Hello everyone!

I have a question. I need to monitor a webpage, which is only available using certificate authetication.

Can you please tell me, how can I configure it?

Hi @Yosi_Neuman.

It is an http monitor, but I need to monitor webpage using browser, because it is dynamically rendered by js.

[Yosi_Neuman]

Hi @ksverchkov 

For browser click path check HTTP authentication

Hope this will help you better

@Yosi_Neuman , it is better, but it is still not ssl authentication. HTTP authentication is another thing.

[Yosi_Neuman]

HI @ksverchkov 

With HTTP authentication you pick an authentication from the Credential vault for synthetic monitors

One kind of authentication that you can store with in this vault is certificate 

Hope now you got full answer to your question

@Yosi_Neuman , I also hope, that now I have got a full answer for my question, but I am trying to do it in on-line mode.

So, I created a credential:

After it I go and try to create a synthetic request with this credential:

And there is no ssl authentication.

Can you show an example?

Is this what you're looking for? https://www.dynatrace.com/support/help/whats-new/release-notes/saas/sprint-272#certificate-authentic...

[ksverchkov]

Yes, it it, what I was looking for.

So before the version 1.272 this feature was not available?

Maybe some there was any workaround?

* we have version 1.262

Ah, ok. We previously had a more manual version which could be used on Private Synthetic ActiveGates. Unfortunately, it's not supported but I can confirm that other customers are using the same set up successfully. If you open a chat, one of my colleagues will be able to provide the instructions specific to your OS.

What chat? I can not find it.

@HannahM  probably referring to a chat with Dynatrace One.

Alternatively, if it wasn't available then you can see how to turn it on:
