How to add legacy data to Influxdb

1

Hi All,

I have a number of metrics from ~100 hosts from a 30 day period that I would like to import and then query & eventually report in via Grafana.

I obtain the data in JSON via API call, then parse the elements I am interested in if that has any relevance.

Python is my weapon of choice

Any suggestions on how to ingest the data and retain the sample time pls ?

Thanks in advance

I have used Node-RED to import my legacy data from various sources into InfluxDB. You can run a Python script within Node-RED and format it for InfluxDB using javascript.

Hi Grant,

Thanks for the comment; unfortunately I have zero experience with javascript & not much more with node-red tbh - so probably not the best approach for me

take it easy
