How to use InfluxDB

InfluxDB is an open-source time series database optimized for fast, high-availability storage and retrieval of time series data, has no external dependencies and provides an SQL-like language for CRUD operations.

It is great option to store huge sets of time-series data and supports lightning fast retrieval.


How to install -

download v1.8.0

https://dl.influxdata.com/influxdb/releases/influxdb-1.8.0_windows_amd64.zip

Just unzip it to any dir - no other installation step involved.

dir - C:\influxdb

You may change the conf to disable reporting to influx website.


How to run -

Open cmd and go to install dir of influxdb and run the influxd.exe like below

C:\influxdb>.\influxd.exe

By default, an InfluxDB instance runs on port 8086

This will start the instance, not the database. 

To interact with a database, run the influx.exe which is a CLI tool for working with influx databases.
