| ----------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Name                          | Enter a name for the connector                                                                                                                                                                        |
| Address                       | Enter the InfluxDB database URL (for example, http\://localhost:8086)                                                                                                                                 |

| Username                      | User name (optional)                                                                                                                                                                                  |
| Password                      | User password (optional)                                                                                                                                                                              |
| Batch size                    | Enter the batch size                                                                                                                                                                                  |
| Batch commit time             | Enter the batch-commit time in seconds                                                                                                                                                                |
| Parallel publish count        | Number of messages to publish simultaneously. Set a value above `1` to batch messages into a single publish request                                                                                   |
| Throttling limit              | Set a limit on the number of outbound messages per second. If sending data to a server that has restrictions on the rate of incoming messages, this ensures that no messages are lost.                |
| Persistent storage            | If enabled, messages in the outbound queue are stored on disk. If there are interruptions in connection or power loss, messages will be retained and eventually sent when the connection is restored. |
| Persistent storage limit size | Maximum amount of data (in GB) to store in connector's persistent storage. Set a limit to prevent excessive disk space usage by failed connectors.                                                    |
| Queue mode                    | Select the sequence of data transfer: FIFO or LIFO. Selecting FIFO (First In First Out) will send the earliest message first. Selecting LIFO (Last In First Out) will send the latest message first.  |
| Remote Data Topic             | InfluxDB measurement that you want to publish data to.                                                                                                                                                |
