For some time the system board displayed data but something happened and stopped displaying it. Now System board looks like this:

My questions:

1. How to completly reinstall and setup InfluxDb 2.0 from the begining (I can’t do this, always InfluxDb starts from existing configuration after removing and instaling again InfluxDb)
2. I added ads-b template (I have installed and working FlightAware with dump1090 and dump1090exporter, everything works flawlessly, I have aircraft positions from my ADS-B radar), but as for the System board in the ADS-B Flight Tracker board there is no data despite the fact that with dump1090 export generates them.

What is wrong in my InfluxDb 2.0 installation?

Hello @marekpow,  
Have you tried changing the date selector to be from the past 7 days?  
Here are the file system layout defaults:

> **[InfluxDB file system layout | InfluxDB OSS 2.6 Documentation](https://docs.influxdata.com/influxdb/v2.0/reference/internals/file-system-layout/#file-system-layout)**
>
> The InfluxDB file system layout depends on the operating system, package manager, or containerization platform used to install InfluxDB.

Hello @marekpow,  
That sounds like telegraf isn’t reporting any more not like there’s a problem with InfluxDB. Have you tried restarting telegraf with the config from that template?

Hello @marekpow,  
It looks like you need to create a new token, and export it. I recommend going back into the UI under telegraf configurations and clicking setup instructions, It will walk you through doing just that.

Hello @marekpow,  
You can create a token and edit the config and replace it with the token you’ve created. Then you can set the environment variable permanently in your bash\_profile.
