Confused configuring the 'influxdb out' node... Which 'Server:' version should I be using?

Querying `influx` on the command line gives me `InfluxDB shell version: 1.8.10` - is that the server version?  
If so, do I use 1.x or 1.8-flex?

You are using influx 1.8, so you should select either 1.x or 1.8-flux. If you want to use the flux query language then select that one, if you are not using flux then select 1.x. The reason for the naming is that it will work with any 1.x version, but only 1.8 and 2.x support flux.

OK, thanks! The first step in what looks to be a whopper of a learning curve....

I wrote a bit of a guide once. Might be in the FAQ's section. I might even have tagged it with `database`.
