What limit is enforced for the number of redirects followed by Synthetic monitoring?

In Synthetic monitoring, a limit of ten redirects is enforced to ensure efficient and effective monitoring of web applications. Following a predetermined number of redirects allows Synthetic tests to avoid excessive latency, which could affect the accuracy of performance measurements. By limiting the redirects to ten, Dynatrace can provide relevant insights into the performance of the monitored websites without getting bogged down in a potential loop of endless redirects or overly complex paths. This limitation balances thoroughness with efficiency, enabling users to analyze the response time and behavior of a web page after the critical number of redirects without excessive delay.
