Hello, I am following this tutorial {[https://ruuvi.com/setting-up-raspberry-pi-as-a-ruuvi-gateway/?fbclid=IwAR3Gz-JMKZZNmLnDQPZf03SCc-YPZbxiv2WwVQ5G6H2X2hIyFI7du88f-Po](https://ruuvi.com/setting-up-raspberry-pi-as-a-ruuvi-gateway/?fbclid=IwAR3Gz-JMKZZNmLnDQPZf03SCc-YPZbxiv2WwVQ5G6H2X2hIyFI7du88f-Po)} on how to set up my raspberrypi as a Ruuvi Gateway. Im following all the steps and everything is going as expected until i get to Grafana. I’m doing as the blog post states, but when I “Save & Test” in Grafana, i get the error message: “error connectitng influxDB influxQL”. Anyone have any insight as to where i’m going wrong? I can post more pictures if needed! Thanks! ![error_message](https://f.ruuvi.com/uploads/default/original/2X/d/d1bc75ee402961f8c4310eccd9995186c896c9f8.jpeg) ---

The guide is a few years old, InfluxDB and Grafana have evolved since then. When configuring the data source do you see a setting named “Query Language”? If you use the outdated InfluxDB version mentioned in the tutorial you have to select ‘Flux’ there. I suggest you search for a general guide on how to connect InfluxDB to Grafana with the current versions.
