The InfluxDB Adaptor creates a tag for every Influx measurement-tag_key-tag_value-field_key combination during tag discovery. It supports both native and fallback sampling for GET requests, and also supports PUT requests.
The adaptor can be installed via the Explorer installer.
Adaptor Requirements
The user that the adaptor will use to access the "bucket" needs read and write permissions for the bucket.
To enable a user to access the Influx bucket, run the following command (this example uses InfluxDB v1, there may be changes to security mechanisms in v2):
influx v1 auth create --username [user_name] --password [password] --read-bucket [bucket_id] --write-bucket [bucket_id] -o [organization_name]
