Add InfluxDB variables
Assign a name for the variable and select the “Data type“.
In the Tag values field, you can fill previously created tags in the data source with values.
You can also use the import function to import the variables from your InfluxDB. To do this, open the variable browser dialogue via the corresponding icon.
Select the desired data source and click on ‘Browse’.
After a short time, the variables appear in the hierarchical (tree view) list. Select the desired variables and click on ‘Import’.
The variables for the InfluxDB data source have been successfully created and can now be used.
InfluxDB address syntax for quick entry
InfluxDB variables can also be added with a quick entry.
A variable with a single field entry can be created here using the correct syntax.
In general, the following syntax applies to InfluxDB addresses:
- [Data type];[Measured value];[Value field][{“Name”: “Tag name”, “Value”: “Tag value”}]
Data types:
| Abbreviation | Description |
| X | Boolean |
| I1 | Byte |
| I2 | Short |
| I4 | Integer |
| I8 | Long |
| F | Float |
| D | Double |
| S | String |
