Creating influxdb2.json

This file that you create can be called anything, but we will call it influxdb2.json. It can also be placed anywhere, but we will place it in the config directory that also contains our already created base.json.

Lets get into the config directory we need.

cd <THE DIRECTORY YOU USED IN PREVIOUS STEPS>

And now we will create influxdb2.json

nano config/couchdb.json

Paste this into your newly created file:

{
  "type": "influxdb2",
  "config": {
    "url": "http://localhost:8086",
    "token": "token stuff",
    "org": "solarthing-org"
  }
}

Adjust the url and token parameter to your need. You will have to go into your InfluxDB web interface to generate a token. Documentation for generating a token is here: https://docs.influxdata.com/influxdb/latest/security/tokens/create-token/
