error executing plugin

Error message

error executing plugin: {0}

What it means

PluginError::PluginExecutionError, wrapping influxdb3_py_api::ExecutePluginError when a plugin actually runs and fails inside the Python execution layer — an error in the plugin's own logic or its interaction with the write API, not in loading it.

Solutions

1. Inspect the wrapped ExecutePluginError for the plugin-side failure detail
2. Fix the plugin code or the data it is processing
3. Check whether the error is data-dependent and skips the offending records
