I am not sure why influx api is not running as it should. REST API is the recommend API that we suggest to customers if they are wanting to use API. We don’t have any guides or KB’s to configure influx api. Here is a link to all guides for ECS3.6.x. Support for ECS Appliance Software with Encryption | Manuals & Documents | Dell US
Have they tried the steps on page 217? Did they have a previous version API that they were using? I am not aware of where they can access the removed API.
Now we should use influx API, but the doc it is so poor that still showing on API for 3.8 as srill available and doc about influx api doesn´t tell you or describe existed metrics and who you should use in place to get the same results.
metrics still there, but those removed will came zero value. And the table created to indicate to use the influxdb doesn´t tell exactly each metrics new name or give a table, like for example for TPS, there is no indication what new attribute would be. They are trying to use the API with ECS 3.8.1, but since 3.6 those required attributes, it is not any more collecting metrics according to docs. But we can see on embed Grafana that still exist some aware . Maybe the influxdb now, but doc doesn´t make clear what attribute use to collect.

Hello rodrigo.t.vieira,
Which version of ECS and api are you using, as you didn’t state that in your post?
