Problems with activation of different telegraf configurations

Telegraf
1

Hi there,

I am new to InfluxDB V2 and Telegraf. I face some problems with my configuration and therefor I need some help. The documentation was not very helpful to me.

I have created some buckets in Influx: Power, water, heating…
For each bucket I have an own Telegraf configuration made in influxdb ui. Data is collected via MQTT.

The first one e.g. power works fine with the token given by telegraf/influxdb.
Now the problem occurs. I can create the next Telegraf configuration with a new token. I restart the telegraf on the server cli. Now, only the new data is collected. The first created Telegraf configuration does not work any more.

So, what is the right way to to implement different buckets with different Telegraf configurations? Is there a good youtube tutorial or something else?

Regards, Thorsten

Problem solved. Only one Telegraf configuration possible. I merged my separate configurations.
