Templates

New Chaos Studio Feature

Templates are part of the enhanced New Chaos Studio experience. If you're an existing customer and want access to new features, contact your Harness support representative. For more details, see New Chaos Studio Features.

Templates are reusable, pre-configured components that help you standardize and accelerate your chaos engineering practices. Templates provide a foundation for creating consistent experiments across your organization while maintaining flexibility for customization.

You can create faults, probes, and actions in two ways:

  • Direct Creation: Create components directly through their specific sections (Faults, Probes, Actions) for one-time use
  • Template-Based Creation: Create components from templates when you need reusable, standardized configurations across multiple experiments

Templates allow you to:

  • Standardize chaos engineering practices across teams
  • Reduce experiment creation time with pre-built components
  • Ensure best practices and consistent configurations
  • Share proven patterns across projects and environments
  • Maintain version control for your chaos engineering assets

Types of Templates​

Harness Chaos supports templates for three core components:

1. Fault Templates​

Fault Templates provide pre-configured chaos faults that can be reused across experiments.

Template Scopes​

Templates can be managed at different organizational levels:

  • Account Level: Shared across projects within an account
  • Organization Level: Available across the entire organization
  • Project Level: Available within a specific project
