K6 Configuration on docker compose

Hi Team,

We running our test through docker-compose. All the services are up and running, but we are missing some precious data due to integration missing between the services. It takes time to configure everything manually. Guide me, on how to overcome these challenges automatically ( or pre-configured) through docker-compose.

Data source URLs are changing due to IP addresses and other things.

Is there are any option to create the grafana influxdb data source on the fly through the docker-compose.yml

environment:
      - K6_OUT=influxdb=http://172.24.22.2:8086/grafana

The first step would creating yml files for dash…
