Before you begin, ensure you are using Grafana v7.0.0 or later. Since Stackhero regularly updates its services, this should not be a concern.
Log in to your Grafana web panel and navigate to Configuration / Data sources / Add a data source. Choose the data source labeled "InfluxDB". In the "Query language" dropdown, select "Flux". This step is essential because InfluxDB v2 uses the Flux query language.
Next, provide the URL, organization, and token details (you can refer to the "InfluxDB" / "Getting started" documentation on the left to learn how to create a token).
InfluxDB data source configuration
Handle error "parse error on line 1, column 1: bare " in non-quoted-field" with InfluxDB v2
If you encounter the error "parse error on line 1, column 1: bare " in non-quoted-field" with Grafana 7.2.0, you can resolve it by editing your data source.
Log in to Grafana, go to your data sources, select "InfluxDB", and update the URL by replacing:
https://<XXXXXX>.stackhero-network.com/api/v2
with
https://<XXXXXX>.stackhero-network.com/
After making this change, click on "Save & test". The connection should now work as expected.
