InfluxDB-Python is a client for interacting with InfluxDB_. The main source of the library is found at https://github.com/influxdata/influxdb-python.
Development of this library is maintained by and the relay features was edited by me:
| Github ID | URL |
|---|---|
| @aviau | (https://github.com/aviau) |
| @xginn8 | (https://github.com/xginn8) |
| @sebito91 | (https://github.com/sebito91) |
InfluxDB is an open-source distributed time series database, find more about InfluxDB_ at https://docs.influxdata.com/influxdb/latest
Simply clone the library and enter the folder and execute pip install .
Currently, all the functions edited causes the whole library to be workable only with the influxdb-relay architecture by https://github.com/strike-team/influxdb-relay which is highly maintained by the developers. They added a /admin endpoint in order to create database (for e.g) to be used in all 3 instances rather than simply using for just 1 instance like the default library assumes.
With this, I edited the library requests to call to the /admin endpoint instead to do these administrative tasks. Everything remains the same, you can refer to the docs by the influxdata team that created the influxdb-python files in regards to each individual APIs, for the relay calls, simply add relay_create_database for example to create the database for the instances that you have set up.
Main functions that have been added for the relay:
- create_database --> relay_create_database
- drop_database --> relay_drop_database
- create_users --> relay_create_user
- drop_user --> relay_drop_user
- drop_measurement --> relay_drop_measurement
- create_retention_policy --> relay_create_retention_policy
- alter_retention_policy --> relay_alter_retention_policy
- drop_retention_policy --> relay_drop_retention_policy
- set_user_password --> relay_set_user_password
- delete_series --> relay_delete_series
- grant_admin_privileges --> relay_grant_admin_privileges
- revoke_admin_privileges --> relay_revoke_admin_privileges
- grant_privilege --> relay_grant_privilege
- revoke_privilege --> relay_revoke_privilege
- create_continuous_query --> relay_create_continuous_query
- drop_continuous_query --> relay_drop_continuous_query
