What's new in Elastic Observability 7.10: User experience monitoring and synthetics
Blog post from Elastic
Elastic Observability 7.10 introduces a set of new features aimed at enhancing user experience monitoring and synthetic testing capabilities. The update includes a new User Experience app in Kibana that allows developers to monitor website performance in real time, focusing on key metrics like Google's Core Web Vitals, and provides insights into user interactions based on client-side attributes. Additionally, multistep synthetic tests in Elastic Uptime allow developers to simulate and monitor complex user flows in pre-production environments, reducing false positives and enhancing proactive issue detection. The release also introduces one-click anomaly detection for infrastructure monitoring, helping teams identify unusual resource behaviors with minimal manual effort, and a PHP agent for Elastic APM to support PHP-based web applications. Furthermore, the launch of searchable snapshots enables cost-effective data analysis on object stores like S3, optimizing storage costs without sacrificing query performance. These updates are designed to provide deeper visibility and optimize operational workflows across various layers of digital monitoring.
