Answer 1

First of all I installed latest version of ruby from hereruby ftp

Then I installed influxdb client apt-get install influxdb-dev influxdb-client. After all downlad the latest version of fluend-plugin-influxdb from git hub of plugin then I installed the plug in

/opt/td-agent/embedded/bin/gem install  fluent-plugin-influxdb

Answer 2

td-agent (Treasure Data's packaged version of Fluentd) includes its own version of ruby within the /opt/td-agent/embedded/ directory and has links to ensure that it does not collide with other installations of ruby on the same box.

You can update to the latest version of td-agent, or if you need a specific version of Ruby then you should

1. Install Ruby version
2. Follow gem install instructions here: https://docs.fluentd.org/v0.12/articles/install-by-gem
