Setup InfluxDB on Ubuntu OS.

Setup

sh ./setup.sh

InfluxDB shell version: 1.1.1 (if this text is visible on your screen, setup will be done!)

Create Users.

Step1 : Enable authentication

• The configuration file is located in /etc/influxdb/influxdb.conf.
• Edit this file.
• In the [http]section of the InfluxDB configuration file (influxdb.conf), uncomment the auth-enabled option and set it to true, as shown here:

  [http]  
  # Determines whether HTTP endpoint is enabled.
  # enabled = true

  # The bind address used by the HTTP service.
  # bind-address = ":8086"

  # Determines whether HTTP authentication is enabled.
  auth-enabled = true #

Step2 : Restart InfluxDB Service

sudo systemctl restart influxdb

Step3 : Create a admin user

curl -XPOST "http://localhost:8086/query" --data-urlencode "q=CREATE USER admin WITH PASSWORD 'admin' WITH ALL PRIVILEGES"

• localhost : with the IP or hostname of your InfluxDB OSS instance or one of your InfluxEnterprise data nodes

• admin : with your own username

• admin : with your own password (note that the password requires single quotes)

• If this text {"results":[{"statement_id":0}]} show on screen, setup done !!!

Remote to Influxdb server

influx -host 'host' -port 'port' -username 'username' -password 'password'
