unsupported input type for mean aggregate: string

[kaciker]

I'm trying to insert string in Influxdb v2 (2.0.3) When I send a msg, like:

---

var text = msg.payload.data; var Appname = msg.payload.applicationName; var Devapp = msg.payload.device;

msg.payload = { bucket: 'Teststring', precision: 'ms', data: [ { measurement: 'string', tags: { aplication: Appname, device: Devapp }, fields: { gauge2 : "test" }, timestamp: Date.now() }, ] }; return msg;

I receive inside Influx the following msg: unsupported input type for mean aggregate: string I tried in field format with "gauge2":"test" but I hhave the same issue

Hello, This is not a issue with the input in to the DB. It is a problem of the data request. Try to aggregate with last or first and display it as Table.
