Realtime reporting

Choose the built-in sink page that matches the observability stack your team already uses. Each tab below opens a dedicated page instead of swapping content in place.

Built-in sink Datadog

Send LoadStrike reporting events to Datadog Logs and projected metrics to Datadog Metrics.

Open page
Built-in sink InfluxDB

Write reporting events and projected metrics into an InfluxDB bucket, with optional measurement separation for metrics.

Open page
Built-in sink TimescaleDB

Write reporting events and projected metrics into PostgreSQL-compatible tables for TimescaleDB or standard PostgreSQL workflows.

Open page
Built-in sink Grafana Loki

Store reporting events in Loki while forwarding projected metrics through the OTLP/HTTP metrics companion settings.

Open page
Built-in sink Splunk HEC

Send reporting events and projected metrics through the Splunk HTTP Event Collector event endpoint.

Open page
Built-in sink OTEL Collector

Send OTLP/HTTP logs and metrics to an OpenTelemetry collector or compatible vendor pipeline.

What Every Built-In Sink Exports

All built-in sinks publish LoadStrike reporting events plus metric projections. Final export also includes final metric snapshots, started/completed timestamps, report-file metadata, disabled sink names, sink error counts, and plugin-table rows such as failed-response and correlation summaries.

How This Section Is Organized

Each supported sink now has its own page inside Realtime Reporting so setup, infra templates, and starter assets stay focused on one destination at a time. Use the page tabs to jump directly to Datadog, InfluxDB, TimescaleDB, Grafana Loki, Splunk HEC, or OTEL Collector.

Configuration Model

Each built-in sink accepts an options object in code and can also bind missing values from LoadStrike:ReportingSinks:* infra-config sections. Realtime writes follow the configured reporting interval, while final export writes the run summary and artifact metadata when the run completes.

Failure Behavior

Sink init, start, realtime export, and final export use retry and backoff. If a sink continues to fail, LoadStrike logs the issue, disables that sink for the current run, and continues the main load execution instead of aborting the scenarios.

Plan Gate And Extensibility

Business and Enterprise plans include the built-in vendor sinks for InfluxDB, TimescaleDB, Grafana Loki, Datadog, Splunk HEC, and OTEL Collector. Enterprise also allows custom ILoadStrikeReportingSink implementations when a project-specific destination is required.

Realtime reporting setup

Register a built-in sink, set the reporting interval, and optionally load sink settings from infra config.

Switch between C#, Java, Python, TypeScript, and JavaScript to see the native SDK shape for this sample.

Licensing note: every runnable sample requires a valid runner key via WithRunnerKey("...") or config key LoadStrike:RunnerKey.

HTML reports include an icon-only Light/Dark theme toggle fixed at the top-right. Default report theme is Light.

Realtime Reporting Setup

var scenario = LoadStrikeScenario.Empty("orders-realtime-reporting")
    .WithLoadSimulations(
        LoadStrikeSimulation.Inject(rate: 20, interval: TimeSpan.FromSeconds(1), during: TimeSpan.FromMinutes(2))
    );

LoadStrikeRunner.RegisterScenarios(scenario)
    .WithReportingInterval(TimeSpan.FromSeconds(5))
    .LoadInfraConfig("./observability/loadstrike-datadog-reporting-sink.json")
    .WithReportingSinks(new DatadogReportingSink())
    .WithRunnerKey("rkl_your_local_runner_key")
    .Run();

Built-In Sink Export Model

Realtime interval

LoadStrike emits realtime scenario statistics and projected metrics at the configured reporting interval.

Final export

Built-in sinks also receive final metric snapshots, started/completed timestamps, report-file metadata, disabled sink names, sink errors, and plugin-table rows when the run completes.

Infra config binding

Missing sink values can bind from LoadStrike:ReportingSinks:* sections loaded through LoadInfraConfig(...).

Failure handling

Retry and backoff are applied to sink stages, and persistent sink failure disables only that sink for the run.

Plan gate

Built-in realtime sinks are available on Business and Enterprise plans. Custom sinks remain enterprise-only.
