InfluxDB-Python client not working for Telegraf v1.3.2

[ghost]

OS: RedHat 7.2
Python: 2.7.5
InfluxDB-Python: v4.1.1 (https://github.com/influxdata/influxdb-python)
Telegraf: 1.3.2

Basically this is script that send a datapoint using the influxdb-python client to Telegraf port 8186 (HTTP)

[root@ip-***** ~]# ./test.py
InfluxDBClientError = 400: {"error":"http: bad request"}

When testing using the same script sending to Telegraf v1.2.1, it works fine without any error.

What is in test.py? Can you also add the relevant part of your Telegraf config?

Here is the content of that script.

#!/usr/bin/python
from influxdb import InfluxDBClient, exceptions

json_body = [
  {
     "measurement": "router",
     "tags": {
         "dc": "router-private",
         "app": "testapp1",
         "bu": "example.com",
         "datacenter": "us-east-1"
     },
     "fields": {
         "router_live_percentage": 0.13
     }
  }
]

client = InfluxDBClient('telegraf.example.com', 8186, 'test')
try:
    client.write_points(json_body, time_precision = 's')
except exceptions.InfluxDBClientError as e:
    print 'InfluxDBClientError = ' + str(e)

The format of the data is different...you'll need to change your json_body to the following:

    json_body = {
        "tags": {
            "empty_tag": "",
            "none_tag": None,
            "integer_tag": 2,
            "string_tag": "hello"
            },
        "points": [
            {
                "measurement": "test",
                "fields": {
                    "string_val": "hello!",
                    "int_val": 1,
                    "float_val": 1.1,
                    "none_field": None,
                    "bool_val": True,
                    },
                "time": 1497678083000000000,
                }
            ]
        }

I think this is actually a bug in http_listener when no timestamp is specified.
