Workshop performance testing with K6 (Distributed testing)

• K6
• InfluxDB 2
• Grafana

Step to run

1. Install and build K6 + InfluxDB 2

• Go
• Git

$go install go.k6.io/xk6/cmd/xk6@latest
$xk6 build --with github.com/grafana/xk6-output-influxdb

Run K6

$k6 version

k6 v0.43.1 ((devel), go1.21rc2, darwin/arm64)
Extensions:
  github.com/grafana/xk6-output-influxdb v0.4.0, xk6-influxdb [output]

Run script with K6

$k6 run ./k6-script/demo.js

2. Run and Store result in InfluxDB 2

Start InfluxDB 2

$docker compose up -d influxdb
$docker compose ps
$docker compose logs --follow

Start Grafana

$docker compose up -d grafana
$docker compose ps
$docker compose logs --follow

Access to Grafana eith url = http://localhost:3000

• user=admin *password=admin

Run K6 script

$export K6_INFLUXDB_ORGANIZATION="influxdata-org"
$export K6_INFLUXDB_BUCKET="k6_results"
$export K6_INFLUXDB_TOKEN="5up3r-S3cr3t-auth-t0k3n"
$export K6_INFLUXDB_ADDR="http://localhost:8086"
$k6 run ./k6-script/demo.js -o xk6-influxdb

or Run K6 script with Docker compose

$docker compose build k6
$docker compose up k6 --remove-orphans
