@trondhindenes it looks like you haven't completed the set up of influx. There is some documentation on doing so here.

I would also recommend using postgres for analytics instead of influx for any new installs. Documentation for this is available here.

Thanks! On the first link it states
"by default this data will be stored in Postgres" - that doesn't seem to be the case. I guess my first-impression is that it's harder to get started with the Helm chart than what I was expecting since the "getting started path" isn't clearly defined.

Apologies, yes, there is an outstanding PR to remove influx db but there are breaking changes that we are working through. I'll check on the documentation to ensure that it's up to date.
