xk6-dashboard
natively
Running the Note
The xk6-dashboard
extension was transferred to the Grafana organization thanks to @szkiba!
- Generate a k6 binary with the grafana/xk6-dashboard extension
go install go.k6.io/xk6/cmd/xk6@latest xk6 build --with github.com/grafana/xk6-dashboard@latest
- Run a test using run-dashboard.sh
./run-dashboard.sh scripts/ramping-arr-rate.js
- Access the dashboard at http://127.0.0.1:5665/
Build multiple extensions into a single Docker image
- Generate a multi-extension Docker image of k6 using Dockerfile.
docker build -t k6-extended:latest .
xk6-output-influxdb
extension within Docker
Running the - Start our Grafana service backed by InfluxDB
docker compose -f influxdb/docker-compose.yml up

./run-influxdb.sh scripts/ramping-arr-rate.js
- Access the Grafana dashboard at http://localhost:3000/
- Shutdown Docker when finished running scripts
docker compose -f influxdb/docker-compose.yml down
xk6-output-timescaledb
extension within Docker
Running the - Start our Grafana service backed by InfluxDB
docker compose -f timescaledb/docker-compose.yml up

./run-timescaledb.sh scripts/ramping-arr-rate.js
- Access the Grafana dashboard at http://localhost:3000/
- Shutdown Docker when finished running scripts
docker compose -f timescaledb/docker-compose.yml down
xk6-output-prometheus-remote
extension within Docker
Running the Important
The xk6-output-prometheus-remote
extension is now built into the native k6 binary as an experimental extension.
This removes the need to specially compile the extension, but does change some of the usage.
- Start our Grafana service backed by Prometheus
docker compose -f prometheus/docker-compose.yml up
- Run a test using run-prometheus.sh
./run-prometheus.sh scripts/ramping-arr-rate.js
- Access the Grafana dashboard at http://localhost:3000/
- Shutdown Docker when finished running scripts
docker compose -f prometheus/docker-compose.yml down
