Live Monitoring with Gatling-InfluxDB-Grafana

[anthony...@gmail.com]

Hi Everyone,

My question was already asked on this group but I didn't succeed to solve my issue.

I don't succeed to send my data from Gatling in real time to InfluxDB.

Gatling Version: 2.3.0 (the last one)

InfluxDB version: 1.3.5 (the last is 1.3.6)

My gatling.conf:

 

data {
    writers = [console, file, graphite]      # The list of DataWriters to which Gatling write simulation data (currently supported : console, file, graphite, jdbc)
    console {
      #light = false                # When set to true, displays a light version without detailed request stats
    }
    file {
      #bufferSize = 8192            # FileDataWriter's internal data buffer size, in bytes
    }
    leak {
      #noActivityTimeout = 30  # Period, in seconds, for which Gatling may have no activity before considering a leak may be happening
    }
    graphite {
      #light = false              # only send the all* stats
      host = "127.0.0.1"         # 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
    }
  }

My influxdb.conf:

[http]
  # Determines whether HTTP endpoint is enabled.
   enabled = true


  # The bind address used by the HTTP service.
   bind-address = "127.0.0.1:8086"


###
### [[graphite]]
###
### Controls one or many listeners for Graphite data.
###


[[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"
   ]

My gatlingdb database is created on InfluxDB, it stays empty.

When I try:

C:\InfluxDB-1.3.5-1>influx -host 127.0.0.1

I'm connected to InfluxDB

>USE gatlingdb

I'm connected to my database. Then:

>SHOW SERIES

and

>SELECT * FROM gatling

Don't return anything. It's empty. 

Note: I put "FROM gatling" because I put that in my gatling.conf: rootPathPrefix = "gatling"

I didn't download Graphite but I saw that InfluxDB accept the graphite protocol. I assume I can send data from Gatling to InfluxDB. I certainly missed something.

I succeeded in connecting InfluxDB to Grafana and I display data from other databases. I just missed the connection between Gatling and InfluxDB.

Thanks in advance for your help, I definitely need it!

Hello, what is some solution to this problem?

Greetings.

Hola a todos,

Mi pregunta ya se hizo en este grupo, pero no logré resolver mi problema.

No logro enviar mis datos de Gatling en tiempo real a InfluxDB.

Versión Gatling: 2.3.0 (la última)

Versión de InfluxDB: 1.3.5 (la última es 1.3.6)

Mi gatling.conf:

 

data {
    writers = [console, file, graphite]      # The list of DataWriters to which Gatling write simulation data (currently supported : console, file, graphite, jdbc)
    console {
      #light = false                # When set to true, displays a light version without detailed request stats
    }
    file {
      #bufferSize = 8192            # FileDataWriter's internal data buffer size, in bytes
    }
    leak {
      #noActivityTimeout = 30  # Period, in seconds, for which Gatling may have no activity before considering a leak may be happening
    }
    graphite {
      #light = false              # only send the all* stats
      host = "127.0.0.1"         # 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
    }
  }

Mi influxdb.conf:

[http]
  # Determines whether HTTP endpoint is enabled.
   enabled = true


  # The bind address used by the HTTP service.
   bind-address = "127.0.0.1:8086"

[[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"
   ]

Mi base de datos gatlingdb se crea en InfluxDB, permanece vacía.

Cuando intento

C:\InfluxDB-1.3.5-1>influx -host 127.0.0.1

Estoy conectado a InfluxDB

>USE gatlingdb

Estoy conectado a mi base de datos. Entonces:

>SHOW SERIES

y

>SELECT * FROM gatling

No devuelvas nada. Esta vacio. 

Nota: puse "FROM gatling" porque lo puse en mi gatling.conf:  rootPathPrefix  = "gatling" 

No descargué Graphite pero vi que InfluxDB aceptaba el protocolo de grafito. Supongo que puedo enviar datos desde Gatling a InfluxDB. Ciertamente me he perdido algo.

Logré conectar InfluxDB a Grafana y muestro datos de otras bases de datos. Acabo de perder la conexión entre Gatling e InfluxDB.

Gracias de antemano por su ayuda, definitivamente la necesito!

Antonio
