====== Influx DB ======

influx db (https://www.influxdata.com/) is a perfect database to collect my data. timestamps optmizied for queries at iot. we will integrate it into iobroker very smooth.

First create a volume to store safely the data you want to collect:
^ name ^ path ^
| ioInfluxDB2 | /var/lib/influxdb2 |
| ioInfluxConfig |/etc/influxdb2 | 

i missnamed this volume to another name, but you can change it to a good one.

then get a new container, i just pulled the latest image: influxdb:latest

after its deployment you can setup the webinterface

remember organisation name and bucket name .. we will need that later

{{:influx_web_2.jpg?600|}}

{{:influx_web_3.jpg?600|}}

navigate to data -> api tokens and copy that token, we will need it in iobroker.


the integration into iobroker is a little bit tricky, the current build is not able to work with influxdb2 so we have to get it manualy.
switch into expert mode and install it from own url:

{{:influx_iobroker_1.jpg?600|}}

get a new tab for github: https://github.com/ioBroker/ioBroker.influxdb and checkout the tags from 2.4.0 and copy that url:

{{:influx_iobroker_2.jpg?400|}}

insert url into custom own url in iobroker

{{:influx_iobroker_3.jpg?400|}}

when its installed, you have to search in your adapters again and tada, you can get version 2.4.0. you have to install it, here in the picture its already installed.

{{:influx_iobroker_4.jpg?400|}}

edit your recent installed adapter to fit the properties you have choose in initial setup.
put in the secret api token: 

{{:influx_iobroker_5.jpg?600|}}

activate complete logging to all your objects. goto iobroker -> objects -> right top corner

{{:influx_iobroker_6.jpg?600|}}

select all
