InfluxDB Cluster
An Open-Source, Distributed, Time Series Database
InfluxDB Cluster is an open source time series database with no external dependencies. It's useful for recording metrics, events, and performing analytics.
InfluxDB Cluster is inspired by InfluxDB Enterprise, InfluxDB v1.8.10 and InfluxDB v0.11.1, aiming to replace InfluxDB Enterprise.
InfluxDB Cluster is easy to maintain, and can be updated in real time with upstream InfluxDB 1.x.
Features
- 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.
- Clustering is supported out of the box, so that you can scale horizontally to handle your data. Clustering is currently in production state.
- 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.
Clustering
Note: The clustering of InfluxDB Cluster is exactly the same as that of InfluxDB Enterprise.

Getting Started
Create your first database
curl -XPOST "http://influxdb-data-01:8086/query" --data-urlencode "q=CREATE DATABASE mydb"
Insert some data
curl -XPOST "http://influxdb-data-01:8086/write?db=mydb" \
-d 'cpu,host=server01,region=uswest load=42 1434055562000000000'
curl -XPOST "http://influxdb-data-02:8086/write?db=mydb" \
-d 'cpu,host=server02,region=uswest load=78 1434055562000000000'
curl -XPOST "http://influxdb-data-02:8086/write?db=mydb" \
-d 'cpu,host=server03,region=useast load=15.4 1434055562000000000'
Query for the data
curl -G "http://influxdb-data-02:8086/query?pretty=true" --data-urlencode "db=mydb" \
--data-urlencode "q=SELECT * FROM cpu WHERE host='server01' AND time < now() - 1d"
Analyze the data
curl -G "http://influxdb-data-02:8086/query?pretty=true" --data-urlencode "db=mydb" \
--data-urlencode "q=SELECT mean(load) FROM cpu WHERE region='uswest'"
