Im currently using Dynatrace Monaco v2.3.0 to manage my Dynatrace configuration and I'm trying to create an external monitor of type SYNTHETIC. (API /api/v1/synthetic/ext/tests ). However, it seems that Monaco is not currently supporting the creation of external monitors.
I have reviewed the documentation (list of supported apis in monaco) and searched through community forums to confirm that this is a current limitation. However, before I close this case, I was wondering if someone from the support team could let me know if there is a way to create external monitors using Monaco, or if this is a feature expected to be added in a future release.
Slightly different, check out how it can be done with containerized auto-scalable private location deployment, eliminating the need to deploy individual synthetic ActiveGates on separate hosts or virtual machines:

In my case, the tests are executed from a third-party source. So, I think that defining a new location within a cluster will not help me because I don't want Dynatrace to execute my tests. Instead, I want the third party to push the test data to Dynatrace ( API /api/v1/synthetic/ext/tests ). I was wondering if there was a way to create the synthetic placeholder (id, name, url etc) using Monaco and then send the test run data updates using the API.
