+Testing Your Benchmarks Locally
+-------------------------------
+
+When developing a benchmark depending on the long test framework, it can
+be useful to test it using a development database so that your tests does
+not impact the production database.
+
+This section describes how to easily set up an InfluxDB database so that the
+framework can operate with it.
+
+The following steps assume that you already installed Docker and correctly
+configured it. For more information on this subject, please refer to:
+https://docs.docker.com/engine/install/#desktop
+
+We will first install and bootstrap an InfluxDB database. This can be done
+using the official Docker image: https://hub.docker.com/_/influxdb
+
+From a terminal, run the following commands::
+
+    mkdir $HOME/influxdb
+
+    docker run -d -p 8086:8086 \
+      -v $HOME/influxdb/data:/var/lib/influxdb2 \
+      -v $HOME/influxdb/config:/etc/influxdb2 \
+      -e DOCKER_INFLUXDB_INIT_MODE=setup \
+      -e DOCKER_INFLUXDB_INIT_USERNAME=<user> \
+      -e DOCKER_INFLUXDB_INIT_PASSWORD=<password> \
+      -e DOCKER_INFLUXDB_INIT_ORG=my-org \
+      -e DOCKER_INFLUXDB_INIT_BUCKET=my-bucket \
+      influxdb:1.8
+
+This will download an image of the version 1.8 of InfluxDB and start a
+container with it. Version 1.8 is mandatory as the framework does not
+support newer versions for now.
+
+Of course, ``<user>`` and ``<password>`` should be replaced by values of your choice.
+
+When the container is bootstrapped, you need to create the database
+that will be used by the framework.
+
+Run the following command to connect to the InfluxDB server and create
+a database named ``prt``::
+
+    curl -X POST http://localhost:8086/query\?pretty\=true \
+    --user "<user>:<password>" \
+    --data-urlencode "q=create database prt"
+
+After the database is created, you can use the following JSON
+configuration to set up the framework with your local database:
+
+``tezt_config.json``:
+
+.. code-block:: json
+
+    {
+      "influxdb": {
+        "url": "http://localhost:8086",
+        "database": "prt",
+        "username": "<user>",
+        "password": "<password>"
+      }
+    }
+
+For more information about the configuration file, please refer
+to the `Long test module API <https://gitlab.com/tezos/tezos/-/blob/master/tezt/long_tests/long_test.mli>`__.
