InfluxDB

Overview

Configure InfluxDB for time-series data storage and analysis. Two generations are in use and they are not interchangeable:

• InfluxDB 2 (OSS 2.9.1, port 8086): buckets, the Flux language, tasks, checks, a built-in UI, the influx CLI. Tasks A–F below. Flux is in maintenance mode — still supported on 1.x and 2.x, never coming to 3.
• InfluxDB 3 Core (3.11.5, port 8181): databases and tables, SQL and InfluxQL, the influxdb3 CLI, no Flux and no tasks (a Python processing engine replaces them). Task G.
