What does that notification look like?

The error I'm getting when influxdb shuts down:

Exception in thread InfluxDB:
Traceback (most recent call last):

    self.run()

influxdb.exceptions.InfluxDBServerError: b'{"error":"write failed"}\n'

There are no further messages regarding influxdb and it only recovers when HA is restarted.

Edit: Might have been caused by an older influxdb version? I upgraded to Debian buster (influxdb 1.6.4) and now I no longer get this message and HA reconnects when influxdb is back...
