Change separator character for CSV output

Hi!

I have a quite plain application connecting to InfluxDB 1.8, which cannot use JSON output.

The CSV output can be converted to a 2D array easiliy, given the separator character ‘,’.
Well, unless the field values contain commas, too…

So, is there a way to use a different character?
I know, this shifts the problem, but usually, that’s enough to solve it…

See

You can use csv_separator = ","

Hi!

Hmm, I’m not using Telegraf. I’m querying InfluxDB directly via http, and processing the returned data.
So, I though there may be a html header I don’t know or an additional URL parameter…

I’m not aware of any parameter to define a different separator… I assume the returned csv is not quoted since you have this kind of problem
