Settings
k6 Studio includes a few settings you can configure by clicking on Settings on the bottom-left side of the application.
Recorder settings
Automatically detect browser
When this setting is enabled, k6 Studio looks for Google Chrome in the default installation path in your system. For Linux ARM64 distributions, k6 Studio looks for Chromium instead.
You can turn off this setting and provide a custom path to a Google Chrome or a Chromium-based browser executable file.
Proxy settings
Port number
The port number that the proxy recorder should listen to. By default, it’s set to 6000. You can customize this value and turn on or off the option to allow k6 Studio to find a different port if the one that’s specified is in use.
Proxy mode
There are two configuration options for proxy mode:
- Regular: The default mode where k6 Studio proxies requests.
- Upstream: k6 Studio forwards requests to a server you specify. This mode is useful when your system is already behind another proxy, and you need k6 Studio to forward requests to it instead.
If you choose the Upstream mode, you have to configure a Server URL value, and you can optionally provide authentication credentials and a certificate file.
Telemetry
Send anonymous usage data
k6 Studio sends anonymous usage data of the k6 Studio application to Grafana. This is enabled by default, and you can turn it off if you’d like not to send any data. Refer to Usage collection for more details.
Send crash reports and error data
k6 Studio sends anonymous crash reports and error data of the k6 Studio application to Grafana. This is enabled by default, and you can turn it off if you’d like not to send any data. Refer to Usage collection for more details.
Appearance
Theme
Customize the overall theme of the application. The options are: Light, Dark, and System.
Logs
Shows logs from the application in real time. This can help users view if there are any errors affecting k6 Studio, and share that information if necessary when reporting issues.
AI
The AI settings let you configure the OpenAI integration used by the Autocorrelation feature.
OpenAI API key
Enter your OpenAI API key to enable AI-powered Autocorrelation. You can create an API key at platform.openai.com/api-keys.
Note
Your API key is encrypted using your operating system’s secure storage (such as Keychain on macOS or Credential Manager on Windows) and is not transmitted to Grafana Labs.
Data processing disclaimer
When you use AI features, data from your recording is sent to OpenAI for processing. This includes request and response data that the AI analyzes to create correlation rules. Usage is subject to your OpenAI agreement and associated billing.
Review the disclaimer in the settings panel for full terms before enabling AI features.
