The following databases already exist in the data store: _monitoring, _tasks

[LiuMicheal]

When I use bulk_data_gen | bulk_load_influx -urls http://localhost:8086, I get the following output:

using random seed 40576053
2022/07/22 03:46:02 Using sampling interval 10s
2022/07/22 03:46:02 Using cardinality of 9

2022/07/22 03:46:02 The following databases already exist in the data store: _monitoring, _tasks. If you know what you are doing, run the command:
curl 'http://localhost:8086/query?q=drop%20database%20benchmark_db'

and i fail.

What can i do next? _monitoring, _tasks are the default bucket and i cannot remove them. Thanks!

Any update on this issue ??

You can omit the fatal log by passing the -do-abort-on-exist parameter
eg.
bulk_load_influx -urls http://localhost:8086 -do-abort-on-exist=0

I had the same problem and it was solved. Thank you so much.
