Blog post from New Relic
In recent months, the New Relic Synthetics team has introduced several enhancements to improve the monitoring of applications critical to businesses, while also phasing out some legacy capabilities. Key updates include the implementation of role-based access control (RBAC) to manage user permissions, the ability to conduct GDPR-compliant monitoring from public and private locations within the EU, and the introduction of audit logging for major actions. Additionally, new functionalities such as monitor recheck and environment variables for private minions have been added, alongside updates to the Chrome runtime for better compatibility with recent web development technologies. The team also announced the end-of-life for legacy private minions, Linode public locations, and legacy Synthetics alerts, urging users to transition to newer alternatives for improved security, efficiency, and functionality.
