Welcome & Getting Started

Hello everyone,

I’m a new entry with InfluxDB. I’m registered to InfluxDB Cloud + AWS.

My intention is to use the R language to query InfluxDB data. I activated the demo data bucket from the dashboard, then I’m trying to send a query. However, I’ve some problem to retrieve the host and the port to connect with the database.

Would anyone know where to find them?

Thank your for your reply @Anaisdg. I cannot successfully execute a CURL. I guess my problem at this level is identify the name of DB… I activated the demo data “Website Monitoring Bucket”. Is this one the name of the DB? Sorry for the triviality!
