Has anyone successfully got k6 tests running in circleCI and outputting results to datadog?

As titled really, using the k6 orb I’ve got tests running fine via circleCI, however I need to get the results in datadog?

I’m not too concerned with real-time results, can you just take an output file and upload it to datadog?

It seems real-time results and statsD are in a bit of a mess with needing extensions and issues with the quality of the numbers reported. Has this improved any?

I’m struggling to find clearcut information on how to achieve this, any help would be very well received!

Hi @nicholaspshaw,

Welcome back to the community forums! And apologies for the delayed answer :pray:

Here you can find our official docs about how to send the results to Datadog.
Have you tried with the xk6-output-statsd extension?

Yes, as aforementioned, it requires the xk6-output-statsd extension.
You’ll find detailed instructions in the link I shared above.

But, did you experience any specific issue?
If so, maybe you can try to report it in the extension’s repository.

I’m sorry, but we officially don’t support Datadog output, as we prefer to spend our limited amount of resources to have a great integration with the rest of the Grafana Labs solutions.

That being said, I’d be happy to help you with any k6-specific issue.

Thanks! :bowing_man:
