InfluxDB is the leading open source time series database for metrics, events, and real-time analytics.
Documentation | Community Forum | Community Slack | Blog | InfluxDB University | YouTube
InfluxDB is an open source time series database with no external dependencies. It's useful for recording metrics, events, and performing analytics.
This branch, master-1.x
, is for InfluxDB 1.x. If you'd like to leverage InfluxDB 2.x, please switch to the main-2.x
branch. The main
branch is currently being used for active development on the open source version of InfluxDB 3.x and is not ready for production use.
- 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.
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 withsystemd
. For example, Ubuntu 15 or later.$GOPATH/bin/influxd
if you have built InfluxDB from source.
