> I have got some other approach for connecting to influxDB as an input plugin : input { http\_poller { urls =\> { cpu =\> { user =\> "\*\*\*\*\*" password =\> "\*\*\*\*\*" url =\> "http://localhost:8086/query?pretty=true&db=inspectit&q=SELECT+\*+FROM+cpu" headers =\> { Accept =\> "application/json } } } } } filter { split { field =\> "results" } split { field =\> "[results][series]" } split { field =\> "[results][series][values]…

```auto
filter {
split {
    field => "results"
}
split {
    field => "[results][series]"
}
split {
    field => "[results][series][values]"
	
	
}
if[name]== "cpu"
{
	ruby 
	{

	 #event.set(event.get("[results][series][columns][0]"),event.get("[results][series][values][0])")
	  code => '
				
				 event.set(event.get("[results][series][columns][0]"),event.get("[results][series][values][0]"))
	
  '

	}
}

```

any idea?
