Related Capabilities
| ID | Title | Description |
|---|
| CCC.Monitor.CP06 | Synthetic Monitoring | The service may be configured to run scripted sample user interactions against an application on a schedule from provider-operated locations, in order to identify issues before real users are impacted. |
| CCC.Monitor.CP07 | Uptime Monitoring | The service may be configured to probe an endpoint from external provider-operated locations on a schedule and record whether it is reachable and responding. |
Related Threats
| ID | Title | Description |
|---|
| CCC.Monitor.TH03 | Monitoring Probes Overload the Monitored Target | Synthetic and uptime checks may be configured with excessive frequency, concurrency, or number of provider-operated locations, or their definitions may be modified to point at a different target. The probe traffic then consumes the capacity of the monitored endpoint from trusted provider address ranges that are typically exempt from rate limiting. This impacts the availability of the monitored system. |
Assessment Requirements
