• In some cases like
  • When the synthetics agent buffer is not emptied properly, journey/end event will not be fired and summary event never gets created by Heartbeat for those monitors. reporter stream buffer is not emptied in all cases synthetics#446
  • When the synthetics process exits in the middle before firing journey/end event.

When the journey/end event never gets fired by the Synthetics agent, Heartbeat should still create heartbeat/summary event and mark that journey with error Journey did run to completion. This would avoid potential issues where the users were not given any meaningful action in the UI. https://github.com/elastic/sdh-kibana/issues/2659
