Documentation is wrong for influx08 #177
Closed
Description
The docs say that
json_body = [
{
"name": "cpu_load_short",
"tags": {
"host": "server01",
"region": "us-west"
},
"timestamp": "2009-11-10T23:00:00Z",
"fields": {
"value": 0.64
}
}
]
is an appropriate blob to send to the server with client.write_points. I assume this is true for influxdb 0.9.x. However, with a influxdb 0.8.x client, the method succeeds, but no data is written.
[
{
"points": [
[
12
]
],
"name": "cpu_load_short",
"columns": [
"value"
]
}
]
is a blob that works for influxdb 0.8.x. It's doubling confusing that the method succeeds instead of raising an error.

Hello,
The influxdb08 client won't raise an exception unless InfluxDB returns an error. There is no client-side validation of the points.
The docs available in this repo are not for the legacy client. However, they are still available here.
The legacy client is not really intended for new users. I keep supporting it for projects that are already in production with 0.8.
From the InfluxDB readme:
If you have suggestion on how to improve the docs, I will gladly review a pull request.
