SynCreator

A condition simulator for Splunk Synthetic Monitoring. Create test scenarios (errors, delays, security issues) and point your synthetic tests at them.

Quick Start

git clone https://github.com/rcastley/SynCreator
cd SynCreator
python3 -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate
pip install -r requirements.txt
python app.py

Open http://localhost:8080 and register a new account.

The database is created automatically on first run.

Production

# Using waitress (recommended)
waitress-serve --port=8080 --call app:create_app

# Or with Docker
docker compose up -d

Set SECRET_KEY environment variable in production:

export SECRET_KEY="your-secret-key-here"
