Example for sending information via udp needed in documentation #646
Closed
Description
It would be really helpful to perhaps setup a udp example in the repository. There is just mentions of it here and there in the API documents and they are not clear for usage.
-
Apparently the docs for
send_packet()should mention alistinstead ofsequencewhich is very confusing. -
if the protocol is
jsonit mentions the value should be passed as adict. For starters, I just copied the examplejson_bodyin the code and this is the Error I get:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "gpsinflux-udp.py", line 25, in <module>
main()
File "gpsinflux-udp.py", line 21, in main
client.send_packet(json_body)
File "/usr/local/lib/python3.4/dist-packages/influxdb/client.py", line 877, in send_packet
data = make_lines(packet).encode('utf-8')
File "/usr/local/lib/python3.4/dist-packages/influxdb/line_protocol.py", line 119, in make_lines
static_tags = data.get('tags')
AttributeError: 'list' object has no attribute 'get'
- If I only pass the
json_bodyas a dict I get:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "gpsinflux-udp.py", line 23, in <module>

File "gpsinflux-udp.py", line 19, in main

for point in data['points']:

Won't harm to add a simple udp example for the repo
