I try to install [kong-influxdb](https://github.com/videni/kong-influxdb) as following steps

luarocks install

luarocks list | grep influxdb

> kong-influxdb

I can see kong-influxdb is installed to luarocks tree.

vim /etc/kong/kong.conf

```auto
custom_plugins = kong-influxdb
log_level = debug  

```

kong reload -vvv

Where exactly? Do you mind sharing more details? Where are you deploying Kong? In the host machine? In a containerized environment?

thanks, I figure it out now, when it is enabled in kong configuration , it should be `custom_plugins = influxdb` instead of `custom_plugins = kong-influxdb`
