Influx DB

InfluxDB is an open-source time series database developed by the company InfluxData.

TSDB: Time Series Database

It is used for storage and retrieval of time series data in fields such as operations monitoring, application metrics, Internet of Things sensor data, and real-time analytics.

Download steps:

wget -q https://repos.influxdata.com/influxdata-archive_compat.key
echo '393e8779c89ac8d958f81f942f9ad7fb82a25e133faddaf92e15b16e6ac9ce4c influxdata-archive_compat.key' | sha256sum -c && cat influxdata-archive_compat.key | gpg --dearmor | sudo tee /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/influxdata-archive_compat.gpg > /dev/null
echo 'deb [signed-by=/etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/influxdata-archive_compat.gpg] https://repos.influxdata.com/debian stable main' | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/influxdata.list

sudo apt-get install influxdb2

If you mistakenly install influxdb instead of influxdb2. You might get the issue of unmasked service in the command:

systemctl status influxdb

Influxdb doesn't support GUI nowadays. You have to install influxdb2 -> upgraded version

Then, use remove the previous one with autoremove and this command to unmask the service:

systemctl unmasked influxdb
systemctl restart influxdb
systemctl status influxdb

Now you can access from the link: http://hostIP:8086

Create your credentials: user: passwd

You company, Your bucket -> You can change these later.

We have two features:

1) Influx CLI

2) Server Agent (Telegraf)

To setup influxdb on cli:

pip3 install influxdb-client

influx -host hostIP -port 8086 -username user -password passwda

Next step on Telegraf
