Hi @Amol_Nagotkar,

Is your monitor stuck in pending? Are you making use of a custom ingest pipeline?

I wonder if you are encountering a similar issue to [this topic](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/elastic-synthetics-stuck-in-pending-with-private-location/361587). Can you check and confirm?

Hope that helps!
