Configuring Dashboard Writer

Follow the steps mentioned in this page to configure Dashboard Writer tool.

Dashboard Writer uses the InfluxDB Cli application to write data into InfluxDB. In this step, we will configure this tool with the information gathered from the InfluxDB UI.

This is a one-time process.

The process must be repeated if you change the bucket name or other settings.

• Open the Dashboard Writer tool.

• Click on the Configure InfluxDB Writer Tab.

• Enter Configuration Name.

• Enter the following information obtained from the InfluxDB UI.

• URL.

• Secret Token.

• Organization ID.

Ensure you have entered the details correctly; incorrect credentials prevent the tool from writing data successfully.

If any error was made during the configuration, you can retry by entering a different Configuration name.
