Jenkins Version: 2.121.3
InfluxDB Plugin Version: 1.18
Updated to Jenkins 2.121.3, as well as updated all other plugins with updates and suddenly all of my projects are getting an error shown below. Prior to updating, this issue did not pesist; I attempted on 2 prior versions of the Jenkins WAR and the issues continues, so I assume it's something to do with a different plugin.

[JENKINS-53194] InfluxDB error failed to collect data after updates
jabbas Did your configuration also complain about
java.lang.NullPointerException
{{ at jenkinsci.plugins.influxdb.generators.CustomDataPointGenerator.<init>(CustomDataPointGenerator.java:27)}}?
I just tried with a job (not pipeline), that only publishes to InfluxDB, but was not able to reproduce this with version 1.18. I couldn't reproduce with a pipeline job either with customData or null customData.

added a comment - Yes, exactly same error.

We also get this on Windows Jenkins 2.107.2 with InfluxDb Plugin 1.1.8, but not on Solaris with Jenkins 2.107.3 and InfluxDB 1.1.8. Strange.
I just stored global Jenkins config and Job config on Windows again to see if this might fix it.

added a comment - marco_jacob Do you have same set of plugins installed on both Solaris and Windows?

added a comment - marco_jacob Do you have same set of plugins installed on both Solaris and Windows? No, there are differences. Some version differ, some plugins installed on one but not the other.
jabbas marco_jacob shadow00caster Does this error occur only on a Windows slave?

added a comment - Nope, mine is running on RHEL 6. 
After downgrading Jenkins told me that i have some incompatible settings in the InfluxDB part, but i forgot to write it down. And can't reproduce it.
It looked for me like there should be an empty array but there was null.
