Hello,
My bucket is called "evo-bucket", I can configure the influxdb server in proxmox but it gives me errors:

1699483981156.png

If I use a name with no special characters (e.g. proxmox), then the operation is normal, and the information is present in the bucket.

Proxmox VE 8.0.4

Edit : I'm try config bucket with name "evo\-bucket" in proxmox, have erreur 404 not found

Hi,

could you share your /etc/pve/status.cfg and the output of journalctl -u pvestatd (trim the latter so a reasonable size, I just want to see if anything else regarding metrics is logged).

I've tried to set up a bucket with a '-' in the name, for me this seems to work without issues.

EDIT: Also, what is the exact version of InfluxDB that you use?

Thanks!

After, i'm set generic name "proxmox", and create proxmox bucket in InfluxDB, the info was correctly uploaded to influxDB, and no error in the logs

I've tried to set up a bucket with a '-' in the name, for me this seems to work without issues.
Indeed, I just created an evo2-bucket, and it works too. I don't understand why it doesn't work with my current bucket.

Weird. I don't really know much about InfluxDB - maybe somebody else has an idea why that happens.
