Notice the lines within the double asterisks, the values match but the times do not.

This doesn’t look like “showing local time”:

That looks like a grouping by 5 minutes → why GROUP BY *?

Data is written to influxDB every 5 minutes

What are you using to push the data to influxdb? Telegraf or something else

Sorry, I should have said that before, yes telegraf v1.34.2
