Follows a few sample configurations for the InfluxDb appender:

TCP mode:

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
    <Configuration status="error">
      <Appenders>
        <NoSql name="databaseAppender">
			<InfluxDb databaseName="applicationDb" seriesName="applicationLog"
				url="http://sandbox.influxdb.com:8086/" username="loggingUser"
				password="abc123" />
        </NoSql>
      </Appenders>
      <Loggers>
        <Root level="warn">
          <AppenderRef ref="databaseAppender"/>
        </Root>
      </Loggers>
    </Configuration>

UDP mode

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
    <Configuration status="error">
      <Appenders>
        <NoSql name="databaseAppender">
			<InfluxDb seriesName="applicationLog" url="http://sandbox.influxdb.com:8086/"
			username="loggingUser" password="abc123" transport="UDP" udpPort="4444" />
        </NoSql>
      </Appenders>
      <Loggers>
        <Root level="warn">
          <AppenderRef ref="databaseAppender"/>
        </Root>
      </Loggers>
    </Configuration>
