After running the code how to check if the data is being saved in influxdb?

[ForPractice-Pritam]

Hi as the title suggests how can I see it? If I am going to

influx v1 shell
InfluxQL Shell dev
Connected to InfluxDB OSS v2.7.11
> use test
> show MEASUREMENTs

Its showing this:

Interactive Table View (press q to exit mode, shift+up/down to navigate tables):
Name: measurements
┏━━━━━━━┳━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━┓
┃ index ┃ name ┃
┣━━━━━━━╋━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━┫
┃ 1┃profiles ┃
┃ 2┃rights ┃
┃ 3┃test_measurement ┃
┃ 4┃users_groups ┃
┣━━━━━━━┻━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━┫
┃ 2 Columns, 4 Rows, Page┃
┃ 1/1┃
┃ Table 1/1, Statement 1/1┃
┗━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━┛
which was already present before implementing the steps written here.

Hi @ForPractice-Pritam!

I am not quite sure what you mean by "after running the code". This module will not export to InfluxDB the data that is already stored in Zabbix. This module is supposed to run continuously as an extension of Zabbix and it will store in InfluxDB the data that Zabbix collects while running with the module.

So to make sure that data is saved in InfluxDB you need to first make sure that new data is being collected by your Zabbix instance. You can send some data into a trapper item just for a test.

After that you can have a look into InfluxDB, the way module stores data is documented. Also check Zabbix server logs in case there are any errors from the module.

Ok thank you for your response.

In zabbix logs its showing this:
{"code":"unauthorized","message":"Unauthorized"}Got HTTP response code 401 when writing to http://<VM-IP where zabbix is running>:8086/write?db=test

Hi @ForPractice-Pritam!

This is a good sign, at least the module is trying to send the data. :)

Make sure the URL is correct. Also double-check the username/password in effluence
config file.

Sometimes it can be a YAML-related issue, make sure that you quote/escape the values in the config file properly. You can use numerous online YAML validators to check your config.

Ok. Still its showing the same error.
Also is it using influx v1 or v2 as I can connect to influx using this command:
curl -v "http://<VM-IP>:8086/api/v2/buckets" -H "Authorization: Token <TOKEN>"
And its showing:

< HTTP/1.1 200 OK
< Content-Type: application/json; charset=utf-8
< X-Influxdb-Build: OSS
< X-Influxdb-Version: v2.7.11

It is using v1 (the only version available back in the day). The issue for v2 support is #11.

Ok. Thank you for your response
