K6 InfluxDB + Grafana Docker：如何预加载仪表板

Question

I am using K6 for Load Testing.

I have cloned the K6, Grafana, InfluxDB docker-compose set up from here:

https://github.com/loadimpact/k6

Each time I start Grafana, I have to manually import the dashboard I want to use ('Import' - ID2587 - Load).

I am new to Docker (and Grafana.)...?is there anyway to have this dashboard preloaded in the container so I don't have to manually add it each time?

Answer 1

mount your dashboard and datasources into grafana container when running docker-compose up -d influxdb grafana refer the docker-compose file and grafana folder here

And make sure the datasource in your dashboard.json is updated with name of the datasource mentioned in datasource.yml

I have created a small tutorial in k6 community . Hope this solves your case.

Answer 2

A few small improvements which I think can help the docker-compose setup be awesome to use:

1. Use the awesome 'k6 Load Testing Results - by dcadwallader' dashboard: https://grafana.com/grafana/dashboards/2587

2. Map a local dashboards directory, as well as the settings for the dashboard with all of the org ids and settings pre-configured, eg:

    volumes: -./dashboards:/var/lib/grafana/dashboards -./grafana-dashboard.yaml:/etc/grafana/provisioning/dashboards/dashboard.yaml -./grafana-datasource.yaml:/etc/grafana/provisioning/datasources/datasource.yaml

3. Set the uid in the dashboard JSON file for consistent links, eg:

    { uid: "k6",
