Hello,

I discovered that in Kibana 9.5.4 in the Synthetics Monitors UI the Frequency dropdown filter shows "Every 10 minutes" but it filters the monitors with frequency 10 seconds.

So, the monitors frequency is set to 10s and the monitor details show the correct value but the filter replaces seconds with minutes

It's something small but can be confusing if you have a lot of monitors.

Hi Peter,

Thanks for reporting this. It looks indeed like a Kibana v9.5.4 issue.

Until it's fixed you can:

- Use tags: add a tag such as `frequency:10s` to seconds-based monitors, then filter by Tags. Update the tag if you change the monitor's schedule.
- Use Dev Tools: run `GET kbn:/api/synthetics/monitors?perPage=1000`, click **Filter response** in the output panel, and enter the JQ expression `[.monitors[] | select(.schedule.unit == "s") | {name: .name, schedule: .schedule}]` to filter out the monitors with `s` frequency (replace with `m` for minutes).
