Count request timeouts

Is there a way to count the request timeouts somehow rather than having them show in total sum of failed requests :thinking:.

Hi @rdt.one
Yes, it is possible to output the console with a high timeout. Example:

 import { check } from 'k6';
import http from 'k6/http';

export default function() {
  const res = http.get('https://k6.io');
  
    if (res.timings.duration >  3.0) { // 3.0 - time in second
      console.log('timeout');
    }

Examples of server responses

@PaulM That is not exactly what I was looking for. I was looking for a short way to represent request timeouts at the end test summary console output.

I did managed to implement it via custom Rate metric.

export function validateResponse(response, endpoint, trend) {

  let status = response.status;

  if (status === 0) { // k6 sets status code to '0' for timeout requests
    timeouts.add(true);
    fail('Request timeout for ' + endpoint);
  } else if (status >= 500 && status <= 600) {
    server_error.add(true);
    fail('Server error happened for ' + endpoint);
  } else if ( !(status === 200 || status === 204))
    {
    unsuccessful.add(true);
    fail('API did not return successful response for ' + endpoint + '. Status code was: ' + status);
  } else {
    trend.add(response.timings.duration);
  }

}
