InfluxDB Enterprise v1 documentation

InfluxDB Enterprise provides a time series database designed to handle high write and query loads and offers highly scalable clusters on your infrastructure with a management UI. Use for DevOps monitoring, IoT sensor data, and real-time analytics.

InfluxDB Cloud 1 users

InfluxDB Cloud 1 (InfluxCloud 1.x) is based on InfluxDB Enterprise v1. This is the correct documentation.

Key features

  • High performance datastore written specifically for time series data. High ingest speed and data compression.
  • Provides high availability across your cluster and eliminates a single point of failure.
  • Written entirely in Go. Compiles into a single binary with no external dependencies.
  • Simple, high performing write and query HTTP APIs.
  • Plugin support for other data ingestion protocols such as Graphite, collectd, and OpenTSDB.
  • Expressive SQL-like query language tailored to easily query aggregated data.
  • Continuous queries automatically compute aggregate data to make frequent queries more efficient.
  • Tags let you index series for fast and efficient queries.
  • Retention policies efficiently auto-expire stale data.

InfluxDB OSS 2.9.0: API tokens are hashed by default

Stronger token security in InfluxDB OSS 2.9.0 — tokens are hashed on disk by default. Existing tokens are hashed on first startup and can’t be recovered afterward. Capture any plaintext tokens you still need before you upgrade.

View InfluxDB OSS 2.9.0 release notes

Hashed tokens authenticate exactly like unhashed tokens — clients and integrations keep working.

Also new in 2.9.0:

  • Configurable backup compression
  • Restore support for backups containing hashed tokens
  • Tighter Edge Data Replication queue validation
  • Flux upgrade
  • Compaction reliability improvements

  • --max-concurrent-queries: limit concurrent queries (adjustable at runtime).
  • GET /ready endpoint for readiness probes.
  • Processing engine: cross-database queries and trigger lockdown flags.

For more information, see the InfluxDB 3 Core release notes.

InfluxDB 3.10 is now available

InfluxDB 3 Enterprise 3.10 adds automated backup and restore, row-level deletions, and user management, with an automatic catalog format upgrade and performance preview improvements.
