Setup k6 to use InfluxDB v2

Grafana k6
1

I have been able to use InfluxDB v1 successfully with K6. I’m trying to use InfluxDB v2, and followed a promising tutorial https://github.com/grafana/xk6-output-influxdb. After completing this I ran into issue, and do not know how to resolve it.


          /\      |‾‾| /‾‾/   /‾‾/   
     /\  /  \     |  |/  /   /  /    
    /  \/    \    |     (   /   ‾‾\  
   /          \   |  |\  \ |  (‾)  | 
  / __________ \  |__| \__\ \_____/ .io

ERRO[0000] invalid output type 'xk6-influxdb', available types are: cloud, csv, influxdb, json, statsd

This is the command I ran on the terminal

K6_INFLUXDB_ORGANIZATION=organization \
K6_INFLUXDB_BUCKET=newsample \
K6_INFLUXDB_TOKEN=<token> \
./k6 run -o xk6-influxdb=http://localhost:8086 sample.js

How do I resolve this issue?

Hi @ken4ward,
welcome back to the community forum :tada:

Apparently, you’re not using the xk6 binary built using the suggested command: xk6 build --with github.com/grafana/xk6-output-influxdb. Are you sure you’re running the local ./k6 run -o binary and not the global k6 run -o without extensions? Note the difference with the relative path.

Can you post the version you get if you run the ./k6 version command?
