Hello,  
I am having docker containers for Influxdb and hivemq-ce running on my ubuntu system (VM on Win 10). They are working in general. Now I want to monitor the hivemq broker using the influxDB extension ([HiveMQ Extension - InfluxDB](https://www.hivemq.com/extension/influxdb-extension/)). I do not get any data in the database. Here is the influx.properties file for reference

> ```
> mode:http
> host:192.168.5.104
> port:8086
> protocol:http
> auth:
> 
> prefix:
> database:hivemq
> 
> reportingInterval:1
> connectTimeout:5000
> 
> tags:host=hivemq1
> 
> ```

I have run this same system on a RasPi 4 and it worked but not on my Ubuntu VM. Please help…  
Thanks in advance!

BR,  
Subhadeep

Hello @sahebdatta,

can you fetch and post the hivemq.log of the HiveMQ CE docker container? Then we can look if everything is correctly installed and configured (the config logs fine tough).

You can use this command:

```auto
docker cp containerId:/opt/hivemq/log/hivemq.log localPath/hivemq.log

```

Another question, are both containers in the same network?

Greetings,  
Michael

Hi @sahebdatta,

you are using the official HiveMQ CE image which doesn’t have the InfluxDB extension installed. You need to build you a custom images with where you add the influxdb extension.

Do you know how this works or should I help you?

Kind regards,  
Michael

Hi Michael,

I have already installed the available extension from this link: [HiveMQ Extension - InfluxDB](https://www.hivemq.com/extension/influxdb-extension/)

Hi @sahebdatta,

my guess is you did copy the extension after the container was already started? Then this won’t work with the community edition as it has no hot reload of extensions.

What you can do is to build your own docker image, I’ll list the steps you need for that below.

**Create the structure:**  
Don’t forget to configure the influxdb.properties.

 ![Bildschirmfoto 2021-01-12 um 06.57.48](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex035/uploads/hivemq1/original/1X/00b648b9ab8d8adb74c85c00a6c2bedf02b64629.png)

**The Dockerfile contains:**

```auto
FROM hivemq/hivemq-ce:2020.6
COPY hivemq-influxdb-extension /opt/hivemq/extensions/hivemq-influxdb-extension

```

**Build the image:**  
cd to the DOCKER folder then execute (you can use adapt the image name if you want):

```auto
docker build -t hivemq-ce-influxdb:2020.6 .

```

**Run it:**

Replace in the docker run command `hivemq/hivemq-ce` through `hivemq-ce-influxdb:2020.6`.

Then the extension should start, check the hivemq.log for those lines if and of course if data is sent to the influxdb image:

```auto
2021-01-12 05:51:37,454 INFO - Creating InfluxDB HTTP sender for server 10.2.1.123:8086 and database hivemq
2021-01-12 05:51:37,470 INFO - Extension "InfluxDB Monitoring Extension" version 4.1.0 started successfully

```

Greetings,  
Michael
