How to connect to influxdb cloud database

[JanMaasland]

Hello,

I am new to influxdb and try to connect a local OPC UA server to my influxdb cloud account. I managed to connect to the OPC UA server, but have no idea on what the url should be.

Can you help me on this?

Regards,

Jan Maasland

Hello, it should be in the form of http(s)://user:password@host:port/database

So, host should be the IP or FQDN of your cloud server, port is usually 8086, and the other details depend on how you confgres influxdb :-)

does that help?

I now get a connection to influx, but get the below message every 5 seconds. I assume that for the database part of the url I need to put my bucket?

Is it possible you are running a beta of influxDB 2.0?

[JanMaasland]

Yes. I'm using influxDB 2.0. Is it not tested with the OPC-UA logger?

[coussej]

It has a different API than influx 1.x. We have not yet included support for influx 2.0, but will do soon :-)

I have the same problem here. Authentication method does not seem to work with this logger, as it needs to use a token.

[coussej]

@maziarz InfluxDB 2.0 is not yet supported. We'll implement it soon!

[coussej]

Hello @maziarz, you can find initial support for 2.0 on the dev branch!

when you add a token, org and bucket to the config file, the logger will assume its influx 2.0 and connect as such.
