I currently working on connecting the Ignition Gateway to the Influx database(V2.7.11) using a JDBC JAR file. The JAR file has been placed in the Ignition user lib/Jdbc path . After installing the driver in the Ignition Gateway, I encountered an error when attempting to establish a connection. I need not want kymera's module I want to connect using JDBC .
