   | Only display tables under specified database/schema | When this option is selected and the database field is not empty, only tables under this db will be displayed |

4. After filling in the parameters, click the `Validate` button to get the validation result (this checks the connectivity between HENGSHI SENSE and the configured data connection; you cannot add the connection if validation fails).

5. Click the "Add" button to add the `InfluxDB` connection.
