InfluxDB
ATTENTION:
Around January 11th, 2019, master
on this repository will become InfluxDB 2.0 code. The content of infludata/platform
will be moved to this repository. If you rely on master
, you should update your dependencies to track the 1.7
branch.
An Open-Source Time Series Database
InfluxDB is an open source time series database with
no external dependencies. It's useful for recording metrics,
events, and performing analytics.
Features
- Built-in HTTP API so you don't have to write any server side code to get up and running.
- Data can be tagged, allowing very flexible querying.
- SQL-like query language.
- Simple to install and manage, and fast to get data in and out.
- It aims to answer queries in real-time. That means every data point is
indexed as it comes in and is immediately available in queries that
should return in < 100ms.
Installation
We recommend installing InfluxDB using one of the pre-built packages. Then start InfluxDB using:
service influxdb start
if you have installed InfluxDB using an official Debian or RPM package.systemctl start influxdb
if you have installed InfluxDB using an official Debian or RPM package, and are running a distro with systemd
. For example, Ubuntu 15 or later.$GOPATH/bin/influxd
if you have built InfluxDB from source.
Getting Started
Create your first database
curl -XPOST "http://localhost:8086/query" --data-urlencode "q=CREATE DATABASE mydb"
Insert some data
curl -XPOST "http://localhost:8086/write?db=mydb" \
-d 'cpu,host=server01,region=uswest load=42 1434055562000000000'
curl -XPOST "http://localhost:8086/write?db=mydb" \
-d 'cpu,host=server02,region=uswest load=78 1434055562000000000'
curl -XPOST "http://localhost:8086/write?db=mydb" \
-d 'cpu,host=server03,region=useast load=15.4 1434055562000000000'
Query for the data
curl -G "http://localhost:8086/query?pretty=true" --data-urlencode "db=mydb" \
--data-urlencode "q=SELECT * FROM cpu WHERE host='server01' AND time < now() - 1d"
Analyze the data
curl -G "http://localhost:8086/query?pretty=true" --data-urlencode "db=mydb" \
--data-urlencode "q=SELECT mean(load) FROM cpu WHERE region='uswest'"
