Hi all,

I have flow that is receiving data from mqtt, converting such data to a json, and storing it into influxdb.

Nodered is the latest available for raspbian buster, influxdb connector ([this](https://flows.nodered.org/node/node-red-contrib-influxdb)) is of type "out", and influx is v1.8.4, listening on localhost without password and without encryption.

Unfortunately saving data to influxdb, is not working: I keep getting internal server error as response. Logs of influxdb are showing the same message reported in node-red.

Influxdb however is working well together with my Grafana.

**Do you have any suggestion on how to solve the issue?**

Thanks

Welcome to the forum @marcostrullato.

Can you paste the relevant output from the influxdb log please?  
Are you able to read data from influx using node-red?  
If you use the influx command line are you able to read and write?  
Please show us how you have configured the influx server in node-red

Maybe a stupid question, but did you used V1.x in the influxdb connector?  
V1.8-flux is not the correct connector for V1.8.x what I understand.

It may be, it depends on whether one wants to use the Flux query language. Neither should give internal server errors however.

I think if you use an V1.8-flux connector with influxql query instead a flux query you will get an (server) error.

I have just tried that and with a Select statement I get  
HttpError: 403 Forbidden : Flux query service disabled. Verify flux-enabled=true in the [http] section of the InfluxDB config.

If I try to write using a flux config then it accepts it without error, but it doesn't appear to work. Unless I am looking in the wrong place for it.

hi all,

thanks for the feedback: after some digging it seems the issue is due influx, and it's a timeout.  
I will follow up in the influxdb forum.

Cheers
