Description

Reading the particle influx integration at https://docs.particle.io/tutorials/integrations/influxdata/#configuring-telegraf

It mentions to use as your json data a json with a key named measurement.
but the screenshot it shows instead uses
"influx_db":"influxdata_sensors"

Which one is correct?
Can the correct one with the proper particle {{{VARIABLES}}} be pasted in the document instead of being a screenshot?
