Have script send data to InfluxDB using http api

I´ve setup a IR-eye that collects data from a Kamstrup Multical 601 Heatmeter (water) using GPIO´s on my Raspberry Pi2 and a script “automated” with Cron.

As Im not a coder I have found a script that sends data to Domoticz. I want the script to send the collected data to my InfluxDB. I´ve tried to replace the IP and port definitions for Domoticz in script with the IP and port for my influxDB installation but that doesnt work. Iv´e tried using the InfluxDB HTTP API curl -i -XPOST 'http://localhost:8086/write?db=mydb' --data-binary 'cpu_load_short,host=server01,region=us-west value=0.64 1434055562000000000' in the script but also with errors.

I would appreciate any help I can get to get this working, (have been struggling with this for a long time :slight_smile: Thank you very much.

Hi ,
what is the duration of your retention policy ?
What is the error ?
you are trying to write data to your database with an epoch = 1434055562000000000
that is Thursday, June 11, 2015 8:46:02 PM
Can you try the same curl command without specifying a time ?

best regards
