No values in InfluxDB

Configuration
1

I’m a very Newbie but nevertheless managed to start a couple of integrations successfully. One thing I cannot solve even after reading everything I can find:
Installed Influxdb and followed the guide. Database shows up up with all the fields, but zero values are populated. No suspicious entries in the logs.Restarting does not help

 influxdb:
  host: a0d7b954-influxdb
  port: 8086
  database: homeassistant
  username: homeassistant
  password: password
  ssl: false
  verify_ssl: false
  max_retries: 3
  default_measurement: state

Welcome.

How did you assess that there are no values but “fields”?

  1. InfluxDB->Explore
  2. selected random entity values in homeassistant.autogen DB (i.e.
    C → Netatmo_temperature → value)
    result: no values in upper window and 'query is syntatctically correct but returned no results

solved ! changed config.yaml : host = homeassistant IP-address instead of
a0d7b954-influxdb. Thanks anyway
