InfluxDBClient: client.health() returns "...AttributeError: 'InfluxDBClient' object has no attribute 'health'..."

[integraciones-tiagora]

Specifications

• Client Version: influxdb 5.3.1 installed on Pycharm IDE
• InfluxDB Version: I think it is 1.7.9 running on top of Linux
• Platform: Python program runs on MacOS Ventura 13.5.1

Dear sirs:
I am running my Python script on PyCharm 2022.3.3 (Community Edition). My call to InfluxDB works OK, but I would like to add some checks to my program in case the connection fails.

I found that I should use the following sentences:

health = client.health()
if health.status == "pass":
print("Connection OK")
else:
print(f"Connection error: {health.message}!")

But my interpreter fails with the following error message:

health = client.health()
AttributeError: 'InfluxDBClient' object has no attribute 'health'

¿ Do I need to upgrade my client? ¿Or is there any other available way to check the health of my connection?

Your help will be greatly appreciated
Best regards
Rogelio

Code sample to reproduce problem

client = InfluxDBClient(host='10.235.2.19', port=8086, username='admin', password='nimda')
client.switch_database('telegraf')

health = client.health()
if health.status == "pass":
print("Conexión exitosa a InfluxDB.")
else:
print(f"Error de conexión a InfluxDB: {health.message}!")

Expected behavior

I expect client.health() to return a pass or the error code

Actual behavior

My program fails with the following error message:

health = client.health()
AttributeError: 'InfluxDBClient' object has no attribute 'health'

Additional info

No response

Hi @integraciones-tiagora,

¿ Do I need to upgrade my client? ¿Or is there any other available way to check the health of my connection?

You have to use the v2 client: https://github.com/influxdata/influxdb-client-python#pip-install. You are currently using the v1 client.
