Hello everyone,

I’m running Node-RED v3.x with the official InfluxDB Out node (InfluxDB 2.x). I’ve added a Status node and configured it to monitor **any** status change on my InfluxDB Out node, but I’m not seeing **any** status messages (neither “green/dot” nor “red/ring”) in the debug panel when I inject data.

Here’s what I’ve tried so far:

1. Confirmed that the InfluxDB Out node is actually being triggered and writes data successfully (I can see the points in the bucket).
2. Configured the Status node to target that exact InfluxDB Out node, with **Status Type = Any** , and connected its output to a Debug node set to show the complete `msg` object.
3. Verified that other nodes (e.g. MQTT In) emit status events and appear in the debug console without issue.

Despite this, I never see any messages coming from the Status node after a successful write or on error.

Has anyone encountered this behavior? Is there a known limitation with the InfluxDB Out node’s use of `node.status()`? Or am I missing a configuration step? Any pointers on how to debug or work around this would be appreciated.

Thank you!

Welcome to the forum @wescley

Do you see any status indication below the influxdb node? My system doesn't show anything. Can you post a screenshot if you do.

Also please select the influx node and the status node and export them and paste them inline here.

AFAIK, that node does not use status messages.

If you need more control, you can always use InfluxDB's REST (web) interface directly using the core `request` node.

You can also use a Complete and a Catch node attached to the influx node. The Complete node will fire when a message is successfully handled, the Catch node will fire if there is an error.
