A Grafana Labs overview skill for testing and frontend monitoring in Grafana Cloud.
What the skill teaches
A Grafana Labs overview skill for testing and frontend monitoring in Grafana Cloud. It covers Synthetic Monitoring checks such as HTTP, DNS, TCP, ping and scripted browser checks run from global probes, with alerts on probe results and TLS certificate expiry; distributed load tests in Grafana Cloud k6 with thresholds that pass or fail a CI run; and Frontend Observability with the Faro Web SDK. Each workflow ends with a check, such as confirming probe results arrive or that the Faro collector accepted data, and includes a rollback step where relevant. It needs a Grafana Cloud stack and a token for each product used.
