Mastering Secrets Management for Grafana Cloud k6 Performance Testing

By

Grafana Cloud k6 now offers a built-in secrets management feature that lets you securely store and inject sensitive data—like API tokens, credentials, and keys—into your performance tests. This eliminates the need to hardcode secrets in scripts or share them manually, reducing the risk of exposure and making test maintenance easier as your testing suite grows. Secrets are stored centrally in Grafana Cloud, injected at runtime, and remain hidden in the UI after creation. Below, we answer the most common questions about using this feature effectively.
