Broken series containing unknown characters

Hi.

I have a problem with some series in my InfluxDB. They are shown “broken”, containing “invalid encoding”-question marks.

If I do a “SHOW SERIES;” I get my series - at the end of the listing with correct formated series I get a whole lot broken ones:

  1. What happened? What did I wrong? My Influx is filled by Icinga2.
  2. More important: How can I drop them? I don’t know how to “catch” them with a query command for dropping…

Best & Thanks
