InfluxDB

InfluxData is based on the TICK stack, the first open source platform for managing IoT time-series data at scale.

Sample pillars

Single-node influxdb, enabled http frontend and admin web interface:

influxdb:
  server:
    enabled: true
    http:
      enabled: true
      bind:
        address: 0.0.0.0
        port: 8086
    admin:
      enabled: true
      bind:
        address: 0.0.0.0
        port: 8083

Single-node influxdb, SSL for http frontend:

influxdb:
  server:
    enabled: true
    http:
      bind:
        ssl:
          enabled: true
          key_file: /etc/influxdb/ssl/key.pem
          cert_file: /etc/influxdb/ssl/cert.pem

Single-node influxdb where you specify paths for data and metastore directories. You need to ensure that directories exist:

influxdb:
  server:
    enabled: true
    data:
      dir: '/opt/influxdb/data'
      wal_dir: '/opt/influxdb/wal'
    meta:
      dir: '/opt/influxdb/meta'

Single-node influxdb with an admin user:

influxdb:
  server:
    enabled: true
    http:
      enabled: true
      bind:
        address: 0.0.0.0
        port: 8086
    admin:
      enabled: true
      bind:
        address: 0.0.0.0
        port: 8083
      user:
        enabled: true
        name: root
        password: secret

Single-node influxdb with new users:

influxdb:
  server:
    user:
      user1:
        enabled: true
        admin: true
        name: username1
        password: keepsecret1
      user2:
        enabled: true
        admin: false
        name: username2
        password: keepsecret2

Single-node influxdb with new databases:

influxdb:
  server:
    database:
      mydb1:
        enabled: true
        name: mydb1
      mydb2:
        enabled: true
        name: mydb2

Manage the retention policies for a database:

influxdb:
  server:
    database:
      mydb1:
        enabled: true
        name: mydb1
        retention_policy:
        - name: rp_db1
          duration: 30d
          replication: 1
          is_default: true

Where default values are:

• name = autogen
• duration = INF
• replication = 1
• is_default: false

Here is how to manage grants on database:

influxdb:
  server:
    grant:
      username1_mydb1:
        enabled: true
        user: username1
        database: mydb1
        privilege: all
      username2_mydb1:
        enabled: true
        user: username2
        database: mydb1
        privilege: read
      username2_mydb2:
        enabled: true
        user: username2
        database: mydb2
        privilege: write

InfluxDB relay:

influxdb:
  server:
    enabled: true
    http:
      enabled: true
      output:
        idb01:
          location: http://idb01.local:8086/write
          timeout: 10
        idb02:
          location: http://idb02.local:8086/write
          timeout: 10
    udp:
      enabled: true
      output:
        idb01:
          location: idb01.local:9096
        idb02:
          location: idb02.local:9096

InfluxDB cluster:

influxdb:
  server:
    enabled: true
  meta:
    bind:
      address: 0.0.0.0
      port: 8088
      http_address: 0.0.0.0
      http_port: 8091
  cluster:
    members:
      - host: idb01.local
        port: 8091
      - host: idb02.local
        port: 8091
      - host: idb03.local
        port: 8091

Deploy influxdb apt repository (using linux formula):

linux:
  system:
    os: ubuntu
    dist: xenial
    repo:
      influxdb:
        enabled: true
        source: 'deb https://repos.influxdata.com/${linux:system:os} ${linux:system:dist} stable'
        key_url: 'https://repos.influxdata.com/influxdb.key'
