#influxdb

hmph

if there's public logging it's supposed to be mentioned somewhere

Hi. Anyone able to explain to me what this syslog message from influxd means? It's stopping influxd from starting: "run: parse config: Type mismatch for 'run.Config.opentsdb': Type mismatch for opentsdb.Config. Expected map but found '[]map[string]interface {}'."

The opentsdb section in my config is completely empty

did it start happening recently, or?

new install

I'm sure it's some sort of mistake in my config, but that kind of error message makes it pretty hard to work out where.

yeah that's weird

try removing the opentsdb section in the config entirely, instead of leaving it empty

OK, diffed my config and I don't think it's that; looks like it's pulled a super-old version of the influxdb package from Ubuntu universe instead of the repo I expected it to come from. Time to debug why.

(diffed config from a working one, that is...)

Hello!

I've go a rather annoying issue involving a combinaison of two mesurements which share the same fieldKey name

is it possible to rename the fieldKey in the select clause?

like SELECT mes1.value, mes2.value FROM mes1, mes2

a bit like the filedKey/tag disambiguation feature using `::`

blahdeblah: that actually looks like a bug in the code

what version are you running?

rora: there's also a community which is technically the primary source for discussions...https://community.influxdata.com

mricher: you can definitely rename a measurement as something within the query itself

select foo as bar from measurement where time > now() - 1h...

sborza: It turned out to be an ancient packaged version trying to use a new config; all sorted by upgrading the package.
