I have an esp32 and I have install mosquitto broker on a local pc that I expose public. the broker sends numeric data in string format like this
C:\Program Files\mosquitto>mosquitto_sub -h localhost -t Omiros/Home/temperature
28.10
28.00
In this pc also running onfluxdb and Telegraf. The Telegraf config is:
# Configuration for telegraf agent
[agent]
## Default data collection interval for all inputs
interval = "10s"
round_interval = true
metric_batch_size = 1000
metric_buffer_limit = 10000
collection_jitter = "0s"
flush_interval = "10s"
flush_jitter = "0s"
precision = ""
hostname = ""
omit_hostname = false
[[outputs.influxdb_v2]]
urls = ["http://localhost:8086"]
token = "$INFLUX_TOKEN"
organization = "PESREAS IoT"
bucket = "telegraf"
[[inputs.system]]
[[inputs.mqtt_consumer]]
servers = ["tcp://0.tcp.eu.ngrok.io:18142"]
## Topics that will be subscribed to.
topics = [
"Omiros/Home/temperature",
"Omiros/Home/humidity",
"Omiros/Home/air",
"Omiros/Home/airToluene"
]
data_format = "influx"
data_type = "float"
username = "perseas"
password = "RESIDENT"
When I run the telegraf agent I get :
PS C:\Program Files\InfluxData\telegraf> ./telegraf --config http://localhost:8086/api/v2/telegrafs/0ce15c9240aec000

And In the data explorer I get the error : unsupported input type for mean aggregate: string
How to config Telegraf to send data correctly to influxdb? Maybe I have to convert string to float? How to do this in the config Telegraf file?
