K6 and Influxdb created empty database without data

Influxdb creates database but didn’t add data. It only created empty database, and returned 204 success message. I’m trying to follow the documentation to save data into Influxdb and I called it from the command line as detailed in the tutorial. I guessed it’s Influxdb problem but I wish someone who’d overcame something like this can help with a solution.

Run k6 with --verbose to see what’s happening in more detail.

This is the log I get when I added --verbose

C:\Users\GEGE\Documents\project\k6>k6 run --out influxdb=http://localhost:8086/myk6db default.js --verbose

And all the meta, data, and wall are empty

See the InfluxDB: Batch written! log messages - it means k6 successfully sent the data to InfluxDB. You are looking at the myk6db database in InfluxDB, right?

Thanks @ned I’m finally seeing the data by querying it from the client. I’m just wondering why it’s not showing in the folders

@ned, I left the project for a while, now I’m back at it. It is still not saving the data in the InfluxDB. I’d thought it was but when I checked it only created the empty tables, no data in them, and it returned a 204 success message.

Hi @ken4ward
I was wondering if you solved the problem, I faced the same problem.

Hi @cpolat,
your previous question was about InfluxDB v2 and this topic is around InfluxDB v1 so are you sure that the problem is the same?
Can you explain in more detail which problem are you facing, please? And if you’re using the v2 then it’s better if you open a new topic with the detailed info.

Hi @codebien

I’m using v2 and open new topic with the detailed info.

New topic : K6 and influxdb v2 not create database and add data

Best Regards
