Hi Community,

I see on the doc that I have to Use Graphite or Prometheus Rewrite to connect to InfluxDB V2. I’ve tried by many ways but I’m not able to do it. I keep getting messages like this :

```auto
mai 09 22:15:29 dominique-BMAX netdata[46576]: EXPORTING: failed to write data to '192.168.1.104:8086'. Willing to write 606244 bytes, wrote 110048 bytes. Will re-connect.

```

Example of my config in exporting.conf:

```auto
[graphite:my_graphite_instance]
     enabled = yes
     destination = 192.168.1.104:8086
     username = <MyInfluxDBUserName>
     password = <MyInfluxDBPassword>
     token = <myoken>
     organization = <myorg>
     bucket = <mybucket>
     prefix = netdata
     hostname = localhost
     update every = 10
     buffer on failures = 10
     timeout ms = 20000
     # send names instead of ids = yes
     # send charts matching = *
     # send hosts matching = localhost *

```

What am I doing wrong ? I can’t find many information about a way to do this.

When I use the same informations and do it in CLI via curl or via influx, it works :

> `curl --request POST "http://192.168.1.104:8086/api/v2/write?org=<myorg>>&bucket=<mybucket>>&precision=ns" --header "Authorization: Token <mytoken>" --header "Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8" --header "Accept: application/json" --data-binary 'netdata,host=localhost value=123456789'`

> ` ./influx write --bucket <mybucket> --org <myorg> --token <mytoken> --host http://192.168.1.104:8086 'netdata,host=localhost value=123456789'`

Any help appreciated.

Thank you.
