Do you know if this also works in Germany? I don’t have an API key for example so I guess this is probably limited to the UK?!

This uses the REST API whereas I think countries other than the UK only have the GraphQL API so, no, it won’t work in Germany.

Hi, I can’t get this to work. Trying to use my default persistence as you advise (RRD4j) but the logs just keep returning “There is no modifiable persistence service registered with the id ‘null’”. I have set service to null in the config. My item is not populated with data from Octopus and I get no other warnings.

You misread it. RRD will NOT work. You’re best using a SQL DB via JDBC. Personally I use PostgreSQL with the timescaledb extensions.
