k6-to-influxdb Go Importer

High-performance Go implementation for importing k6 JSON output to InfluxDB via HTTP.

Overview

This Go-based importer replaces the Python converter with a much faster implementation that achieves 6x better performance through:

  • True parallelism (no GIL limitation)
  • Fast JSON parsing with jsoniter (2-3x faster than stdlib)
  • Producer-consumer architecture with goroutines
  • HTTP protocol with authentication support
  • Optimized batch size (2,000 points per batch)
  • Efficient batching and concurrent writers

Performance

Small File Test (LS-001S.3.json - 3MB, 11,409 points)

Go Implementation:

  • Throughput: ~181,000 points/sec
  • Import time: <0.1 seconds
  • Memory: Constant (~50MB)

Python (Multi-threaded):

  • Throughput: ~30,000 points/sec
  • Import time: ~0.4 seconds
  • Memory: Growing (484MB → 1.2GB)

Improvement: 6x faster

Expected Large File Performance (LS-004.json - 14GB, 52M points)

Estimated Performance:

  • Throughput: 180,000-200,000 points/sec
  • Import time: 4-5 minutes (vs 25+ minutes with Python)
  • Memory: Constant (~100-200 MB)

Batch Size Optimization

Extensive testing revealed that smaller batches are faster for this use case:

Batch Size Throughput Notes
1,000 130,566 pts/sec Too many HTTP requests
2,000 180,935 pts/sec Optimal
5,000 142,377 pts/sec Good balance
10,000 117,450 pts/sec Default for many tools
25,000 53,313 pts/sec Too large
50,000 43,720 pts/sec Network overhead dominates

Why 2K is optimal:

  • Smaller HTTP payloads = faster network transmission
  • More frequent completion = better parallelism across workers
  • Less time blocked waiting for large batch to complete
  • Sweet spot between request overhead and throughput

Architecture

Producer-Consumer Model

Main Goroutine (Producer)
├── Read file line-by-line
├── Parse JSON (jsoniter)
├── Convert to InfluxDB point
├── Accumulate into batches (2,000 points)
└── Send batches to channel
        │
        ▼
    [Buffered Channel]
    (64 batch queue)
        │
        ▼
Worker Pool (8 Consumers)
├── Format as InfluxDB line protocol
├── Write via HTTP with auth
└── Track stats atomically

Key Components

  1. Fast JSON Parsing: Uses jsoniter (2-3x faster than stdlib)
  2. Concurrent Workers: 8 goroutines writing in parallel
  3. Optimized Batching: 2,000 points per batch (tested and proven)
  4. Progress Tracking: Real-time stats with atomic counters
  5. Error Handling: Fail-fast on first error
  6. Empty Tag Filtering: Automatically removes empty tag values

Installation

Build from Source

go build -o k6-to-influxdb

Test Coverage

go test -v -cover

Current coverage: 29.2% (core functionality tested)

Usage

Basic Usage

./k6-to-influxdb \
  --file=k6-output.json \
  --username=admin \
  --password=admin

All Options

./k6-to-influxdb \
  --file=k6-output.json \
  --host=localhost \
  --port=8086 \
  --database=k6 \
  --username=admin \
  --password=admin \
  --batch-size=2000 \
  --workers=8 \
  --verbose

Command-Line Options

Option Default Description
--file required Path to k6 JSON file
--host localhost InfluxDB host
--port 8086 InfluxDB HTTP port
--database k6 InfluxDB database name
--username "" InfluxDB username
--password "" InfluxDB password
--batch-size 2000 Points per batch (optimal: 2000)
--workers 8 Number of concurrent workers
--verbose true Enable progress output

Integration with Setup Script

The setup-k6-grafana.sh script automatically:

  1. Detects if Go binary exists
  2. Uses Go importer if available (6x faster)
  3. Falls back to Python converter if not

Manual Integration

Copy the binary to the project root:

cp k6-to-influxdb /path/to/gm-perf-k6-tests/

The setup script will automatically use it on the next run.

Implementation Details

Line Protocol Format

The importer converts k6 JSON to InfluxDB line protocol:

metric_name,tag1=value1,tag2=value2 value=123.45 1234567890000000000

Key features:

  • Filters out tags with empty values (InfluxDB requirement)
  • Escapes special characters in tags and metrics
  • Preserves nanosecond timestamp precision
  • Handles all k6 metric types

HTTP Protocol

Uses InfluxDB HTTP write API with:

  • Basic authentication
  • Connection reuse
  • 30-second timeout per request
  • Error response parsing

Error Handling

  • Fail-fast: Stops on first error
  • Error reporting: Shows HTTP status and response body
  • Validation: Pre-validates config before starting

Memory Management

  • Streaming: Reads file line-by-line (no full file in memory)
  • Pre-allocated batches: Batch slices created with capacity
  • Constant memory: ~50-200 MB regardless of file size
  • No memory leaks: Proper resource cleanup with defer

Testing

Unit Tests

go test -v

Tests cover:

  • JSON unmarshaling
  • Line protocol formatting
  • Tag escaping (including empty values)
  • Time parsing
  • Config validation
  • Stats tracking

Integration Test

# Clean database
docker exec k6-influxdb influx -username admin -password admin \
  -execute "DROP DATABASE k6; CREATE DATABASE k6"

# Import test file
./k6-to-influxdb \
  --file=LS-001S.3.json \
  --username=admin \
  --password=admin \
  --verbose

# Verify import
docker exec k6-influxdb influx -username admin -password admin \
  -database k6 -execute "SELECT COUNT(value) FROM http_req_duration"

Troubleshooting

"Missing tag value" error

Cause: Tags with empty values in k6 output Solution: ✅ Fixed - automatically filters out empty tags

"HTTP write failed with status 401"

Cause: Missing or incorrect authentication credentials Solution: Add --username=admin --password=admin

Slow import speed

Possible causes:

  • Batch size too large (use 2000, not 10000+)
  • Too few workers (increase to 8)
  • Network latency (ensure InfluxDB is local/fast connection)

Performance Comparison

Go vs Python

Metric Python (Multi-threaded) Go (HTTP, 2K batch) Improvement
Throughput ~30,000 pts/sec ~181,000 pts/sec 6.0x faster
14GB file 25+ minutes 4-5 minutes ~5-6x faster
CPU usage 99.6% (1 core) 400-800% (4-8 cores) True parallelism
Memory 484MB → 1.2GB ~50-200 MB Constant memory
Concurrency Limited by GIL True parallelism All cores used

Why HTTP-Only?

UDP was initially considered for speed, but:

  • Packet size limits: k6 metrics are verbose (400-600 bytes each)
  • No fragmentation support: Large batches fail with "message too long"
  • No error feedback: Silent data loss on packet drops
  • No authentication: Security requirement not met
  • HTTP is actually faster: Better batching and connection reuse

Testing showed HTTP with 2K batches outperforms UDP attempts.

Future Improvements

Potential Enhancements

  1. Compression: Gzip compression for HTTP requests
  2. Retry Logic: Automatic retry on transient errors
  3. Progress Persistence: Resume interrupted imports
  4. Multi-file Import: Import multiple files in sequence
  5. Schema Validation: Validate k6 JSON structure before import

Performance Optimizations

  1. Memory pooling: Reuse allocated batches
  2. Buffer tuning: Optimize channel buffer sizes
  3. Connection pooling: HTTP connection pool tuning
  4. Adaptive batch sizing: Adjust based on response times

Dependencies

require (
    github.com/json-iterator/go v1.1.12  // Fast JSON parsing
    github.com/stretchr/testify v1.8.4   // Testing framework
)

Contributing

To contribute improvements:

  1. Run tests: go test -v
  2. Check coverage: go test -cover
  3. Format code: go fmt ./...
  4. Build binary: go build -o k6-to-influxdb
  5. Test with sample file

Technical Notes

Why Smaller Batches Win

Counter-intuitively, smaller batches (2K) outperform larger ones (10K+):

  1. Network transmission time: Smaller payloads transfer faster
  2. Parallelism window: Workers can grab new batches sooner
  3. Reduced blocking: Less time waiting for large writes to complete
  4. Better load distribution: More even work distribution across workers

The 2K batch size was empirically determined through systematic testing.

Architecture Decisions

  • HTTP over UDP: Reliability and auth requirements
  • 8 workers: Optimal for multi-core CPUs
  • Fail-fast: Data integrity over partial imports
  • No retries: User should re-run if errors occur
  • Atomic stats: Lock-free performance tracking
