n8n Monitoring: Audit & Metrics to InfluxDB

# Scheduled n8n audit and metrics export to InfluxDB for monitoring

This automation collects n8n audit reports (security, system health) and workflow execution metrics on schedule, transforming them into InfluxDB Line Protocol format and sending via HTTP to InfluxDB for long-term storage, monitoring, and dashboard visualization. Ideal for teams relying on n8n as a core integration platform who need operational transparency.

## Who it´s for
- DevOps engineers responsible for n8n stability and monitoring
- n8n administrators tracking security risks
- SRE teams using InfluxDB for time-series data collection
- Teams automating internal n8n operations and requiring system observability

## What the automation does
- Triggers on a cron schedule
- Gathers n8n audit data: credentials, database, filesystem, instance, nodes
- Counts active workflows and failed executions
- Transforms data into InfluxDB Line Protocol format
- Sends metrics via HTTP API to InfluxDB
- Enables regular updates for trend analysis and alerting

## What´s included
- Ready-to-use n8n workflow
- Trigger and handler logic based on cron_schedule
- Integrations with n8n API and InfluxDB via HTTP API
- Basic text instructions for deployment and adaptation

## Requirements for setup
- Access to an n8n instance with read permissions for audit data
- InfluxDB account with configured bucket, organization, and access token
- Ability to accept external HTTP requests (if InfluxDB is self-hosted)

## Benefits and outcomes
- Continuous, hands-free monitoring of n8n health
- Centralized storage of audit logs and metrics in InfluxDB
- Compatibility with Grafana and other BI tools for dashboards
- Early detection of anomalies: rising error rates, config changes, security issues
- Historical trend tracking for performance and reliability
