Thanks Mike_Rodrigues - the support ticket number is 00307439. Would be happy to demonstrate the issue for you on a call if that helps.
The datasource does allow me to add a CDP, but when I do then the datasource stops polling altogether until I remove it.
Support also recommended using a service insight, which could work in the short term. But service insights are not scalable so would not be a good solution for us since we would have to manually create a service for each synthetic check in order to effectively alert. Maybe a dynamic service insight could work once they are released.
It would really benefit us and others who use synthetics if we are able to create complex datapoints, so that we don't have to use additional licensing on service insights just to do the same thing as a CDP.
Thanks for the reference number Matt_Whitney . Given that it allows you to add a CDP but breaks collection, there's likely backend work required to get CDPs operating. This is a bigger change than something like allowing a slightly differently named module to apply to a Synthetics resource.
Dynamic Service Insights has been GA for a month or so, but not ideal from a licensing perspective for this use case.
