To avoid creating meaningless datasets which would result from creating an average of a metric across multiple monitors and to prevent UX confusion with commonly named steps across multiple monitors showing up in the steps menu, we should implement the following:
In a synthetics series:
Monitor field is single select
The step name field related to the monitor is single select
If no monitor is selected BUT there's a value in the URL field - that value will show the requested metric across all matching instances of that URL across every monitor and step
If a monitor and or step is selected then the URL filter will show results only for matching URLs within the selected monitor and or step.
