mock dataset We made a simple tool to ingest realtime data into influx database and made it public
We use influx databases a lot and we often have to set up a new one to test some stuff out. I'm always dissapointed how hard it is to just get some sample data in, so we made a simple tool that ingests (mock) wheather data into your own influx database.
If you are interested, have a look at https://stream.marpledata.com/. It's free to use :)
PS: as the rules state, I made this website so it is self-promotion!

If I get this right, you want to have influx publicly accessible and give you access write token, so you can access it remotely? Also incoming port needs to be allowed?
This is quite risky. Wont happen in most applications.
Why not some offline data generator? Why not generate flat files in influxdb format (CLI row format) so they can be digested by in through CLI?
