Influxdb not recording anything

I followed the guide from the ha doc and added the following to my configuration.yaml
However my bucket ‘HomeAssistant’ shows completely empty in the influxdb UI. I have a series of mqtt sensors but their historical data seems to go in a different database. I removed all exclude and include from my configuration to make sure that nothing is excluded but this doesn’t seem to change anything.

What am I missing?

Also the logs don’t have a single mention of influxdb - is that expected?

influxdb:
  api_version: 2
  ssl: false
  host: localhost
  token: <token>
  organization: <myorg>
  bucket: HomeAssistant
  tags:
    source: HA
