Grafana k6 Browser Recorder Extension

The extension records all of the HTTP(S) requests that your browser makes, creates a test script, and allows you to upload the test to your Grafana Cloud account, where a load test can be executed.

Once uploaded to your Grafana Cloud account, you can edit the test script using the powerful high-level language JavaScript. The script editor has syntax highlighting and a linter is run on save to help you avoid syntax errors and other common scripting mistakes.
