Hi,

Ive installed InfluxDB 0.9.6 and mqforward. Then Ive followed the usage document, but got error:

SELECT a, b FROM a.b
ERR: retention policy not found: a

show MEASUREMENTS

name: measurements

name
a.b

[iot@localhost ~]$ mqforward run

I've found a solution.

Quotes must be used:

Instead of
SELECT a, b FROM a.b
it should be
SELECT a, b FROM "a.b"
