Welcome to our guide on how to Install InfluxDB on Fedora 30\/Fedora 29. InfluxDB<\/a> is an open source time series database written in Go to provide scalable datastore for system metrics, events and real-time analytics. InfluxDB is designed to be fast, highly available and to handle high write and query loads. It is one of the major components of TICK<\/a> stack which composes of Telegraf, InfluxDB, Chronograf and Kapacitor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Install InfluxDB on Fedora 30\/Fedora 29<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

To install InfluxDB on Fedora, you can manually use the RPM package or you can create the InfluxDB repo and install it automatically from repos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We covered how to install Telegraf on Fedora 30\/Fedora 29 in our previous guide. See the link below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Install Telegraf on Fedora 30\/Fedora 29<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Install InfluxDB using RPM package<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

To install InfluxDB using RPM package, download the binary file from the downloads page<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

wget https:\/\/dl.influxdata.com\/influxdb\/releases\/influxdb-1.7.6.x86_64.rpm<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
Check the SHA256 hash of the downloaded binary if matches the hash provided on the downloads page, ffcf0def4a0bffb74728c7aaa0ade39231ea4e91b3be67de5528d7982b295ea8<\/code>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
sha256sum influxdb-1.7.6.x86_64.rpm
ffcf0def4a0bffb74728c7aaa0ade39231ea4e91b3be67de5528d7982b295ea8  influxdb-1.7.6.x86_64.rpm
<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
If all is well, proceed to install InfluxDB;<\/p>\n\n\n\n
dnf localinstall influxdb-1.7.6.x86_64.rpm<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
Install InfluxDB from InfluxDB Repository<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
To install InfluxDB from InfluxDB repos, you need to create the InfluxDB repository on Fedora 30 as shown below;<\/p>\n\n\n\n
cat > \/etc\/yum.repos.d\/influxdb.repo << EOF\n[influxdb]\nname = InfluxDB Repository\nbaseurl = https:\/\/repos.influxdata.com\/rhel\/7Server\/x86_64\/stable\/\nenabled = 1\ngpgcheck = 1\ngpgkey = https:\/\/repos.influxdata.com\/influxdb.key\nEOF<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
Next, install InfluxDB by running the command below;<\/p>\n\n\n\n
dnf update
dnf install influxdb<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
Start and Enable InfluxDB service<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Once the installation is done, you can start and enable InfluxDB service by running the commands;<\/p>\n\n\n\n
systemctl start influxdb
systemctl enable influxdb<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
Open InfluxDB ports on Firewall<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
InfluxDB uses TCP ports 8086 and 8088 for client-server communication and for back up and restore operations respectively. Hence ensure that these ports are opened on firewalld.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
firewall-cmd --add-port={8086,8088}\/tcp --permanent
firewall-cmd --reload<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
Testing InfluxDB<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Now that the installation of InfluxDB is done, you can, in basics, test it by creating a database as shown below;<\/p>\n\n\n\n
curl -XPOST \"http:\/\/localhost:8086\/query\" --data-urlencode \"q=CREATE DATABASE testdb\"
 {\"results\":[{\"statement_id\":0}]}<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
Well that seems okay. You can also verify this by logging into InfluxDB and showing the databases as shown below. InfluxDB supports InfluxQL, an SQL-like query language that enables you to execute SQL like queries on InfluxDB<\/p>\n\n\n\n
influx\nConnected to http:\/\/localhost:8086 version 1.7.6\nInfluxDB shell version: 1.7.6\nEnter an InfluxQL query\n> show databases;\nname: databases\nname\n----\ntelegraf\n_internal\ntestdb<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
You can also create databases while you are logged in to InfluxDB just as you would on the other database systems;<\/p>\n\n\n\n
create database testdb1 <\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
> show databases;\nname: databases\nname\n----\ntelegraf\n_internal\ntestdb\ntestdb1\n><\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
You can also create database user.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
> use testdb\nUsing database testdb\n> create user testuser with password 'StrongPass'\n><\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
To show users in a database;<\/p>\n\n\n\n
> show users\nuser     admin\n----     -----\ntestuser false<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
To create and grant a user all privileges;<\/p>\n\n\n\n
> create user amos with password 'NicePASS' with all privileges<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
> show users\nuser     admin\n----     -----\ntestuser false\namos     true<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
Great. That is just about it on how to install InfluxDB on Fedora 30. Enjoy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
