InfluxDB 2.0 is a time series platform that was created with the goal of collecting, storing, processing, and visualising metrics and events.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Windows 10 64-bit AMD architecture Powershell or Windows Subsystem for Linux are required (WSL)
InfluxDB v2.0 is available for download and installation.
To begin, get InfluxDB v2.0 for Windows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Then, in C:Program FilesInfluxData, expand the downloaded archive and rename it if necessary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Expand-Archive .\\influxdb2-2.0.9-windows-amd64.zip -DestinationPath 'C:\\Program Files\\InfluxData\\'\n> mv 'C:\\Program Files\\InfluxData\\influxdb2-2.0.9-windows-amd64' 'C:\\Program Files\\InfluxData\\influxdb'<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\nPorts for networking<\/strong>
For client-server connection over the InfluxDB HTTP API, InfluxDB utilises TCP port 8086 by default.<\/p>\n\n\n\nInfluxDB should be started.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Navigate to C:Program FilesInfluxDatainfluxdb in Powershell and execute the influxd daemon to start InfluxDB:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
> cd -Path 'C:\\Program Files\\InfluxData\\influxdb'\n> .\/influxd<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\nInformation on available flags and settings can be found in the influxd manual.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Allow access to the network<\/strong>
Windows Defender will show with the following notification when you initially start InfluxDB:<\/p>\n\n\n\nSome functions of this software have been banned by Windows Defender Firewall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n- Select Private networks, such as my home or work network, first.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Next, select Allow access from the drop-down menu.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
“Call home” with InfluxDB<\/p>\n\n\n\n
InfluxDB sends telemetry data back to InfluxData by default. The telemetry page on the InfluxData website explains what data is gathered and how it is used.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Include the \u2013reporting-disabled flag when running influxd to prevent telemetry data from being sent back to InfluxData.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
.\/influxd --reporting-disabled<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\nInstall InfluxDB.<\/strong>
The first step in the InfluxDB setup procedure is to create a default organisation, user, bucket, and Operator API token.<\/p>\n\n\n\nBoth the InfluxDB user interface (UI) and the influx command line interface offer setup options (CLI).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Permissions for operators’ tokens<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll organisations in the database have complete read and write access to the Operator token created during the InfluxDB setup procedure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We propose creating an All-Access token for each organisation and using it to manage InfluxDB to avoid unintentional interactions between them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Use the UI to set up InfluxDB.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n- Go to localhost:8086 when InfluxDB is active. 2. Then press the Get Started button.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
Create your first user.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To begin, create a Username for your first user.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
