InfluxDB integration not showing, can't find any errors

Third party integrations
,
1

Hey there,

I am trying to configure the InfluxDB third party extension. I’ve added the following config to configuration.yaml and after a few tweaks it appears the config is valid and I have restarted home assistant.

At this point I expected the InfluxDB integration to be listed in my integrations in the UI, however this is not the case. I also cannot find any errors in the system log.

Any tips on troubleshooting from here?

# Loads default set of integrations. Do not remove.
default_config:

# Load frontend themes from the themes folder
frontend:
  themes: !include_dir_merge_named themes

# Text to speech
tts:
  - platform: google_translate

automation: !include automations.yaml
script: !include scripts.yaml
scene: !include scenes.yaml

influxdb:
  api_version: 2
  ssl: true
  host: us-east-1-1.aws.cloud2.influxdata.com
#  port: 443
  token: <REDACTED>
  organization: <REDACTED>
  bucket: home-assistant

#      - sensor

Hello Jim Pelletier,

InfluxDB is available as a core integration.
You add integrations from this screen.
Open your Home Assistant instance and show your integrations.

Hi! Thanks for the response…

When I try to add it via the UI. I get this message:

Are we expecting it to be configurable via the UI?

I see you are correct. That takes you to the Docs, so follow the instructions there. I have not used this, so I don’t know more than this.
I see there is an addon for it as well.

Thanks. It turns out the integration is working. I can see it is sending data to my influx db… however the integration is not showing in the UI. Is this normal for yaml configured integrations?

I would say yes.
With the tag default_config: you include a bunch of integrations, where many also do not show, but I would not say that this is the case for all integrations in YAML.
