I am building out a project in Node-Red using ModbusTCP to gather information from my PLC and then send that data to an InfluxDB bucket that I will then using Grafana to create a nice dashboard to display that data. My issue is that I am unable to see the data in my InfluxDB bucket.

Here is the code for this project as it sits right now. We are trying to get everything working first then will finish adding nodes to collect additional data. What are we missing in regards to the InfluxDB?

Welcome to the forum @mrpatton75

Show us what you are sending to the influx node.
