Same issue for me. Can someone help ? Thanks

Hey, I think this error message happens when you try to use Vault with an InfluxDB v2.x instance.

The built-in plugin only supports InfluxDB v1.x.

I’m not aware of any workaround or implementation supporting V2 at the moment nor if this is on the current roadmap, but I just wanted to jump in to say that this is likely the reason for the error you are experiencing.
