Following instructions as-is leads to InfluxDb error

ERRO[0001] InfluxDB: Couldn't write stats  error="{\"code\":\"unauthorized\",\"message\":\"unauthorized access\"}"

I have tried this using WSL 2.0 on Windows 10, and directly on Windows 10 and get the same error. I have not managed to figure out the cause/fix yet.

I was having this issue also on Windows 10.

After having looked around for a while, I noticed that in the original k6 docker-compose file, influxdb is pinned to version 1.8.

So I changed image: influxdb:latest to image: influxdb:1.8 in the docker-compose.yml file and now it works for me.

I can confirm the issue on MacOS, looking like this:

The workaround/fix suggested above to set the influxdb version to 1.8 in the compose file resolves the errors, and the grafana graphs are now populated (instead of N/A when run as-is)

Hi @silentbobbert!

Thanks so much for the PR and write up. Apologies I'm just seeing this now in August. I missed the notification on it!

I appreciate the Windows script too.

I've just been reading the K6 forums and found other people also being affected by this:
grafana/k6#1883

I've put my thumbs up on the open enhancement ticket to support the new driver for InfluxDB 2 (also backward compatible with 1.8):
grafana/k6#1730 (comment)

In the meanwhile I'll review and merge in your changes. Thanks!

Thanks so much for the contribution guys. Much appreciated.

@jfhamel98 Great find!
