#influxdb

hi there, quite new to influxdb, a question: how can i update some gauge via http ?

the example i'm based on is "%% curl -i -XPOST 'http://localhost:8086/write?db=mydb' --data-binary 'cpu_load_short,host=server01,region=us-west value=0.64 1434055562000000000'"

which here basically translates to a

<0.148.0> about to query: *** curl --silent 'http://51.255.206.33:8086/write?db=oliv3_1' --data-binary 'pings,host=azathoth.biniou.net value=1' ***

I suggest using --verbose instead of --silent if you're troubleshooting :)

sorry maybe i was not clear

what i'd like to do is an insert like "value += 1"

oliv3: influxdb isn't really designed to modify data frequently

just add data points for every ping, and later you can run a query to count them or sum them

if you're doing "pings" probably the latency / round-trip time tis the value you should be storing :)

Is there anything obvious I'm missing as to why my hosts list is empty but I am receiving metrics. It only happened after I created a db with a different retention period other than the auto.

hosts list?

In Chronograf*

ah, I don't use it ^^

I should probably spin up Grafana and try it too, then. Do you use that?

Hi.. I am trying chronograf right now, and I do not understand what is "apps -> system" section in a host list.. what is that "apps".. where can I define them or change?

Hello

I'm new with InfluxDB and I need help... How can I convert this Graphite function to InfluxDB (in Grafana) ... summarize(1h, sum, false)

Anyone?
