I am currently working on an MES and industrial monitoring project during my internship. I am learning and implementing tools like InfluxDB, Telegraf, and Grafana for real-time data collection and visualization.
I am facing some issues during the installation and configuration process, especially with:
For setting up InfluxDB, I’d recommend starting with the Get Started page in the documentation. This will tell you how to download, install, get InfluxDB running, and write data.
If you are using InfluxDB 3 Core, you will only need to use an admin token for authentication. If you’re using Enterprise, there are also docs on resource tokens and authentication.
This blog has a solid step-by-step guide for connecting Grafana to InfluxDB3.
One thing to be aware of is that there’s different versions of InfluxDB - v1, v2, and v3 all function somewhat differently, and you’ll want to make sure that if you’re trying to work with InfluxDB v3, that you’re not reading guides or documentation for InfluxDB v2, for instance.
Other than that, if you run into any issues with any of this or encounter any specific snags, feel free to reply here.
