Hi,

I am new to influx and nodered.  
I have a requirement where i need to read the data from sensors and get a visualization of temperature, humidity, air quality.

We have node red and influx 2.1.1 on a windows server machine.  
We are using node red for accessing the data, so i installed the node-red-contrib-influxdb node from Manage Palatte in nodered, and created this flow but it gives error

Gives me error when i inject "Error: connect ECONNREFUSED 127.0.0.1:8086"

Can anybody help me in setting up the node with details

Welcome to the forum!

You need to create a token in InfluxDB and enter it into the token field.

Use `http://<ip of the vm>:8006` instead of localhost.
