The series URL should be the fully qualified URL (including the username and password) as specified in the InfluxDB documentation. For example http://example.com/db/somedb/series?u=username&p=password.

API

outflux.point (type, data)

| parameter | description | |-----------|------------------------------| | type | The type of point to create. | | data | The data point. |

Creates a new data point. The data object is a standard JavaScript object. The key names are used as the column names for the point. Points are batched on one second intervals to improve performance. Returns a promise that is resolved or rejected when the point is actually sent to the server depending on whether or not the request was successful.
