Hi, I followed all instructions at Install
InfluxDB | InfluxDB OSS 2.1 Documentation for Windows)
as well as the influx cli.
I can access InfluxDB at localhost:8086 in the browser and logged in. However, when I run the influx cli in powershell or commandline, I never get connected and always get the help menu displayed as you can notice in the snapshots.
I doubted that it was a firewall issue so I disabled firewall, but same results.
In fact I am trying to follow a tutorial and need to create a database, I browsed the UI in the browser, was not able to find where I can create a database.
I am not sure what you are trying to achieve.
If you run influx.exe --active-config default it just sets the configuration to the default profile - nothing more.
If you run influx.exe alone, nothing will happen, because influx.exe needs at least a [command] - as described in the help output or documentation.
I tried
influx -execute âSHOW DATABASESâ
but getting same output. Where can I find examples for possible commands? In the URL you mentioned, only details but no examples. What I want to achieve is to be able to work with the command line.
If I understand well your response, âSHOW DATABASESâ does not exist anymore? OK what are the corresponding commands for Buckets? Thanks
I am sorry, but i am not willing to watch a 1h+ tutorial to find out the problem.
After a very short peek into the video, i am quite sure they are using InfluxDBv1
Yes, youy are correct it is 1⊠something. OK, let me ask you last question and then I will try to look in the docs. When trying to add datasource in Grafana, we are always asked to give a dB name not bucket,
Thanks, I tried but getting
Error: failed to list buckets: 401 Unauthorized: unauthorized access
I went trhough the doc, there is no log command nor any hint except adding a profile which I did as I said earlier
Because this tutorial seems to be for InfluxDBv1 and in InfluxDBv1 they were called databases.
As i already said, InfluxDBv1 and InfluxDBv2 are quite different. In InfluxDBv2 they are called buckets.
You also cannot use influx cli commands from v2 on v1 and vice versa.
I donât know Grafana very well, but there should be a datasource for both InfluxDBv1 and InfluxDBv2 in current versions of Grafana. In older versions of Grafana there was no datasource for InfluxDBv2.
but connection is not going through, Influx does not log or show anything.
In grafana >> add datasource >> influx DB details, it asks foe "TOKEN, is it the token found in this place (snapshot hereunder) or is it the user password, I am a little bit confused
