# CloudWatch Synthetics Group

CloudWatch Synthetics Group is a resource in AWS that represents a collection of canaries, which are configurable scripts that monitor endpoints and APIs by simulating user interactions. This group allows you to organize and manage multiple canaries together, making it easier to track performance, availability, and errors across related synthetic tests. It helps streamline monitoring and troubleshooting by grouping canaries with similar purposes or applications.
