InfluxDB CloudΒΆ

The foglamp-north-influxdbcloud plugin is designed to send data from FogLAMP to the InfluxDB Cloud system for collection and analysis of data.

The process of creating a North InfluxDB Cloud connection is similar to any other north setup

  • Selecting the North option in the left-hand menu bar

  • Click on the add icon in the top right corner.

  • In the North Plugin list select the influxdbcloud option.

  • Click Next

  • Configure your InfluxDB Cloud plugin

    influxdb_1

    • URL: The URL of the InfluxDB instance you are using

    • InfluxDB token: an authorization token that has been generated by the InfluxDB Cloud

    • Organisation ID: Your organization ID from the InfluxDB Cloud. You can find this by looking at the URL you use after connecting the InfluxDB Cloud.

    • Bucket: The bucket in InfluxDB CLoud where you wish to store your data.

    • Measurement: The measurement to use for the data you send to InfluxDB Cloud

    • Source: The source of data to send, this may be either FogLAMP readings or the FogLAMP statistics

      • Apply Filter: This allows a simple jq format filter rule to be applied to the connection. This should not be confused with FogLAMP filters and exists for backward compatibility reasons only.

    • Filter Rule: A jq filter rule to apply. Since the introduction of FogLAMP filters in the north task this has become deprecated and should not be used.

  • Click Next

  • Enable your north task and click on Done
