Json to influx node error invalid boolean

General
1

Hello,

When I inject the following json into influxdb out node:

"
{
"tags": {
"MachineName": "TBL165-169",
"MachineType": "Rig Test"
},
"machine_working": true
}"

I get the error "Error: A 400 Bad Request error occurred: {"error":"unable to parse 'NoT/device machine_working="true",tags=[object Object]': invalid boolean"}↵"

Any ideas how to resolve this? or what the problem is?

Thanks

How exactly are you injecting that?

The error says it cannot parse:

'NoT/device machine_working="true",tags=[object Object]'

The [object Object] is in the place your tags object should be - and that's what you get if you let JavaScript stringify an object without encoding it to JSON.

So to figure out why that's happening, we'd need to see a bit more of your flow that generates that JSON and how you pass it to the influxdb node.

Great thanks for the quick reply, i've attached the nodes in question:
