Synthetics Heartbeat Canary shows success, logs indicate failure

Hello, I'm trying to sort out a Synthetics Heartbeat Canary that is monitoring our vendor's web services. We've pointed the canary at a collection of endpoint swagger pages as they don't require authentication.

We found an issue today where one of the services went down, but the canary kept showing things as working.

On closer inspection, the HTML page for the swagger page was being returned, but the page was requesting data via a javascript GET request for and that request was failing. ERROR: Request failed. ErrorText: net::ERR_ABORTED. Request: GET https://***************/api/ReferenceData/v1/ReferenceData-API-Swagger/swagger.json; ResourceType: fetch

I don't see any place in the autogenerated template where "ERROR: Request failed." is output to the logs. How do we capture this error and fail the canary?

The script I'm using is as follows:

const synthetics = require('Synthetics');
const log = require('SyntheticsLogger');
const syntheticsConfiguration = synthetics.getConfiguration();
const syntheticsLogHelper = require('SyntheticsLogHelper');

const loadBlueprint = async function () {

    const urls = [
        'https://*************/api/Accounting/v1/swagger/index.html',
        'https://*************/api/ReferenceData/v1/swagger/index.html',
        'https://*************/api/ReportWizard/v1/swagger/index.html',
        'https://*************/api/DataImport/v1/swagger/index.html'
    ];

    // Set screenshot option
    const takeScreenshot = true;

    /* Disabling default step screen shots taken during Synthetics.executeStep() calls
     * Step will be used to publish metrics on time taken to load dom content but
     * Screenshots will be taken outside the executeStep to allow for page to completely load with domcontentloaded
     * You can change it to load, networkidle0, networkidle2 depending on what works best for you.
     */
    syntheticsConfiguration.disableStepScreenshots();
    syntheticsConfiguration.setConfig({
       continueOnStepFailure: true,
       includeRequestHeaders: true, // Enable if headers should be displayed in HAR
       includeResponseHeaders: true, // Enable if headers should be displayed in HAR
       restrictedHeaders: [], // Value of these headers will be redacted from logs and reports
       restrictedUrlParameters: [] // Values of these url parameters will be redacted from logs and reports

    });

    let page = await synthetics.getPage();

    for (const url of urls) {
        await loadUrl(page, url, takeScreenshot);
    }
};

// Reset the page in-between
const resetPage = async function(page) {
    try {
        await page.goto('about:blank',{waitUntil: ['load', 'networkidle0'], timeout: 30000} );
    } catch (e) {
        synthetics.addExecutionError('Unable to open a blank page. ', e);
    }
}

const loadUrl = async function (page, url, takeScreenshot) {
    let stepName = null;
    let domcontentloaded = false;

    try {
        stepName = new URL(url).hostname;
    } catch (e) {
        const errorString = `Error parsing url: ${url}. ${e}`;
        log.error(errorString);
        /* If we fail to parse the URL, don't emit a metric with a stepName based on it.
           It may not be a legal CloudWatch metric dimension name and we may not have an alarms
           setup on the malformed URL stepName.  Instead, fail this step which will
           show up in the logs and will fail the overall canary and alarm on the overall canary
           success rate.
        */
        throw e;
    }

    await synthetics.executeStep(stepName, async function () {
        const sanitizedUrl = syntheticsLogHelper.getSanitizedUrl(url);

        /* You can customize the wait condition here. For instance, using 'networkidle2' or 'networkidle0' to load page completely.
           networkidle0: Navigation is successful when the page has had no network requests for half a second. This might never happen if page is constantly loading multiple resources.
           networkidle2: Navigation is successful when the page has no more then 2 network requests for half a second.
           domcontentloaded: It's fired as soon as the page DOM has been loaded, without waiting for resources to finish loading. If needed add explicit wait with await new Promise(r => setTimeout(r, milliseconds))
