Exclude `http` requests made in the setup and teardown functions

Grafana k6 OSS Support

Ah, this is similar to Ignore http calls made in Setup or Teardown in results? - #2 by nedyalko, and as I mention there, until we fix Add explicit tracking and ignoring of metrics and sub-metrics · Issue #1321 · grafana/k6 · GitHub there are some workarounds that are required to ignore metrics from setup() and teardown().

The easiest one is to surface a sub-metric of http_req_duration that doesn’t include them. And until we fix that issue, the easiest hack to do that is to set a bogus threshold on it, like this for example:

export let options = {
    thresholds: {
        'http_req_duration{scenario:default}': [`max>=0`],
    },
}

If you have multiple scenarios, you can add a custom tag to each via their tags option and use that instead of scenario:default. The important thing is to have a sub-metric that doesn’t include the metrics from setup() and teardown() and then work with that in handleSummary().

There are some more examples in this docs issue: Add example for sub-metrics by scenario (or other tags) in summary · Issue #205 · grafana/k6-docs · GitHub
