible(); // Take a screenshot of the current page await page.screenshot({ path: 'screenshot.jpg' }) }) ``` ### Test A multi-step synthetic test, which logs in to a website, should appear as follows: ``` /** * To learn more about Playwright Test visit: * * */ const { expect, test, selectors } = require("@playwright/test") // Set the action timeout to 10 seconds to quickly identify failing actions. // By default Playwright Test has no timeout for actions (e.g. clicking an element). // Learn more here: test.use({ actionTimeout: 10000 }) test("Login into Github", async ({ page }) => { // Go to login page page.goto('https://www.saucedemo.com') // Fill in credentials await page.getByPlaceholder('Username').type('standard_user') await page.getByPlaceholder('Password').type('secret_sauce') await page.click('input[value="Login"]') // Verify successful login // await selectors.setTestIdAttribute(" c sccsßtitle") // await expect(page.getByTestId("Products")) await expect(page.locator('.title')).toBeVisible(); // await page.click('input[value="add-to-cart-sauce-labs-backpack"]') }) ``` If you simulate the test to change its state, the message should appear in your Coralogix dashboard as follows: [![Synthetic Monitoring Checkly Coralogix](/docs/assets/images/Screen-Shot-2023-04-05-at-4.02.09-PM-1024x578-66b98862941297e1792112687cdb58a9.webp)](https://coralogix.com/docs/assets/images/Screen-Shot-2023-04-05-at-4.02.09-PM-1024x578-66b98862941297e1792112687cdb58a9.webp) ## Coralogix dashboard ### Custom dashboard Below is a sample [custom dashboard](https://coralogix.com/docs/user-guides/custom-dashboards/introduction.md) built with synthetic test data. Filter the view using your synthetic test.
