Hi All,
I am having a hard time creating a visualisation in Grafana.
°C temp measurement exists in InfluxDB, however Grafana explorer is not picking up on it. It does have values.
HA, InfluxDB and Grafana are all on latest releases.
Has anyone come across this problem?
Any help would be appreciated

It is not a star, but an actually circle in the measurement unit.
Easiest is to copy paste it from somewhere in the GUI.
had a similar issue, ° symbol in the measurement name is a bit tricky.
In your InfluxDB query, wrap the measurement in double quotes, like SELECT mean(“value”) FROM “°C” WHERE …
That often does the trick, make sure you’re selecting the right retention policy in grafana

Thank You!
The problem was/is that grafana is not picking it up in editor mode. Have to do it manually in a raw query mode.
