Thanks @davidgs for a really helpful post! I have a somewhat basic question: I have a host with Chronograf 1.7.3 connected to InfluxDB 1.7.1. I’ve enabled Flux in the Influx config (per Flux 0.7 Technical Preview | InfluxData) and restarted the service, etc, yet the “Flux” button under “Explore” in Chronograf is still grayed out, with a message “The current source does not support Flux”. Any ideas what I can do to troubleshoot?
Some data points:
- Chronograf can successfully query the server using the normal QL.
- The Influx server is running with SSL and authentication enabled.
- I don’t see any seemingly relevant log messages in either the Influx on the Chronograf logs (nothing mentioning Flux)
- It’s not clear to me how to test if Flux is actually running.
- Trying
curl -X GET https://servername:8086/v2(as mentioned here: Can't get flux to work - #6 by tim.hall) returns 404, which is probably not a good sign. - Running the
influxCLI with-type fluxdoes get me a Flux prompt, but I don’t know if that’s evidence of a successful connection (it wasn’t clear to me how to construct a query in the CLI)
- Trying
I’d appreciate any pointers! We’ve been using Influx for a while and are really excited about the potential of Flux to unlock some serious capabilities, but it’s clearly baby steps for now.
Thanks in advance!
