Synthetic Monitoring Check Manager

Manage Synthetic Monitoring checks using gcx.

Core Principles

  1. Use gcx commands; never call Grafana APIs directly (no curl, no HTTP calls)
  2. Trust the user's expertise — no explanations of what SM or gcx is
  3. Use -o json for agent processing; default table format for user display
  4. gcx validates specs client-side before calling the API (probe names, check type, target format) — no separate dry-run step is needed
  5. Probe names are case-sensitive — always copy-paste from gcx synthetic-monitoring probes list

Workflow 1: Create New Check

Step 1: Determine Check Type

Pick the type from the target format (full decision tree and per-type templates: check-types.md):
