Decrypting synthetic transactions with beacon packets

A system to decrypt synthetic transactions with beacon packets, comprising:

• a probe component comprising one or more processors to:
• receive, from a client device, a start beacon packet that identifies a test of a service provided by one or more servers;
• establish, responsive to receipt of the start beacon packet, a log for the test;
• identify, responsive to the start beacon packet, a plurality of data packets corresponding to the test transmitted between the client device and the one or more servers subsequent to the start beacon packet and encrypted, by the client device or the service, with a key using a security protocol;
• receive, from the client device, key information used to decrypt the plurality of data packets of the test encrypted with the key using the security protocol;
• and
• store, in the log established for the test, at least one of the plurality of data packets for evaluation or decryption using the key information to determine a performance of the service.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing executable instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to decrypt synthetic transactions, the instructions comprising instructions to:

• receive, from a client device, a start beacon packet that identifies a test of a service provided by one or more servers;
• establish, responsive to receipt of the start beacon packet, a log for the test;
• identify, responsive to the start beacon packet, a plurality of data packets corresponding to the test transmitted between the client device and the one or more servers subsequent to the start beacon packet and encrypted, by the client device or the service, with a key using a security protocol;
• receive, from the client device, key information used to decrypt the plurality of data packets of the test encrypted with the key using the security protocol;
• and
• store, in the log established for the test, at least one of the plurality of data packets for evaluation or decryption using the key information to determine a performance of the service.
