Author Grafana Cloud Synthetic Monitoring checks, with deep coverage of k6 scripted and browser checks: SM's single-VU/single-iteration execution model, assertions that actually fail probe_success (expect() and fail() vs bare check()), secrets, deterministic scripts, robust browser locators, local validation with k6 run, deployment via UI/API/Terraform, verifying probe_success, and rollback. Also helps choose the simplest sufficient check type (HTTP/ping/DNS/TCP, MultiHTTP, scripted, browser). Use when writing a synthetic check, monitoring a login/checkout/signup flow in production, converting a k6 script or an OpenAPI spec into a check, authoring a browser check, validating a user journey, or asking "is my site up from multiple regions". NOT for load, stress, or performance testing — SM runs one iteration per execution; for load tests use the grafana-k6 plugin or Grafana Cloud k6. For the broad Grafana Cloud Testing overview (SM + k6 Cloud + Faro), use the testing skill.
