It seems not to be documented that one can do this. I suggest that you ask via an issue on the node's github page. Unfortunately it seems that there is not a great deal of activity on issues from the author so you may not get a reply. The alternative is to use the influxdb directly rather than via that node, which I believe is not difficult though I have not done it myself.
