Hi,  
I tried to get Influx jdbc driver to work with Ignition but main influxdbjdbcdriver.jar crashes the databases drivers config page( Error 500) . Source of driver is dbschema. Was someone successful with setting it up?

Can you look in the gateway logs when this error happens and post it here?

Alternately, contact our support department.

Sorry for late reply, The driver was compiled by Java runtime 65, but it needs to be 61

Looks like this JDBC driver requires Java 21+. It won't work in Ignition.

You'll have to see if they have an alternate/older version that works with Java 17.

Possible alternative (w/ disclaimer that I’ve not tried this) here: [Querying InfluxDB 3.0 Using JDBC Driver for Tableau | InfluxData](https://www.influxdata.com/blog/querying-influxdb-3-0-using-jdbc-driver-tableau/)

Seems encouraging given InfluxData as the guidance source. 🤷

… and the linked Apache Arrow JDBC driver is JDK 11+. 👍

Influx 1.11 is required and I can’t change it. Now I am trying to get data by http to bind it to widgets in perspective
