Getting k6 cloud stats to NewRelic with statsd?

Grafana k6 Cloud Support

I’ve been using k6 run to load our app, and it’s been really handy to send the stats out to NewRelic so I can line up the behaviour of our stuff with the changes to the tests.

I want to run some bigger and heavier tests now that my laptop can’t really do, and I can’t find a way to do this with k6 cloud; we’re on the Developer plan, and I can’t see this as an advertised thing at higher levels; is it an option there?

The obvious thing to do here is just spin up a VM and run it myself, but that doesn’t feel like what k6-the-subscription-provider would be encouraging. Is this a thing that I can use my sub for, or is self-hosting the way?

Hi Avi, welcome to the forum :slight_smile:

Integration with New Relic is supported in k6 Cloud, but only on specific plans. See the documentation.

I’m not sure if your specific subscription covers it, but I would contact support@k6.io to get a clear answer.

Oh! Thank you! I don’t know how I missed that page, all I kept finding was the one about doing it locally.

I’ll see if we’d prefer to upgrade our plan or give even more money to AWS :slight_smile: Maybe I just need a beefier laptop…
