Open your Synthetic Monitoring dashboard in Logz.io
Give your metrics some time to get from your system to ours, and then open Logz.io Metrics.
Your metrics should appear in the preconfigured dashboard in your Metrics account. Use the Synthetic Monitoring Dashboard to monitor your website performance and availability via Logz.io.
