Python & InfluxDB: Setting column of unique values as key for writing DataFrame to InfluxDB with some values having the same timestamp

I have the following DataFrame and try to write into an InfluxDB-Measurement:


dataframe1
               UNIQUE  FK_TAG_ID           VALUE
TIME

As some of the values have the same timestamp, I am trying to use the UNIQUE-Column as a workaround to avoid them being overwritten as described in here: https://docs.influxdata.com/influxdb/v0.13/troubleshooting/frequently_encountered_issues/#writing-duplicate-points

I use the following code:


client =  DataFrameClient(host, port, user, password, dbname)
tags = { 'tag1': dataframe1[['UNIQUE']], 'tag2': dataframe1[['FK_TAG_ID']]}
client.write_points(dataframe1, "table", protocol = json, tags)

When I try to execute the code the following Stack Trace is displayed:

  File "C:/Users/Chris/Desktop/balenciagaAI-master/AzureWebAppJson.py", line 173, in <module>
    client.write_points(dataframe1, "table", protocol = protocol, tags = tags)

  File "C:\Users\Chris\Anaconda3\lib\site-packages\influxdb\_dataframe_client.py", line 137, in write_points
    protocol=protocol)

  File "C:\Users\Chris\Anaconda3\lib\site-packages\influxdb\client.py", line 468, in write_points
    tags=tags, protocol=protocol)

  File "C:\Users\Chris\Anaconda3\lib\site-packages\influxdb\client.py", line 533, in _write_points
    protocol=protocol

  File "C:\Users\Chris\Anaconda3\lib\site-packages\influxdb\client.py", line 312, in write
    headers=headers

  File "C:\Users\Chris\Anaconda3\lib\site-packages\influxdb\client.py", line 271, in request
    raise InfluxDBClientError(response.content, response.status_code)

InfluxDBClientError: 413: {"error":"Request Entity Too Large"}

I am more or less following the way of tagging columns as key described in this link:

https://github.com/influxdata/influxdb-python/issues/286#issuecomment-333391449

But there seems to be something I'm missing when declaring the "UNIQUE"-Column as Key for the Influx-Measurement.
