Efficient recipe for getting MQTT data into an InfluxDB database using Node-Red

Recipe: from MQTT to InfluxDB via Node-RED

  • 2024-05-16 adds case study explaining how to extract values from topic strings, and how to specify the measurement name in the message payload provided to the "influxdb out" node.
  • 2023-12-02 revise graphics to correspond with "influxdb out" node, and explain the pros and cons of InfluxDB 1.8 vs InfluxDB 2.

Introduction

Getting data produced by IoT sensors into a database is practically a mandatory step before effective visualisation (eg dashboards).

This recipe shows you how to get an MQTT payload into an InfluxDB database using three Node-RED nodes. It makes the following assumptions:
