Hello, i migrated from Influx 1.x to 2.1.1. which has a total different structure. Is there still a possibility to connect via InfluxQL to DB 2.x ? Why am I asking ? Because A L L my plots now are empty and I have to change all of them manually if I have to use FLUX instead of QL ! An answer is …

Looks like you are surprised (and not in a good way) at what happened when you selected Flux in this dialog box? Can you go back and change it? [image] FWIW, as complicated as Flux looks, it’s not that bad if you use the InfluxDB Data Explorer to build the query using their GUI (using checkboxes…

I am not really surprised that FLUX works differently. My problem is that I CANT CONNECT ANY LONGER with InfluxQL to my Influx2 DB ! It seems only to be possible with FLUX now. There my question hoot to connect with QL to Influx2 ??? If there is a way I have still all my plots available …

If you have that dialog box, but changing the selection to InfluxQL does not make your graphs re-appear, then I afraid you went down a one-way path by choosing Flux and it wiped out your InfluxQL queries. I believe you will either have to rebuild your graphs using InfluxQL or Flux (your choice).

No, it is a bit different: Putting the system to InfluxQL I DO NOT get a connection ti my Influx2 ! It always says bad request. The question is how I have QL to configure to connect now to InfluxDB 2 ??? There is not documentation about that.

OK, so there may be some hope, but like you said, it’s not well documented anywhere. From InfluxDB … In InfluxDB 1.x, data is stored in databases and retention policies . In InfluxDB OSS 2.1, data is stored in buckets . Because InfluxQL uses the 1.x data model, a bucket must be mapped to a database a…

I tried it already but without any success :frowning: it always comes: Bad Request The thing is that I want to connect to a Influx2 database and why to use a mapping for influx v1 ??? This all is not working for me I don’t Know what to do :frowning:

If you already fall in big troubles please consider migration InfluxQL → VictoriaMetrics ( GitHub - VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics: VictoriaMetrics: fast, cost-effective monitoring solution and time series database ). It doesn’t support FluxQL neither InfluxQL, but: has much better performance supp…

This option is for 1.8.x version, which supports both QL, I mean InfluxQL and FluxQL. As far as I know 2.x.x supports only FluxQL.
