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:

.. code-block:: yaml

    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:

.. code-block:: yaml

    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:

.. code-block:: yaml

    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:

.. code-block:: yaml

    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:

.. code-block:: yaml

    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:

.. code-block:: yaml

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

Manage the retention policies for a database:

.. code-block:: yaml

    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:

.. code-block:: yaml

    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:

.. code-block:: yaml

    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:

.. code-block:: yaml

    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):

.. code-block:: yaml

    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'
