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:

```auto
'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.
