k6 scripted checks in Synthetic Monitoring are now generally available

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.
