k6 browser checks in Synthetic Monitoring are generally available

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

k6 browser checks allow you to go beyond traditional monitoring, enabling you to test and validate real user flows and gain insight into performance in ways you can’t with HTTP-level checks. With browser checks, you’re not just monitoring performance at a protocol level; you’re simulating user interactions that provide you with a much richer view of your app’s behavior in production.

With k6 browser checks, you can control a headless Chrome browser using a Grafana k6 script. Powered by the k6 browser module, these checks can:

  • Simulate critical user journeys from across the globe
  • Measure real-world frontend performance with Web Vitals
  • Catch regressions before they reach production
  • Use the same scripts across Grafana Cloud k6 and Synthetic Monitoring

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