Sometime ago this configuration was working, I’m not sure what triggered the issue and when I did what (I had openhab 2.3 -> 2.4 -> 2.5.0M1 upgrade), added gps tracker, fixed issue with yahoo binding keep trying to install itself.

Now I have no idea how can I debug what is wrong. In Paper UI I Control page I can see the gps tracker values correctly. In events.log they are keep updating, in openhab.log I don’t see anything related to “influx”.

I tried karaf and log:set trace org.openhab.persistence.influxdb but this didn’t generate any logs for influxdb in openhab.log.

I would really like to see that openhab tries to send some data to influx and e.g. fails, but now I see only silence and don’t know even where to start.

You are persisting an item with the name gPersist. To persist a group gPersist, it needs to be

Items { 
       gPersist* : strategy = everyChange
   }

Should have never worked, though :sunglasses:

Yeah that was it :D, previously I did it without the group and migrated to that later.
