Cloud Insights in Grafana Cloud k6

Running tests has become common in recent years, but it’s only part of the story. The real value lies not just in testing but also in analyzing the results. Was the system under test stable? How was its performance?

On top of that, today’s systems are becoming increasingly more complex. When something goes wrong, finding the root cause can be difficult and time-consuming. Was it a browser, application, or database issue? Is there telemetry data that could help pinpoint the root cause? Can we make the system more transparent by eliminating its black box characteristics?

Cloud Insights in Grafana Cloud k6 analyzes telemetry data, such as metrics, logs, and traces generated during a test run, to automatically identify issues in your system under test or k6 script and provide recommendations on how to fix them. That can help you and your team save time when identifying the root cause of performance issues in your applications.

To use Cloud Insights, you must enable it in the Beta Features modal window in Testing & synthetics > Performance. For more information, refer to the Cloud Insights documentation.
