HA Config missing authentication

[sstarcher]

Problem/Motivation

• Attempted to follow docs to setup HA with InfluxDB and it failed during restart

Expected behavior

• Metrics flowing

Actual behavior

Error during restart

The system cannot restart because the configuration is not valid: Invalid config for [influxdb]: some but not all values in the same group of inclusion 'authentication' @ data['influxdb'][<authentication>]. Got None. (See /config/configuration.yaml, line 38).

Steps to reproduce

Addon Config

auth: true
certfile: fullchain.pem
envvars: []
keyfile: privkey.pem
reporting: true
ssl: true

HA Config

influxdb:
  host: a0d7b954-influxdb
  port: 8086
  database: homeassistant
  password: !secret influxdb_password
  max_retries: 3
  default_measurement: state

Also tried localhost for the host.

Proposed changes

config to work

There is an example config in the addon documentation https://github.com/hassio-addons/addon-influxdb/blob/main/influxdb/DOCS.md#integrating-into-home-assistant

Ya, I was following that but failed to type it. Thanks for the quick response pointing out why I'm a dummy.
