Entities Missing in InfluxDB

Configuration
1

I have setup a v2 influx DB and added the entries to the HA configuration.yaml.

influxdb:
  api_version: 2
  ssl: false
  host: <!-- host -->
  port: 8086
  token: <!-- token -->
  organization: ha
  bucket: homeassistant
  tags:
    source: HA
  tags_attributes:
    - friendly_name

and I see some data appear to flow (eg. I have six Sonoff temp sensors which all appear) but other entities just don’t appear. I am not seeing any of my climate radiator valves an there seem to be others that simply aren’t there (even though they have updated in HA and values for other entities after that time do show up).

There is nothing in the logs at all (not a single mention of influx) but I can see that data is flowing.

How can I actually check what is going on?

Just to be clear, only entities which provide numerical (int/float) states will be pushed to influxdb.

That is what I was missing…
So I created a template sensor to pull out the attribute from the state and that seems to do the job (although the very first measurement wasn’t right)

sensor:
  - platform: template
    sensors:
      bedroom_temp:
        friendly_name: "Bedroom Temp"
        unit_of_measurement: '°C'
        value_template: "{{ state_attr('climate.bedroom_trv', 'current_temperature') | float }}"
