Data Visualization

Grafana Cloud

Hello,

Is it possible to directly visualize data from load tests on Grafana Cloud (k6)?
I have a pipeline for each load test, and I want to create a data visualization in Datadog (just results or real-time data). This is possible when the test runs locally, but not in the cloud - as I know.

I am using this GitHub action to run the load test: GitHub - grafana/run-k6-action: GitHub Action for running k6 tests

welcome @eco

Are the test results being dumped out as json

3

I thought about it, but how can I download json results from Grafana Cloud? I haven’t found anything interesting.

4

So are the outputs in JSON? Was the question

5

The outputs are visible on Grafana Cloud in specific project for example, and in pipeline I can only see output like that:

Run grafana/run-k6-action@v1
:mag: Validating test run files.
:test_tube: Found 1 valid K6 tests out of total 1 test files.

  1. /root/github-action-runner-work/GrafanaCloud-k6/GrafanaCloud-k6/bilka-basket/PREPROD/VUS-100.js
    :robot: Running test: k6 cloud /root/github-action-runner-work/GrafanaCloud-k6/GrafanaCloud-k6/bilka-basket/PREPROD/VUS-100.js

:globe_with_meridians: Test run URLs:

 test status: Finished

:white_check_mark: Test passed

So, when I will know how to export results data as JSON - the task will be completed.

Or the output with debug: true:

k6 run --out json=test_results.json script.js

or push your k6 metrics to influxdb

It’s not a correct solution, your code runs tests locally instead of Cloud.

Yes but That was just to show you the principle of how you can possibly save the test results
