The InfluxDB Adaptor supports both InfluxDB v2 and v1.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The InfluxDB Adaptor creates a tag for every Influx measurement-tag_key-tag_value-field_key combination during tag discovery. It supports both native and fallback sampling for GET requests, and also supports PUT requests.<\/p>\n

The adaptor can be installed via the Explorer installer.<\/p>\n

\n

Adaptor Requirements<\/h2>\n

The user that the adaptor will use to access the \"bucket\" needs read and write permissions for the bucket.<\/p>\n

To enable a user to access the Influx bucket, run the following command (this example uses InfluxDB v1, there may be changes to security mechanisms in v2):<\/p>\n

influx v1 auth create --username [user_name] --password [password] --read-bucket [bucket_id] --write-bucket [bucket_id] -o [organization_name]<\/p>\n
