Forward data to InfluxDB

InfluxDB forwarding writes point data to a selected organization and bucket. Connection settings use a URL, organization, bucket, and token.

Configure the connection

A Manager or Owner can create an InfluxDB profile under Organization → Data → Data Forwarding.

Field	Value
URL	InfluxDB service address reachable from the cloud
Organization	Organization name in InfluxDB
Bucket	Destination bucket name
Token	A token with write access to that bucket

An InfluxDB organization and a cloud platform organization are separate resources; their names do not need to match. Use the reachable service address rather than the receiving server's localhost address.

Data mapping

Reported field	Written as
measurement, or agri_id if absent	Measurement name
agri_id, the_type	Tags when present
value	Point value field
t or time	Record timestamp

Check timestamps and query windows after writing, particularly conversion between seconds, milliseconds, and nanoseconds. The current web form has no time-precision option. If timestamps are wrong, ask the platform administrator to check the connection's time handling rather than merely expanding the query range.

Verify writes

1. Enable the profile and produce new device data.
2. Select the destination organization and bucket in InfluxDB.
3. Query by the new message's time and measurement, and check values, tags, and timestamps.
4. Check platform sent counts and receiver logs.

Writes fail

Check the URL, token permissions, organization, and bucket. If sent counts increase but your usual query is empty, check measurement names, query range, and timestamp precision.
