Porting a know issues from the k6 repository

[olegbespalov]

What?

There are a couple of opened issues in the k6 repository related to the StatsD output:

• Include group in check metrics grafana/k6#2980
• Wrong percentile values for metrics shown in Datadog grafana/k6#2819
• K6 does not send metrics like k6.http_req_duration.avg to datadog statsd grafana/k6#2776
• K6_STATSD_NAMESPACE env var is broken for string.empty grafana/k6#2549
• statsd output shows vus > 1 after simulation exit grafana/k6#2527
• Make special handling of check metrics in StatsD output configurable grafana/k6#2470
• Statsd seems to be dropping metrics probably because of UDP grafana/k6#2044

Since we likely won't work on them, keeping in mind the grafana/k6#2982 it's good to port (not sure of transfer could work) to this repository since currently this is the primarily recommended repository for the k6's statsd output.

@LeonAdato, do you think that makes sense? If so, I could port the mentioned issues to the repo and close them in the k6 reposory

Thanks @olegbespalov (and hope you and the rest of the team are well!).

Porting the issues to this repository makes sense to me. Would you concur @LeonAdato ?

We'll be watching for grafana/k6#3849 to remove StatsD from k6.

Ported and merged into the 0.2.0 version.

Hi @javaducky @LeonAdato !

Thanks a lot for taking care!

@javaducky, we're good! Hope everything is good too on your side ☺️

@LeonAdato, out of curiosity, where were the issues ported? I can't see them https://github.com/LeonAdato/xk6-output-statsd/issues. I'm asking for details to mention the ported issue while I'm closing issues in k6's repository for better visibility.

[LeonAdato]

I mis-spoke. I just updated the repo based on the latest K6 which fixed a bunch of lingering issues. I'll get those open issues ported over in the next few days.

@LeonAdato, I see that you've commented on each individual issue; I believe you intended to ask issues' authors to port them (unfortunately, there is no way to transfer issues between GH organizations).

But since we're not sure if all the authors track the issues, and if that's fine by you, I could open them and link by myself.

Does that sound good?

[LeonAdato]

Sounds great!
