From what I read there should be a part populated one somewhere ready to be modified, so I am reluctant to create one with the “flue-enableed = true”, and I wouldn’t know where to put it!
Can someone point me in the right direction please…thanks
To the best of my knowledge, flux is not part of InfluxDB 1.8
Flux was introduced with InfluxDB 2 (which also has a backward-compatible
InfluxQL facility), so you’ll need to upgrade Influx to be able to use the new
query language.
Ah, apologies, I wasn’t aware of that. However, I haven’t tried to use Flux
so far, in any version of InfluxDB, so I hope there is someone else here who
can help with your question.
In the meantime, it might be helpful if you would tell us:
a) which operating system and version are you running Influx under?
b) how did you install Influx on it?
c) if you installed a packaged version, where did you get the package from /
if you installed from source, where did you get the source from?
InfluxDB does not require an explicit config file to run, if none is provided it has an “internal” default config, you can then override it with Env variables or config file.
the priority is EnvVariables → conf file → internal config.
InfluxDB is configured using the configuration file (influxdb.conf ) and environment variables. If you do not uncomment a configuration option, the system uses its default setting. The configuration settings in this document are set to their default settings.
You can get the default (internal) config by running influxd --config, put that into a file and change the influxDB “execution/startup” to run with influxd -config /etc/influxdb/influxdb.conf
