Uptime Monitors - Synthetic Monitors (Orphaned)

[zx8086]

Hi,

For some reason I have Uptime Monitors which are orphaned as I am not running any Browser Synthetic Integrations from within Fleet. Would like to somehow remove these.

Kibana version:
8.7

Hi @zx8086,

Thanks for posting the question.

Is it an active monitor i.e. do new results come in? And, do you see any policies under Integrations -> Elastic Synthetics -> Integration policies?

Hi @abdulz

There are no active Browser Synthetics and no Monitors under under Integrations -> Elastic Synthetics -> Integration policies that are not accounted for.

Hi @zx8086 ,

Can you help us understand how you end on this situation and also provide some information so that we can have a better understanding of the issue. What you end up on is not a known scenario that we have a clue of atm.

1. Did you create a private location via Uptime Monitor Management or via Synthetics?
2. Or any other action/integration you think might have caused this?
3. Can you send us a snapshot of how policies look under the synthetics integration and the policy config of any one of the policies which are related to the above monitors (with sensitive information redacted).

1. These were already there before the introduction of the Synthetic UI. Been using the elastic-complete container to run the Monitors.

2. N / A

3. We have removed the Browser Synthetics, so providing the monitors which are all http based.
