# Check metrics

Synthetic Monitoring check results are stored as Prometheus metrics in your Grafana Cloud Prometheus instance. The following is a list of metrics common to all check types:

| Metric                       | Description                                                         |
|------------------------------|---------------------------------------------------------------------|
| `probe_all_duration_seconds` | Returns how long the probe took to complete in seconds (histogram). |
| `probe_duration_seconds`     | Returns how long the probe took to complete in seconds.             |
| `probe_all_success`          | Displays whether or not the probe was a success (summary).          |
| `probe_success`              | Displays whether or not the probe was a success.                    |
| `sm_check_info`              | Provides information about a single check configuration.            |

Additionally, each check type also generates its own set of metrics:

- [DNS metrics](https://grafana.com/docs/grafana-cloud/observe-and-act/testing/synthetic-monitoring/create-checks/checks/dns/#metrics)
- [HTTP metrics](https://grafana.com/docs/grafana-cloud/observe-and-act/testing/synthetic-monitoring/create-checks/checks/http/#metrics)
- [k6 browser metrics](https://grafana.com/docs/grafana-cloud/observe-and-act/testing/synthetic-monitoring/create-checks/checks/k6-browser/#metrics)
- [k6 scripted metrics](https://grafana.com/docs/grafana-cloud/observe-and-act/testing/synthetic-monitoring/create-checks/checks/k6/#metrics)
- [MultiHTTP metrics](https://grafana.com/docs/grafana-cloud/observe-and-act/testing/synthetic-monitoring/create-checks/checks/multihttp/#metrics)
- [Ping metrics](https://grafana.com/docs/grafana-cloud/observe-and-act/testing/synthetic-monitoring/create-checks/checks/ping/#metrics)
- [TCP metrics](https://grafana.com/docs/grafana-cloud/observe-and-act/testing/synthetic-monitoring/create-checks/checks/tcp/#metrics)
- [Traceroute metrics](https://grafana.com/docs/grafana-cloud/observe-and-act/testing/synthetic-monitoring/create-checks/checks/traceroute/#metrics)

All check metrics carry the `job`, `instance`, `probe`, and `config_version` labels. Each check type also generates additional labels. For the complete list of labels, refer to [system labels](https://grafana.com/docs/grafana-cloud/observe-and-act/testing/synthetic-monitoring/system-labels/).
