With remote clusters configured in **{{synthetics-app}} → Settings → Remote clusters**, monitor data from remote {{es}} clusters appears in the Synthetics UI alongside your local monitors.

### Overview [synthetics-analyze-remote-monitors-overview]

Remote monitors are identified by a **Remote** badge showing the cluster name, displayed next to the monitor type badge.

When remote monitors are present, a **Remote cluster** filter option appears alongside **Type**, **Location**, **Tags**, and **Frequency**. Use it to scope the overview to monitors from one or more specific remote clusters. When a remote cluster filter is active, local monitors are hidden and status counts (for example, Up or Down) reflect only the filtered set.

To group monitors by remote cluster, select **Group by → Remote cluster**.

### Monitor details [synthetics-analyze-remote-monitors-details]

You can open a remote monitor's individual page the same way as a local monitor. The page displays a **Remote** badge showing the cluster name.

Because remote monitors have no local saved object, the following actions are not available:

- **Edit monitor**
- **Enable/Disable**
- **Delete**
- **Run test manually**

**Refresh** remains available. To edit, enable/disable, or delete a remote monitor, use the Synthetics UI on the {{kib}} where the monitor is defined.

Remote monitors (meaning monitors loaded from remote {{es}} clusters using {{ccs}}) are read-only. **Edit**, **Enable/Disable**, and **Delete** actions are not available for them. To manage a remote monitor, use the {{synthetics-app}} on the {{kib}} where the monitor is defined.
