Creating and configuring a regression dashboard

Follow this guide to create a regression dashboard and configure metric chart widgets.
If you do not have any completed load tests yet, create one and run it several times in a row. You can find examples of load test scenarios in Tutorials.

To create and configure a regression dashboard:

1. Create a dashboard.
2. Select a time interval.
3. Add regression charts.
4. Add descriptive text.
5. Save or edit data on the dashboard.
6. Add or delete a dashboard.

1. In the management console, select Load Testing.
2. In the left-hand panel, select Regressions.
3. Create your first dashboard by clicking Create dashboard.
4. In the dialog that opens, give your dashboard a name and, optionally, add a description. Click Apply.

The dashboard page features a timeline at the top, highlighting the interval used to display regressions.
Two blue vertical lines indicate the interval boundaries.
The red vertical line shows the current moment.
Above the timeline, you will find a panel for selecting the interval length.

To customize your dashboard, add your first regression chart:

4. Optionally, in the Quantile list, select the values to add to the chart and specify a condition for each.

5. Optionally, under Rules for tests, specify a name common for the tests you want to include in the sample. The test name serves as a filter: if left blank, all your tests will be included.

6. You can also filter tests using labels. To do this, click Add label in the Test tags field and select a label and its value.
   Make sure at least one of your tests is labeled.
