Newrelic statsd integration in circle ci

Grafana k6 Converters & Integrations

I am struggling to send k6 data to new relic via new relic statsd integration when running from circle ci. Same code works fine when run in local.

IS THERE A COMMAND I AM MISSING TO MAKE NEWRELIC STATSD LISTEN TO K6???

here is the circle ci config.yml code

docker pull loadimpact/k6:latest

docker run \
  -d --restart unless-stopped \
  --name newrelic-statsd \
  -h bridge \
  -e NR_ACCOUNT_ID=******** \
  -e NR_API_KEY="****************" \
  -p 8125:8125/udp \
  newrelic/nri-statsd:latest
  

docker run -i -v $HOME/*********/lib/shim:/ci/ loadimpact/k6:latest run --out statsd /ci/script.js

Hi @pradeep

Welcome to the community forums! :wave:

Am I getting you right that if you run the commands from above (locally run docker containers) it works, but only when you’re running in CircleCI it fails? :thinking:

Cheers

The above log is from circle ci. Test is running succesfully, but data is not flowing to NewRelic, though i can see output is routed to statsd integration.

The same setup works fine when i am executing in my mac machine. So want to understand , where am i going wrong when executing the same script in circle ci. Does it have to do anything with connection between two images loadimpact/k6 , newrelic/nri-statsd

Hey @pradeep

To be honest, I’m not familiar with CircleCI. However, one thing that potentially, I guess can be an issue is that you start newrelic/nri-statsd:latest in a detached mode, and straight after loadimpact/k6 maybe the time in between isn’t enough for starting the newrelic/nri-statsd:latest :thinking:

Let me know if that helps,
Cheers

Any updates? I am stuck at same point
