InfluxDB?
avra:
Are there any plans to support InfluxDB in FreePascal or Lazarus?
PascalDragon:
Not that I know of.
You could however try to use the Delphi code from here (requires some rework with the request classes and the uses-clauses) or from here (don't know if that supports querying, but it advertises FPC support at least).

Guess you already know it's a volunteer work :)
I can't make the InfluxDB provider works in QuickLogger yet, though the console and file provider work. But even that needs patches to QuickLib that I just make a pull request for.
I guess making your own will be magnitude faster, InfluxDB interface is rather simple and it can work over TCP, UDP and HTTP.

Did you come to a solution then?
I am in the same situation, and I was thinking to call the command line executable using FpExec*, after having prepared an import file containing the sampled data.
Any idea?

Seems the license clashes with FPC, since contributions can be turned into a closed source license. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/InfluxDB
Not something I would want to work on. If you read the License entry you should be very wary. Not the first example of a start-up letting write their code by volunteers and then move on to a closed commercial platform. Also note the last claim is untenible under European law:"The Contributor License Agreement claims not to be a copyright transfer agreement.[9]". That is rubbish. It boils down to freely contributed source code can be used in a proprietary license without remuneration for individual intellectual property. A very dangerous game....bordering on the criminal. You have been warned (as you know I also hold a minor law degree, but in state law, not intellectual property rights, but I am confident enough to write their licensing does not hold, because I am well versed in European law)
Note that personally I don't care how my published source code is used, unless I attach an explicit license.
The latter is claimed to be prohibited with this software....And that when an M.I.T. license is claimed.
