Screenshot thumbnails for browser checks in Synthetic Monitoring Timepoint Explorer
Screenshot thumbnails for browser checks in Synthetic Monitoring Timepoint Explorer
When debugging browser check failures like “timeout waiting for a selector”, you previously had to rely on text logs alone to understand what the browser rendered. Now, with screenshot thumbnails in the Timepoint Explorer and ad-hoc test panel, you can see exactly what the page looked like at the moment the check ran.
Your k6 browser script captures a screenshot during execution and pushes the image data to storage. The frontend automatically detects screenshot references in the execution logs and renders inline thumbnails with click-to-enlarge. Two storage options are supported:
- Cloud Storage solutions such as AWS S3 and Google Cloud Storage (upload the image to your AWS S3 or Google Cloud Storage bucket, and store a URL reference in Loki).
- Grafana Loki (base64 chunks stored directly in your logs stack)
We recommend using Cloud Storage options as we will not support the Loki model long term.
Example scripts for both storage approaches are included in the browser check editor’s Examples tab.
