Issues on creating a check via the InfluxDB v2 API

Hello @vinnivitz,

Check API Error

Hello @debnath, It looks like youre trying to write a task more than a check. A check is a special type of task with special requirements. Your call looks it’s conflating some body parameters from the GET /api/v2/checks/{checkid} endpoint and the POST /api/v2/checks endpoint. Here’s what my deadman task looks like from the GET API /api/v2/checks/{checkid} endpoint. {"id":"0811ec86fc2f9000", "name":"deadman", "ownerID":"0xxx0", "orgID":"0xxx0", "query":{"text":"from(bucket: \"Air sensor sampl…

Of course you’ll want to replace it with a threshold check instead.
Like:

{
  "name": "Test Check2",
  "orgID": "0437f6d51b579000",
  "query": {
    "text": "from(bucket:\"telegraf\") |> range(start:-5h) |> filter(fn:(r) => r._measurement == \"cpu\")"},
  "name": "check2",
  "status": "active",
  "description": "this is a check2",
  "type": "threshold",
  "every": "1m",
  "offset": "10s",
  "statusMessageTemplate": "Critical State"
  "thresholds": [
{
"level": "UNKNOWN",
"allValues": true,
"type": "greater",
"value": 0
}
],
}

I hope that helps. I haven’t tested it though so please let me know if you’re still having problems.
