this is very cool! nice work!

I'm curious about the visualization side. Do you have anything currently setup with kibana? What else are you thinking about?

[asilvas]

Yes we do have generic visualizations broken out by groups/categories.

The dashboard is nothing special, but could potentially provide to help save some time.

LH4U provides test isolation (versus in cicd pipelines where slaves are often competing for resources), provides us pre-RUM synthetics enabling us to hook into our PR pipelines and block merges, and supports secured apps (basic auth, JWT, etc).

[paulirish]

btw is that plot something that comes for free with l4u, or did you configure it against the ES data?

@paulirish It's just a basic view I setup in Kibana (trivial task), which is not currently included in LH4U. Once we have a better idea of how folks want to visualize this data we can create a Kibana dashboard for importing. Out of the box we only save to Elasticsearch; how that data is consumed/visualized is up to you.
