Analyze test results in Grafana Cloud

In this milestone, you analyze your k6 test results in Grafana Cloud dashboards to understand performance metrics and identify potential issues.

1. In the main menu, navigate to Testing & synthetics > Performance.

2. If you have the results URL from your terminal, open it now. Otherwise, on the Performance home page, open the project that contains your test from Recent activity or Starred, or go to Testing & synthetics > Performance > Projects and select the project.

3. If your test is still running, check Active test runs on the Performance home page and open the run from there. Otherwise, on the project page, select your test, then open the most recent test run to view the Performance Overview dashboard.

4. Review the Performance Overview dashboard, which displays test summary information (duration, virtual users, iterations), HTTP request statistics (total requests, success rate, error rate), response time metrics (average, median, p95), and throughput metrics (requests per second, data transfer rates).

5. Scroll down to the Cloud Insights section.

   Cloud Insights analyzes your test script and results, then generates scores and recommendations across categories such as best practice, reliability, and system performance.

6. After you open a test run, select the HTTP tab to review detailed request metrics for each endpoint.

7. Select the Thresholds tab to review the default and custom thresholds for your test, such as http_req_failed and http_req_duration.

You now know how to find your test results in Grafana Cloud and read the performance overview, Cloud Insights, HTTP details, and thresholds for your test.
