2 seems https://github.com/fangli/fluent-plugin-influxdb/issues/85 1 and 3 are not clear for me. Could you write reproducible step here? Configuration and log example are needed to debug.
For 1, That's because influxdb doesn't accept null like value now, for example { title: '', message: 'hello' }, but I think this plugin should throw an Error but not just POST like everything is ok , or there should be a http response from influxDB, better to catch that if possible
For 3, just try a full String record like 1, this feature never worked for me, so not sure the limit very well.
I see.

This seems impossible because influxdb seems to not return the error for the client.
influxdb-ruby checks HTTP response and throw an exception when got error. Or does influxdb-ruby return some information in OK response?
BTW, we can skip ''
value in fluentd side. Honestly, influxdb-ruby should check invalid values...
For 3, just try a full String record like 1, this feature never worked for me, so not sure the limit very well.
Yeah, this is auto_tags limitation. You need to specify tag_keys
parameter because fluentd can't judge which is the value for all string fields case.
Confused, The link you post is a client api, so why do you care a client Error? the response data structure could be found here, it's clear that it returns a "writes" number in response.body at least
If auto_tags feature is not ready, I think it's better to be removed from the released version. I am not a ruby coder, but seems fluent provides a 'delimiter' to parse the key=>value pairs. so, not be sure, but maybe this could solve the problem you mentioned.
Now my works have been done. but not elegant, I did most formatting & checking works even the ugly time transforming in javascript before sending. so it's hard to say this plugin is good enough for production. unfortunately, this' the only 'verified" one influxdb plugin now
The link you post is a client api, so why do you care a client Error?
Because this plugin uses influxdb-ruby client, not call influxdb HTTP API directly.
If auto_tags feature is not ready, I think it's better to be removed from the released version.
auto_tags
is used on some user's production so we can't remove this parameter.
Again, this feature is for non all string records. Please use tag_keys
for all string case. You know which fields are tags.

This sentence is unclear for me. out_influxdb
is output plugin so this plugin doesn't parse incoming data.
For 1, partial fix is here: https://github.com/fangli/fluent-plugin-influxdb/pull/91

Isn't it a wrap of RESTful? I thought you can get response here

I see, I got it wrong.
@ash0080 fluent-plugin-influxdb does not use HTTP API explictly.
Instead, it uses #write_points
.

なるほど
if record contains a NULL as value, no Error, has POST log, no records, just gone
timeStamp type conversion Error, should be INTEGER or a DATE? but FLOAT with an Error now
auto_tags almost not work, in most time, cause fail.
