What is deference between default and autopen on telegraf

1

Hi ,

When telegraf is installed and configured to send data to influx, I see two From: Default and autogen.

What is the difference between these two?

Thanks,
Rishma

@errishma This was a breaking change from older version of the database. In InfluxDB Versions less than 0.13 the default retention policy was the DEFAULT. In later versions of the database autogen is the DEFAULT. If all of your old data is in the default retention policy, make sure you configure your telegraf clients to write to the default retention policy by setting:

[[outputs.influxdb]]
  retention_policy = "default"
