Cloud tags
When a test runs in k6 Cloud, k6 adds two tags to all metrics. As with all tags in k6, you can use cloud tags to filter results.
| Tag name | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
load_zone | string | The load zone from where the metric was collected. Values are in the form: amazon:us :ashburn. |
instance_id | number | A unique number that represents the ID of a load-generator server taking part in the test. |
The cloud tags are automatically added when collecting test metrics. They work as regular tags do. For example, you can filter the results for a particular load zone, or define a Threshold based on the results of a load zone.
import http from 'k6/http';
export const options = {
vus: 50,
duration: '30s',
thresholds: {
'http_req_duration{load_zone:amazon:us:ashburn}': ['p(95)<500'],
'http_req_duration{load_zone:amazon:ie:dublin}': ['p(95)<800'],
},
ext: {
loadimpact: {
distribution: {
ashburnDistribution: { loadZone: 'amazon:us:ashburn', percent: 50 },
dublinDistribution: { loadZone: 'amazon:ie:dublin', percent: 50 },
},
},
},
};
export default function () {
http.get('https://test.k6.io/');
