Hi,

What is the recommended approach for loading data stored on S3 to influxdb?  
We have to write InfluxClient library or is there any existing plugin?

Thanks

If you’re trying to move data stored in files on S3 to influx, you can use any of the http protocols to write the data in. Can you be more specific about what you’re trying to do?
