I'm new to locust, influx and grafana and wanted to integrate locust with grafana for that, I have to use a time-based DB which was influx and wanted to store the locust data in influx DB. I have done some research online but no one has guided on how to do the same.
Do I have to write some script for it or it is just some commands task. My grafana locust and influx is running fine in local env with the help of docker container.
In your Locus scripts you need to create two functions
a) For Success
b) For Failure
Then assign these functions to Locus events.request_success, failure.
Using InfluxDB client you can write the json points to influx db.

I have updated my Influx database and also mapped the databases. But now I get the following problem in Grafana:
InfluxDB Error: default retention policy not set for database
InfluxDB Error: not executed
What could be the reason? I get the values via Flux without any problems. However, I would like to continue using InfluxQL
In order to continue using InfluxQL you will need to setup the Database/Retention Policy mapping for your new 2.x buckets, so that InfluxQL can treat them like 1.x databases. Have you done this already?
Docs to refer:
https://docs.influxdata.com/influxdb/cloud/query-data/influxql/dbrp/#create-dbrp-mappings
Example:
influx v1 dbrp create --default --bucket-id 520047e21111111 --db telegraf --rp default
I think you may change default to autogen (last parameter). I used default as it is used by Grafana 9? (Not confirmed). You see this in your error message:
InfluxDB Error: default retention policy not set for database
Of course you need create such mapping for each bucket you have.
Maybe you will find it also useful example connection Grafana 9.1 -> Influx 2.4.
See Configure InfluxDB authentication:: https://docs.influxdata.com/influxdb/v2.1/tools/grafana/?t=InfluxQL
In this format you need to pass Authorization header. With space in it!
Token y0uR5uP3rSecr3tT0k3n
You can generate token in Influx web GUI (it will be long and i think Base64 encoded?)
I have three docker containers running. The first runs a python script that writes data from a sensor to the InfluxDB emon_data bucket running in a second container. This works perfectly and i can run queries and create dashboards within InfluxDB. The third container runs Grafana. The data source setting in Grafana that establishes the connection to InfluxDB seems to be correct as it confirms having a connection to the data source - see picture.
However, when I go to set up a dashboard in Grafana it keeps throwing an error stating that the database cannot be found - see picture.
I have tried to find information on this error but am not finding much and what I am finding seems to be for much older versions of InfluxDB and Grafana. Any suggestions or pointers on how to resolve this would be much appreciated.

I have a repo for maintaining multiple locust scripts to load test many of my target-hosts/services.
How to integrate these scripts into the helm installation of stable/locust on one of k8s cluster?
We currently run locust master and slave manually on different ec2 instances and perform load tests on that.
We want to setup locust on k8s. This is in preliminary stages.
There is an outstanding issue with that chart at the moment that it doesn't provide a clear way to inject scripts. You currently have to effectively add them yourself to the docker image or create your own copy of the chart. This could be made more flexible and there is aspiration to do so - see https://github.com/helm/charts/issues/2560
I have a MongoDB using the database profiler to collect the slowest queries. How can I send this information to Datadog and analyze it in my Datadog dashboard?
Once the datadog is properly installed on your server, you can use the custom metric feature to let datadog read your query result into a custom metric and then use that metric to create a dashboard.
You can find more on custom metric on datadog here
They work with yaml file so be cautious with the formatting of the yaml file that will hold your custom metric.
I want to track Akka actor's metrics and for that I am using Kamon a JVM monitoring tool, which requires a backend service to post it's stats data so for this purpose I've decided to use open source StatsD with the combination of Grafana & Graphite. Here is the Grafana image which I ran in the docker (with the help of docker tool since I am on Mac), everything thing is working fine. I am able to see Grafana UI screen but its showing some random data in the graphs, may be these are example graphs. Now I am struggling on how to configure it with my own datasource. If anybody here had same experience in the past, can help me? Any kind of help would be appreciated.
The random graphs you are seeing are the default grafana test datasource.
You first need to configure a new datasource that points at the Graphite metrics. The important thing to realise here is that the URL to the Graphite datasource from Grafana is located within the same Docker container i.e. the localhost.
If you set up a new datasource with the following properties:
Name: graphite
Default: checked
Type: Graphite
URL: http://localhost:8000
Access: proxy
You should then have a datasource that points to the Graphite metric data within the Docker container.
Note - the default username/password for the Grafana UI is admin/admin.
Hope this helps.
