Gatling does not send metrics to InfluxDB using graphite protocol

Question

I followed the BlazeMeter article to monitor Gatling tests with Grafana and InfluxDB but no data is sent to InfluxDB and not any database created with the name "graphite". InfluxDB is up and listen to port :2003. This is the log from InfluxDB:

2018-06-24T09:48:17Z Listening on TCP: [::]:2003 service=graphite addr=:2003

And I set gatling.conf fields to these:

  data {
    #writers = [console, file]      # The list of DataWriters to which Gatling write simulation data (currently supported : console, file, graphite, jdbc)
    console {
      #light = false                # When set to true, displays a light version without detailed request stats
    }
    file {
      #bufferSize = 8192            # FileDataWriter's internal data buffer size, in bytes
    }
    leak {
      #noActivityTimeout = 30  # Period, in seconds, for which Gatling may have no activity before considering a leak may be happening
    }
    graphite {
      light = false              # only send the all* stats
      host = "localhost"         # The host where the Carbon server is located
      port = 2003                # The port to which the Carbon server listens to (2003 is default for plaintext, 2004 is default for pickle)
      protocol = "tcp"           # The protocol used to send data to Carbon (currently supported : "tcp", "udp")
      rootPathPrefix = "gatling" # The common prefix of all metrics sent to Graphite
      bufferSize = 8192          # GraphiteDataWriter's internal data buffer size, in bytes
      writeInterval = 1          # GraphiteDataWriter's write interval, in seconds
    }
  }

gatling.conf is in src/test/resources folder and I ensured that this config file is loaded by Gatling by debugging it.

What I have missed?

You have invalid data writers configuration. Set it to:

writers = [console, file, graphite]
