k6 scripted checks in Synthetic Monitoring are now generally available

Generally AvailableSynthetic Monitoring
Release date: 2024-10-09

We’re excited to announce that k6 scripted checks in Synthetic Monitoring are now generally available.

k6 scripted checks were released in May 2024 as a public preview, to give you the power and flexibility to define your workflow tests in JavaScript, using the k6 API to efficiently author tests.

You can use scripted checks to:

  • Test services and applications that require complex logic.
  • Manipulate request/response data and pass data from one request to the next.
  • Test HTTP/S and WebSocket services.
  • Reuse the same k6 script for distinct testing goals.
A Synthetic Monitoring browser check dashboard, showing the uptime, reachability, and other metrics for that check.

To learn more, refer to the Create a k6 scripted check and k6 scripted check docs.
