Very good eye!! Thanks for catching it!!
Functionality-wise, the code is working as expected; it's just an error in the text.
The fix will be in the next release (whenever that happens

Trying to use the InfluxDB exporting functionally. It looks like connmon is not able to use the API Token that is generated using
the InfluxDB UI. When I try to save a token it is missing the last two characters. Sending test data with connmon fails using router UI.
Token:

Great catch!!!
I just made a simple fix on the 'develop' branch. Please try the latest v3.0.10 development version:

No change.

From the router ui I enabled export ,pasted the correct token and saved but config file is still missing last two characters.

And just for my own sanity, cause full transparency I have not played with InfluxDB before last night.
I can query the DB using the token I am trying to use with connmon.
You must really mean from the router WebUI, because when I did a quick test using the CLI Main Menu UI options, the token remains intact:
Please be very clear about what you mean, and provide readable and clear screenshots to illustrate the issue and show steps to recreate the problem.
The more precise and clearer you are, the better. In the meantime, I think I know where the issue is in the JavaScript code - taking a look...
UPDATE:
Found the source of the problem in the WebUI JavaScript code, and I already have a fix.
[Just FYI, I need to go out with the wife for some shopping and run a few errands, so I'll be back in 2-3 hours - if I'm lucky, and the wife is not in the mood to spend a long time "window shopping" as well...

Please try the latest 'develop' branch v3.0.10_25120718 version of connmon.
Once you verify that the issues you reported have been fixed, I can release the production version within 24 hours.
BTW, the same bug was affecting the setup of the Pushover notification.

Thanks the issue of saving the token using the router webui has been solved.
HELP [v3.0.10_25120718]
In the router webui I removed the token and hit save.
agagne@rt-be88u:/tmp/home/root# tail -1 /opt/share/connmon.d/config

Then add token and hit save.

Any way to see response code returned from attempting in write to the influxdb.
All I get from running a test in either the webui or using connmon ui from command line is a failed message.

Good news. Thank you for verifying the fix.
Try the latest 'develop' branch v3.0.10_25120808 version.
I've made changes to capture and display errors from the
curl command sent when testing/sending notifications using InfluxDB. This applies only to the CLI menu. Hopefully, this will be more helpful to figure out the source of the issues you're having when testing your InfluxDB setup.scootertramp

Something is not quite right with the InfluxDB export test now.
When I run it using connmon ui commandline it reports success. I have not seen any data show up in the database
so I deleted the bucket (pingtest) and I still get a success message. Since it is trying to write to a non-existent bucket I should
see errors in the InfluxDB logs but do not.

Like Spock would say: Fascinating!!
When I input "bad" config settings, I get a failure along with some verbose output:
Try the latest 'develop' branch v3.0.10_25120811 version.
When executing the
curl command and it returns a success code, I normally delete the temporary file that gets created. Now, for testing purposes, I simply commented out the line that deletes the file.So, after you run your test again, check the contents of the temporary file:

I managed to get something working but unfortunately not with the function in connmon script as it exists.
Attached is a script I made from your function to use as a test harness.
I had to add org to the InfluxDB api url and changed the payload to get things working.
I think you have found either a bug in the original implementation or the original API for InfluxDB may have changed since the initial implementation. Either way, that's a great find!!
Would you mind trying the latest 'develop' branch v3.0.10_25120908 version?
After you run your test again, please post the contents of the following files:
Code:
/tmp/var/tmp/temp_connmon_curl_ERR.LOG
/tmp/var/tmp/temp_connmon_curl_OUT.LOG

Apologies for my delayed reply; I got busy with my day job, so I waited until my lunch time to take a look at your feedback. Thank you for the helpful response and the test/debug results.
Would you mind testing the latest 'develop' branch v3.0.10_25120912 version?
I've now added the new "InfluxDB Organization" parameter to the WebUI and CLI menus which, as you found out, is now required for InfluxDB notifications.
After you run your test again, please post the contents of the following files:
Code:
/tmp/var/tmp/temp_connmon_curl_ERR.LOG
/tmp/var/tmp/temp_connmon_curl_OUT.LOGTake your time. I'll be busy the rest of the afternoon, so I won't be checking my secondary emails until the evening after work hours.
Thanks.

Been looking for something to use as another datasource with Grafana and InfluxDB with connmon feeding it
fit the bill.
Besides this is more fun than my toilet I just finished fixing so it can flush properly again.

While your down in the weeds on connmon InfluxDB code. I have a RFE on https configuration.
Right now you can pick your port for http access. But for https you can only use 443.
Maybe make http/https a configurable option.
