I'm looking use quest-db behind InfluxDb V2 line protocol.
Following https://questdb.io/docs/third-party-tools/telegraf/
quest-db doesn't support gzip encoding.
# -- OUTPUT PLUGINS -- #
[[outputs.influxdb_v2]]
# Use InfluxDB Line Protocol to write metrics to QuestDB
urls = ["http://localhost:9000"]
# Disable gzip compression
content_encoding = "identity"
This configuration is generated with content_encoding = "gzip"
As a result i get the following error
E! [outputs.influxdb_v2] Failed to write metric to (will be dropped: 415 Bad request): not supported: failed to parse line protocol:errors encountered on line(s):gzip encoding is not supported - line[36466036744]```
**Describe the solution you'd like**
It would be ideal if there was 1 more configuration content_encoding
In the UI that can be a selection (gzip, identity, zstd etc) or in the case of it being behind "advanced" configuration it could be plain text and user beware when setting the value.
**Describe alternatives you've considered**
Alternatively i can install and generate configurations myself. Though i would have to ssh or be at console to manually manage this.
Having to be at machine to administer it is a problem and leaving ssh open is a security risk.
An alternative solution would be allowing modifying the telegraf configuration, though this adds a validation requirement to modified configuration. As well being able to represent all that can be configured. This would go beyond the scope of just influxdb and would end up in configuration pursuit problem.
**Additional context**
Add any other context or screenshots about the feature request here.
