DBRP mapping command does not work

InfluxDB 2

curl -XPOST https://us-central1-1.gcp.cloud2.influxdata.com/api/v2/dbrps \
  -H "Authorization: Token YourAuthToken" \
  -H 'Content-type: application/json' \
  -d '{
        "organization": "example-org",
        "bucket_id": "12ab34cd56ef",
        "database": "example-db",
        "retention_policy": "example-rp",
        "default": true
      }'

as is explained on this page
https://v2.docs.influxdata.com/v2.0/reference/api/influxdb-1x/dbrp/


```but that just compains about invalid json structure...doesn't look particularly wrong to me, so wondering how to fix this?

Hello @cheyert,
Does any curl request work for you? For example, can you write data like so?

curl -XPOST "http://localhost:9999/api/v2/write?org=my-org&bucket=my-bucket&precision=s" \
  --header "Authorization: Token MYTOKEN" \
  --data-raw "mymeasurement,mytag=yay myfield=20"

Can you run
show databases and show retention policies to ensure that you have that database and retention policy?

I think we are mixing 2 instances…
the localhost link works for a local instance of InfluxDB, but I am trying to find out about databases in the cloud

I can get data out of influxDB cloud using flux queries in Grafana, but for one particular plugin (grafana worldmap ) this doesn’t seem to work. I can’t find any example.
I don’t know what the database name is that goes with my bucket, so I am trying to map these…so that I can perhaps use InfluxQL to get gps coordinates, as I know that works with a local instance of InfluxDB…just not InfluxDB cloud

I am also unable to get the DRBP mapping commands to work, although I am trying to use CLI.

influxdb:~$ influx v1 dbrp create -h
Create a database and retention policy mapping to an existing bucket

Usage:
influx v1 dbrp create [flags]

Flags:
-c, --active-config string Config name to use for command; Maps to env var $INFLUX_ACTIVE_CONFIG
–bucket-id ID The ID of the bucket to be mapped
–configs-path string Path to the influx CLI configurations; Maps to env var $INFLUX_CONFIGS_PATH (default “/home/kloen/.influxdbv2/configs”)
–db string The name of the database
–default Identify this retention policy as the default for the database
-h, --help Help for the create command
–hide-headers Hide the table headers; defaults false; Maps to env var $INFLUX_HIDE_HEADERS
–host string HTTP address of InfluxDB; Maps to env var $INFLUX_HOST
–json Output data as json; defaults false; Maps to env var $INFLUX_OUTPUT_JSON
-o, --org string The name of the organization; Maps to env var $INFLUX_ORG
–org-id string The ID of the organization; Maps to env var $INFLUX_ORG_ID
–rp string The name of the retention policy
–skip-verify Skip TLS certificate chain and host name verification.
-t, --token string Authentication token; Maps to env var $INFLUX_TOKEN
