Using Gatling with InfluxDB

[tinac...@hotmail.com]

Hi,

I'm following -> https://gatling.io/docs/2.3/realtime_monitoring/


If I'm using InfluxDB as a datasource I don't need Graphite aswell? Is this correct?


InFluxDB is installed on my Jenkins box -

10.88.20.67

where the Gatling Load is run from :-

[root@doc-lab-demo 457]# influx
Connected to http://localhost:8086 version 1.4.2
InfluxDB shell version: 1.4.2
> show databases
name: databases
name
----
_internal
>


gatling.conf is configured for the following :-

data {
  writers = [console, file, graphite]      # The list of DataWriters to which Gatling write simulation data (currently supported : console, file, graphite, jdbc)
  

....

graphite {
  #light = false              # only send the all* stats
  host = "10.88.20.67"         # The host where the Carbon server is located
  port = 2003                # The port to which the Carbon server listens to (2003 is default for plaintext, 2004 is default for pickle)
  protocol = "tcp"           # The protocol used to send data to Carbon (currently supported : "tcp", "udp")
  rootPathPrefix = "gatling" # The common prefix of all metrics sent to Graphite
  #bufferSize = 8192          # GraphiteDataWriter's internal data buffer size, in bytes
  #writeInterval = 1          # GraphiteDataWriter's write interval, in seconds

 /etc/influxdb/influxdb.conf  is configured for the following :-

[[graphite]]
  # Determines whether the graphite endpoint is enabled.
   enabled = true
   database = "gatlingdb"
  # retention-policy = ""
   bind-address = ":2003"
   protocol = "tcp"
  # consistency-level = "one"
......
   templates = [
           "gatling.*.*.*.* measurement.simulation.request.status.field",
           "gatling.*.users.*.* measurement.simulation.measurement.request.field"
   ]


I've run the load a few times now via Jenkins but as you can see it is not listing the gatlingdb database in influxDB.

Am I missing a step somewhere?
How can I see logs for it? I tried debug in logback.xml, but this shows nothing.

I want to see the stats in the influxdb database before I move onto Grafana.

Try to restart the Influxdb. It's necessary if you change the influxdb.conf

I have tried restating influxdb loads of times already :-

sudo service influxdb stop
sudo service influxdb status
sudo service influxdb start
sudo service influxdb status

Are there any logs I can look at to see if anything is happening?

This issue is solved....it wasn't picking up my conf directory from build.gradle...I had to add the following :-

sourceSets {
    simulations {
        scala {
            srcDirs = ['src/test/gatling/user-files/simulations']
        }

        resources {
            srcDirs = ['src/test/gatling/user-files/simulations', 'src/test/gatling/user-files/data', 'src/test/gatling/user-files/body', 'src/test/gatling/conf']
        }
        compileClasspath += configurations.gatling
    }
}

Thanks For the Help,
Tina.
