Could be possible to integrate k6 locally using grafana and PRW locally?

Thank you for this video. Actually, I'm working with a free plan cloud account and was looking for the integration K6 and Grafana with Prometheus remote wire with command-line but did not find it at last in the video.

Hey! I made this video before the Prometheus Remote Write output extension was created. I do have a video coming out on this soon, but in the meantime, you can check out this blog post by the developer who created this feature: k6.io/blog/k6-loves-prometheus/ - Nicole

hi Nicole, where can I get those demo scripts? I just started to learn K6

[@k6io]

Hey! The best way to get started with k6 is to copy the scripts in the documentation here: k6.io/docs/get-started/running-k6/ - Nicole
