            "testName": "my_load_test_case",
            "measurementName": "Latency",
            "errorMeasurementName": "ClientSideErrors",
            "testRunId": "342-233-221",
            "tags": {
                "environment": "joes-dev-box",
                "host": "joe-dev.somewhere.org"
