I am using the node-red-contrib-influxdb updated to v0.7 and wanted to upgrade my influxDb version 1.8.9. to a newer 1.x version

All I found was the upgrade method using home-brew with brew install influxdb@1.

This upgrades v1.x to v1.12.2.

After the upgrade I am able to see my current databases with „Show databases“, however when I try to request data from a particular database like „Show measurements“ I get an empty return. Sending data to a database results in an error message.

Has anyone succeeded in upgrading this way?

That was only released yesterday, so there may be issues with it I suppose.
