Check Results are the outcomes of every monitoring test that Checkly runs. You can select any check on the main Checkly dashboard to get an overview of the results they have produced so far. Select a check and you will see a breakdown of its recent runs, together with key availability and performance metrics. Each time a Check executes—whether it’s testing an API endpoint, clicking through a user flow, or verifying a service connection—it generates a Result that captures everything that happened during that test run. Results are more than just pass or fail indicators. They’re comprehensive records that include performance metrics, error details, screenshots, network traces, and any other telemetry that helps you understand not just whether something worked, but how well it worked and why it might have failed.
